  1. He had a very similar repose during/after some games last year ( before his jury ) He knows there's very little support out there. But that said he can be just as guilty of burning his team mates.... a very ( sadly ) Melbourne thing atm. There is sfa vision exhibited by many players whose experience suggest they ought to know better. I totally get his frustrations

    Indeed damning. Combine that with a record for uncontested marks and you have a team that has nfi !! I think some commentators are pulling their punches currently. The lambasting should be far more brutal. The 'take pity on Melbourne 'is creeping back in. Wonder if Lewis would be interested in a job ??

    There are any number of reasons and considerations that could be provided for Goodwin to stand aside/ resign. All without particularly affecting his coin. Keep in mind the club is only exposed to 12 months of future payments ( at worst ) I actually think Goodwin is a decent bloke. I just don't think he's the one to continue with going forward. He might also have an epiphany and just see the light, see the reality of the current malaise and think it might be better to be part of the solution and not the problem. He might understand he's no longer being effective in a positive outcome scenario. This an astute and honourable position. He might therefore come to and understanding with the club to take a payout and pass the baton. He could do this and hold head high . He will not have been ignonimiously sacked . As the great Mr Rogers once uttered... gotta know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away. That time has come His standing and commercial value in the larger football world would be greater if he left on his terms. And I think ( even I ) that he deserves to do that in a fashion. A mutual gain. But if he is failing to see the world as it is.... that's on him. Time's up Simon

    Do you realise there's a difference between MANAGE and define, design, shape etc ? This is what most people fail to appreciate. The FD and Coach create the image of the team it wants. This 'design spec' is what the manager then attempts to fill. Tim is the tail... not the dog.

    U14s ? Was taught that in Primary School !! How an AFL level team CAN'T play football basics truly beggars belief
  7. I empathise with him really .... how bloody frustrated would YOU be ? He knows our game is rubbish.

    Not as such. What you need is ppl that know what they're doing. That doesn't predicate retaining the same coaches etc. A rebuild by description often involves upheaval. It just needs correctly hand holding.

    I reckon if you had to find one word to describe us currently.... it would be FRUSTRATION Again...whatever has been designed isn't working... and everybody knows it....and everyone knows it's not a 5 min fix ...if a fix at all. We really ought not be at this crossroad, but that a dilemma for examing at another date. ( worthy of scrutiny imho ) Whatever the brains trust thought would work during the off season plainly isn't and dare I say won't in its current guise. Not good
