Sir Why You Little

I agree. But when the same mistakes are repeated then the Head Coach must be accountable, players are not drilled hard enough to be desperate at every contest (just jogging around....) we have all seen it dr.

It must be rectified, not hope it might be. Goodwin has to be ready to face a good coach with a Plan A, B & C depending how a game evolves. Why is our kicking into the forward line at the ‘G always poor, these fixables seem to just continue... is that not stuff that should be sorted early days?

It’s 100% psychological now i believe. Which is why i still connect history with our current performances. A Melbourne Jumper evokes smirks and laughter to the wider community, has done for a long time (school days for me) and it has never really stopped. Does a new recruit ever feel pity or disdain putting on a Whorethorn jumper for the first time? It’s all above the shoulders Goody

This is the bit i truly do not understand, after what happened in Round 23 ‘17. It is why i worry about Goodwin as a senior coach, i am not crucifying him, but i worry that basic traits like desperation are not instilled in the team as a non negotiable. Yesterday’s loss was bad, but we have seen it all before. 3.12 at halftime is so Melbourne against a serious opponent

Meth Coke will win easy next week, if Hibberd and Melksham do not play. If they are both fit and ready can still see us winning a tough game.

What a humorous thread. Our delivery inside 50 continues to be horrendous and people are wanting to trade a key forward because of it. The kid is carrying an injury which is probably why his kicking has gone off, but to talk of trade is ludicrous Jones goes first in my book. He is done. Father time is at the door ?

That’s the difference. The MFC hope we do well in big games The good sides knuckle down and do it, they refuse to stop until it is done, and if they do fail sporadically, it is very rare that they don’t redeem themselves next week. We are still a long way from that mindset

Fine, do it in silence

Hit the ignore button or go away. I have told you before it’s not hard.

This is exactly the problem. Melbourne players haven’t wanted success, REAL SUCCESS badly enough. They say they do, but talk is cheap, anyone can talk

The club hasn’t been able to handle high pressure for decades. Different personel, different players, but always the same result. It’s all psychological, has to be. We just don’t believe deep down we can win big games, we hope we can win them. Huge difference

It was Dean Bailey actually. The rest of what you have sad i agree with!!

Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 Number 9

What hurts most is the same mistakes keep getting made. We don’t have leaders who can pick up the team and drag them over the line the same thing happened under Northey, Balme and Danniher. We always dropped crucial games, that good strong clubs always win....

That has been my concern all along...

Give it a rest

I wish i felt otherwise DD, but the repeat cycle has not changed against any decent opponent

Jones is finished at AFL level He has never performed well against good sides

Another Tripper

Wiseblood is obviously on some good Acid today. The Swans were 2 men down. We should have smashed them in the last Quarter Simon Goodwin, i remain unconvinced

It’s time for Jones to really think about retirement. Captains must stand up and show the way. At Training and on Game Day that’s the credentials of a Captain...

Wow!!!

“But we’ll learn from this...” Goodwin

That is his job to make it instinctive that all the things you mentioned are a standard. Top Sides don’t lie down

Still only 14 points with an hour to go Get Tough Melbourne
