Yes. Lyon or Clarko would be my preference. I don’t think the club will part ways with Goodwin though...COVID means he will see out his contract imo

I don't think the club can afford not to give Goodwin the push along with others in the FD

You've lost the plot. Daniher is an injury prone hack.

I think people can be forgiven losing the plot after that horrendous display

Let’s go easy on Burgess. If Misson was still around we wouldn’t have a team to feild

Well , sorry , I'm lashing out . I'm used to being fed bull****e from this hopeless organisation . 

We played like a team of Cale Mortons ...

I switched off at half time and turned onto Netflix for another Vikings episode 

Didnt Burgess say a couple of days ago that he had these short turnarounds covered and that he had advice from Premier League colleagues about preparations re fitness ? Obviously hasn't worked , but why am I not surprised .

Has there ever been a fan base that has suffered as much as us over many many years ? I think not . And I am thinking global here . We are just so cursed .

I don't know about you, but I needed the channel 7 cameras to capture Goodwin smashing the desk after a poor effort in the D50 that led to a Hawks goal. With "Goody',  It's always the smirk or the blank, thousand yard stare, or even the Krusty the Klown face. but for the first time, I saw some passion for the club from the coach. Thank God.  For me, a great sign. I'd love to know if others felt this was a watershed moment. 

Same here , at long last a sign of emotion rather than the detached look like he's looking at the aftermath of a car accident 

If you wanted to do something positive about the situation that can have a positive effect on the team going forward ( cliche) I'd suggest withholding your membership subs until Goodwin gets the boot. As I see it and no doubt many of us have  and suffered it for years  we have been promised much and been given precious little to hope for , save a taster in 2018 . Well since then mine and many fans hearts have shattered . Well I'm done with just rolling over my Direct Debit !! It won't be reactivated until Goodwin is gone . 

Look at the Saints , got a great coach after letting Richardson go who was a failure and Ratten turns it around between seasons and we high another failure to HELP Goodie in the box . You can't make this s@@t show up (sorry another cliche) Who was it that gave Goodwin a 3 year extension , should be strung up . It's just so Melbourne to make bloody awful calls on staff . 

God knows I love this club  and sadly always will, and believe we have the players . Goodwin has no passion , he is an empty vessel , no ideas whatsoever . You could put a pump up doll in the box and it would do better job .  Just once could he please just once  smash a phone or kick a door in to show he cares , anything to  show some red blooded passion . But he has no game beyond the rudimentary one he repeatedly brings with him to each and every match 

Anyway , I want him gone before next season as you would have guessed by now 

 , Goodwin DOES NOT CARE ! 

Completely rudderless 

Brett Ratten has turned the Saints into a much better team over an offseason , Goodwin is in his 4 season and  he has run this team of , on the whole better players than the Saints into rabble of a team , Goodwin must go

Honestly believe we've got the talent but the problem we've got seems to be leadership and coaching.

It's just total confusion.

But we don't have the $ to pay out Goody and  to contract a good new coach.

The AFL won't bail us out again.

I want my $1200 that I pay for 2 Trident memberships this season to going into a pot to pay out Goodwin . Did nothing to change to prevent Geelong kicking the same goal over and over again . He is a complete sham of a coach . Hopeless 

Here we are at Armageddon and we still [censored] and can't score ?

I wont automatically renew this year . I shall hold off and respond on what happens in first matches .

I haven`t heard anything at all but what I saw from some of the players tonight and the continued lost in space look in Goodwin`s face has me in no doubt we have a problem behind the scenes.

Some of the most selfish play and horrible body language I`ve seen in an AFL match.

Lets hope we get some answers at seasons end, we have imploded.

I saw that bad body language on the plane to Alice with the team . Something stinks to high heaven

There is nothing redeeming about that ‘performance’ tonight.

We are supposed to be the clearance team - we got smashed

We are supposed to be the tackling team - we got smashed

We are supposed to be exciting and fluid - we were turgid

Was it the lack of talent?  The lack of cohesion?  The lack of heart?  The lack of skill?

There is no spin for this one.  I have always looked for the positives, but that was devoid of anything.  

I will be a member next year.  It is hard to be a supporter, and I am not a fair weather follower.

I can’t remember fair weather . We’ve been excreta for years and years besides last year . I tell you I feel it’s Goodwin who is the cancer along with several others

I won’t be buying a Membership early this year. 

The Club can ring me and Beg next year, i am sick of giving this Club Free Money, when they do not care or respect it. 

Enough is Enough....

F$&@ You

Same here. Spent some $20000 for  the in doors and I over the 17 years or so and it’s been a [censored] investment many’s years of constant disappointment. Enough is enough. They have not met my KPI’s and will not be rejoining until things miraculously improve by a long shot

I witnessed something last night which confirms my belief football is played above the shoulders. A Melbourne player (who shall remain nameless) took possession of the ball, and was surrounded by opposition players. The Melbourne player was facing the way of the Melbourne goals, and behind the opposition players were several of his team mates. Split second decision to make. What does the Melbourne player do? He decides to deliver a long and high looping handball behind him over his head into empty space. St Kilda players pounced on it, said thank you very much and took it quickly to their forward line to kick an easy goal with no pressure.

Too many of these kind of decisions are being made. This team lacks footy smarts. They need to be taught some game intelligence, somehow, by somebody. Sick of watching dumb footy.

O, me O,my O, macMac

Thought we'd get up for this one

Boy, some work to do. 

Also, no Bruce and Carlisle and saints lose that game.

I thought Josh Bruce looked a lot like Basil Fawlty and we  played like him .

Completely agree with all that . 

Ok, so we had heaps of injuries from last season a many didn't get a preseason , but what on earth happened to their ball skills , hitting targets , fumbling marks falling over FFS . Most of them can't hit the side of a barn .

i cannot see us doing anything next season at all . Lewis and Jones cannot be allowed to play in the same side , they are glacial by foot. 

It appears like just about all of them choke on a kick for goal . Petty appears to have a very good goal kicking technique and I thought he did well up front . 

As usual far too many AWOL , and leaving it to others to battle it out 

MFC should actually offer us free membership next year for the horrendous slop and the total disappointment of this season . Talk about a  member killing season 

There is no way we will contend next season . So many of our players are cooked and rudderless 

Well that stuffed up my week. And to think I’m going to Alice Springs next week . I want my money back 

Just a question , but what the hell has happened to Braydon Preuss? He seems to have dropped off the planet , not injured, just seems to be a non person left in limbo....
