I think that two straight set finals exits is a red flag.. this season I don't think he's coaching well but a lot has happened and it's just snowballed. Hence why I think we're better off judging him at this point next season.

The reality is that there is life out of footy and Maynard is clearly very close with a number of players. Which is probably our problem. We need to be hated and feared. If this was Hawthorn during their prime years and even now, they would leave everything on the field and regardless of friendships they'd have gone to town on Maynard. And then resume regular programing off the field. The problem is we aren't feared. Even after our flag, people knew that what's happened now was going to happen. We're in the same basket as Footscray. We could have the best list ever but it won't matter because the big boys of the league know they're in a different league. Love or hate him, Neeld had the right idea in that he wanted us to be the hardest team to play against and hated. You can want to he a hard team to play against, but unless you're truly feared, there will always be the belief that if you match our intensity, you have a chance to win.

Goodwin should be given a chance to right this ship. But the walls are closing in.

I've only been to three games this year. I can't shake how I felt after the Carlton final after witnessing 4 straight finals losses at the MCG after watching a flag under house arrest. I don't care what anyone says, the emotional roller-coaster we've been through has been amazing but also just demoralising. It's been bloody exhausting. Clubs like Melbourne, Footscray... we're just not built the right way. I'll be back eventually but the bitterness I feel after 2021 is just unhinged. I know i shouldn't feel this way but I do

you new here? veterans never watch the press conference.

All this says is the club isn't being forthcoming in where we're at.

this sort of analysis is really ticking me off.. Where are our shots coming from? How much space do we get? Who are we giving the ball to? We are playing like Adelaide atm. Just absolutely lost with no hunger or structure. I know you're trying to find positives but we just lost by 40 points against a team missing like 8 players.

We were playing a Collingwood team LITERALLY missing half their team.

Inaccurate has nothing to do with it. Our shots are from the pockets. Collingwood kicks theirs from direcrly in front. We have a shot directly in front from 50 and hit a target on the pocket. Daicos slots his from 55 out directly in front. This is 100%, undoubtedly, unequivocally structural. This is a coaching decision. It's how we played in 2021. It's how we're playing now. We have a 60 goal forward in Fritsch who consistently can't get into games. We consistently kick to spare defenders. We are poorly coached.

it's not about replacing him. It's about moving someone on who isn't right. You go to the talent pool. Three years ago, Mcrae was a fly in the wind. The Pies lost to West Coast at Marvel and then went on to play a Prelim and a flag a year later. He has them playing with a hunger. Goodwin has clearly lost it. You don't hold onto a rotten spud just because you can't replace it. He's got them playing bottom 4 football. It is so bloody obvious.

Melbourne supporters need to be filthy about this [censored] and we need to stop [censored] around. I don't care if you're in the Demon Army, the Demonland podcast, an absolute one-eyed diehard... We won a flag in the worst possible year to win a flag when we were all locked in our homes and couldn't attend. Then we back it up with four (4!) straight finals losses at the MCG. The club has resumed regular programing and it is absolute rubbish! Collingwood has eleven, 11 of its best 22 out. They have zero forward line. We are missing Jake Lever. After everything this club went through after last year's Qualifying Final, to play like this... If anyone even tries to justify this I'll lose it. We have no changed as a football club. What happened in the off season was nothing short of a disgrace. This club has always lacked heart and it always will. I haven't fully recovered after last year's semi final loss and I am now deeper in my resentment for this club. What a waste of my [censored] time and money.

2.5 to 4.0 that quarter. Goodwin must be sweating.

I'm going home.

This is an absolute coaching clinic by Mcrae. Really putting Goodwin and Bevo on notice. They are one dimensional coaches who simply can't get players playing fundamentals.

You simply cannot justify this scoreline.

Please stop with this. Your forward line is as good as your structure and entry. Collingwood isn't winning this. We're losing it. We have zero sync, zero structure, no desire. It is painful to watch everywhere.

Stuff this. Seriously.

we have zero hunger

we are so out of sync.

They have some tickets now. I secured a ticket but reach out as they're looking to sell quickly.

They're sold out.

Demon Army sold out! Would be forever grateful to any AFL Reserve tickets sent my way.

The site says sold out now.

Wow I've triggered a lot of people here with my Grundy and Jordon talk. Anyway, here's to Billings and Fullarton!
