The midfield has been a hugh problem all year one paced lack of skills so what to we do same same again.

I appreciate people's willingness to put pen to paper so to speak, all it needs is Gameplan can be worked on but the following is more important. Pace into the midfield Ball skills by hand and foot Decision making Forward craft education and execution If we can fix these areas up, along with some recruiting, it will be a far better and enjoyable year.

It looked to me he was trying too hard to lead the way, and sometimes the harder you try, the results don't go your way because you are rushing. He will be fine.

You can add Salem and Oliver to the list.

I hope that whoever we get in is able to worth with him and I would send him back to being the defensive line coach. I wonder if his immediate refusal is more to do with him knowing the direction the board want to go down and he's basically saying "I'm not going to waste my Chaplin has been there to long toome to go.

Jesus, one day a coach will let players actually be allowed to think instead of handballing to players in a worse position. They are so robotic in their actions, they don't even look to see the dangers of it or if there are better options.

And if they do then that's a backhander to supporters they get paid enough to do what they are employed to do.

People should have a listen to Max not doom and gloom. https://play.listnr.com/podcast/mmm-breakfast-melbourne/episode/max-gawn-talks-simon-goodwin-axing-club-direction-playing-groups-reaction

And which players are they?

I’m disappointed because I think we’re a hell of a lot closer to turning our club and team back into a contender again than what people think, So there's that. Then he was delusional about the midfield and forward line the players skill level by hand and foot and decision making one could see the game change in 22 onwards even he admitted problems with connection with the forward line and what changed how have players been educated on forward craft not one has stood out, this fell on him, now I'm happy that he guided us to a premiership with the gameplan that worked for us. Still, if you you cannot evolve as the game changes then you fall behind now I didn't see the sacking until or maybe at the end of the year if at all but it's done and now we move on.

Richardson would have heard the “noise” that major change was coming . It will come out in time because leaks always happen at Melbourne but if this is the case this reeks of Dean Bailey / Cameron Schwab ie we got the wrong man. Watch this space Gee, I remember the same club when the players ruled the roost. It took Peter Jackson and Roos to sort that out, whether you like it or not, it's a business. Players are employees, and they will be coached by a new person, and they will adapt or move on or get moved on. That's football.

They gave Goodwin chance he just didn't move away from 21 football the game did and it showed.

Wonder where he has heard that before....

Not against Longmire more than Hinkley or Simpson
