Demon Disciple

Being very generous to Bowey and Salem @joeboy MFC - steadfast lacking tenacity

What I wouldn’t give for Toby Greene in our side! Coaches will drain the flare out of him and our players wouldn’t use him effectively.

Melbourne lol

Goodwin is more evolution, not revolution. Do you back in the coach or back in the players? Both need to change their attitude and endeavour pronto.

Don’t worry about the supporters having trust issues with the team, the players clearly have doubts in the game plan and that’s is more concerning. Where is the buy in? Why has it evaporated? Coaches have no answers, time for some fresh innovative ideas. Id love a coaching clean out at years end, as our key pillars of contest and defence are simply shambolic and has suffocated the dare out of this team. But we’ll continue to back in a stale and broken system.

Yep, he’s having very little impact on games now. Almost as slow as TMAC. Id say he should step down from the captaincy, but who would take his place? We are bereft of leadership.

And to the 24k odd Melbourne supporters that put in the effort to show up, the 2021 flag is for the likes of us. Those that could’ve but chose not to go, that fickleness is why you’re not worthy of our 13th premiership. For all my loathing of the Filth, at least their supporters continually turn up

A typical Melbourne supporter response, blaming umpires. Yes they were very poor (#6 was making Nichols look like a superstar), but werent the reason for the loss. Our 4 quarter efforts have become 1.5. That is on the coaches. This club is now severely lacking in passion.

Good news GTG, it’s only 55 to wait

Goodwin doesn’t like admitting he gets things wrong

Salem is soft, Max is soft, Lever is soft (and a liability in the air), Fritta is soft, Spargo is soft. Where the [censored] has our ruthless running and physicality gone? Major decisions and lists changes are needed if we are wanting to realistically contend again with this list. Goodwins time has come and gone, as the boys are no longer committing to the gameplan (he cannot inspire the players anymore). Let’s see what the pres does, as it’s easy to come in when times are good, how all she react when there is a little pressure. I hope unlike our coach she freezes and opts for the defensive faith in the system. Our club has complacently reverted back to being reactive. Also, can we find another name for Melbourne in the indigenous language other than Narrm, as we are doing that name a disservice.

New goal age is 91 for me then. Filth supporters will outnumber us 2-1 KB

Grateful for Goody coaching us to the 2021 flag, but he’s got to go. We’ve become way too easy to coach against, and have no plan B. Gotta clean out the assistants too.

How long left

Gosh we are making it hard work for ourselves. The most dangerous we’ve looked is when we’ve gone in quick. Then there’s all the handball bs. Spargo and Fritta need to eat some cement and harden up (look at Gus’s attack running back - get that into your games). Where has our accurate goal kicking gone? And for the love of god, someone get attack side of ball-ups

Either trade the picks for ready-made talent (hard unless we shed some cap space ourselves), or improve our picks to have a good presence inside the first 20 picks.

I was wondering when the last time it was that a team won by 100 points one week, then lost by 100 the very next? Dorks win was to appease the masses (and WCE are truly that awful). If Hawks want Harley Reid then they're gonna need to get their percentage back in order (and the Saints are good at an easy kill)

The filth are a good team, no doubt. They have been the best team of the year to date (so were we this time last year). I just think that come finals when wins mean the most and fear of losing is all the more powerful, they'll once again be found wanting.

Our 2021 victory was nothing like the Dogs in 16 aside from premiership droughts being broken. The Dogs were simply the best team of the finals, they werent the best team of the year. We were. We were minor premiers, and easily accounted for all comers in our finals.

Will probably look to explore other opportunities at years end, and i wouldnt blame him.

Why not, we are in contention now.

I will gladly join you in booing the umpires, they deserve to be held to account. i see we’ve drawn Nichols this game, so I will definitely be booing.

Nope

Nothing as far as facilities goes.

Goody’s key pillars of contest and defence are failing miserably this year. Getting killed in clearances and all at sea when defending. This is 100% an attitude problem from both the playing and coaching group. Are they too proud to admit it to themselves? Or simply too arrogant to believe that it simply is not the case? Thankfully we still have time to right the ship, because this isn’t something that can simply be turned on like a light switch. A team like ours needs belief, confidence and momentum for it to be sustained. The positive is that we are 7-3 and havent really got going yet. The negative is that we are 10 rounds in and have yet to get going.
