Ooooof. Goodwin looks [censored].

one of us, one of us, one of us!

Crowns have 9 changes and multiple first gamers. Mind you we have an almost pristine injury list. This is the worst Crows side in their history and comfortably the weakest list in the league atm. And yet we are staring down the barrel of a loss. Unforgivable.

We could win by 10 goals and it won't matter. This team and this coach don't have it. Need to cut our loses. Fail quickly. We are just letting this drag on now.

fumble fumble fumble fumble. lazy free kicks. errors. we are a poor, poor side. this isn't a team playing for its coach.

You can just smell Walker taking this game over.

We kicked a goal there through Adelaide's sheer incompetence. And we still struggled.

Ooof average quarter so far.

ANB gone for that tackle. Just like against Port we can't get any space.

1 inside 50 and 1 goal

Oliver would net us a first round pick + solid player. Brayshaw has about as much value as Nathan Jones atm.

I swear those are Demonland comments. I even think one of them is mine.

2006, Travis. Round 1 we lost to Carlton. We then lost to them again in Round 18 whilst sitting 3rd on the later. Two of their three wins for the year came against us. We missed out on the top 4 by half a game. So very, very Melbourne.

And people question Barlett's motive. The board has worked better than any other board in the past 50 years to get us to a position. We are ready for takeoff as a club and company but are held back by shocking on-field performance. Rightly frustrated. Bartlett and co. have done their job. Now over to Goodwin and Co.

A head coach's KPIs are ultimately weighted more to team performance holistically so to say "it's a player problem not a coach problem" is in and of itself implicating the coach.

If we don't win by 8+ goals, we won't be playing finals, and Goodwin won't see out his contract. Never have we faced the prospect of such a one-sided match-up. If we can't win this comfortably then Goodwin and much of the team can gagf.

reasonable variables but they also haven't impacted most other teams that were expected to play finals and contend. we have looked very average in 5 of our 8 games with the Carlton game being poor after quarter time. it's been a tough season no doubt but last week they gave up and seemed to lack any real drive to want to compete with the genuine best. it's been a common theme for 50 years. at our worst we've looked bottom 4 and at our best for maybe 3 quarters total this year we've looked good. but the padding around it all points to a team that's improved on a 5-win season and not much else. but it's easy to improve when your starting point is trash.

hasn't this already occured?

Suspect TMac, Jones, Pickett. My ins: ANB, Bennell, Brown

We miss Hore.

can someone please summarise the article or PM me. I just read through 2 pages of mostly bickering and mudslinging and frankly I'd rather rewatch the match again than to subject myself to this thread again.

1993. One of my earliest memories as a Melbourne supporter. Even as a 6 year old I knew how bad Sydney was. We had beaten the Eagles at the MCG a few weeks before and looked like we could push for finals. Then Sydney pumped us at the MCG in front of like 5000 people for their first win in more than a year. Don't discount the Crowd. They will see us as very beatable. They finished last in 2014 and were a rabble for most of last year. Always had talent. Huge indictment on our recruitment and development as a club. They are flag smokies imo.

combination of overpaying average footballers (and coaches), and coaching/developing them poorly. Can add Oliver to this list as well. They've all been Melbourne'd. Should have just let Goodwin resign like he wanted to after the camp fiasco.

did Goodwin just say we need to come up with a strategy?
