Improvement is relative when you look at the trash we dished up in the back half of 2024 And it was a win against 16th who had two key players out. Hardly a sign we’re ready to storm the top four in 2026

At the peak of ANBs development phase I remember someone tweeting ‘If near-the-ball was a stat ANB would be Patrick Cripps’ 😂😂😂

Sitting there today at half time and they’d thoroughly given me the 💩 I had the thought that maybe we all - players, coaches, supporters - were so focused on that one premiership that we got comfortable/complacent. It was a good result today however I’m depressed at the thought of sitting through 2026 watching exactly what we saw in today’s first half. Which is what happens if Goodwin is there in 2026. However much I appreciate and respect Goodwin for 2021 the moment has passed and he’s not the future.

Sorry what was that parade of players wives and kids? Here is the fruit of our club loins? It’s very old fashioned

in our game against GC they stopped, we just weren’t good enough to catch up.

Yikes, the 7 AFL wardrobe department must like Dane Zorko as much as I do 😂

If any of the Lever reports were true do we really think other clubs would seriously be interested? Setting aside his form, his physical condition alone would most clubs say no thanks. From a trade bait perspective i personally think it’s Petracca and Fritsch who have currency

Anyone dreading next week when Carlton break their losing run?

I can’t argue, could totally see it happening

Looking at this from a different perspective - If you’re a club who may be interested in Trac or Oliver, who’s the more attractive proposition? A former Norm Smith winner recovering from a horrible injury, or a former gun midfielder who made his own downfall? Trac is a far safer option and is going to have more trade currency than Claz. That might be the decisive factor in which of them stays or goes

FFS you must be fun at parties. I used the word miracle in the sense that for us long term supporters who’d gone years without success, it was miraculous.

One can only hope Goodwin worked a miracle and won us a premiership but his time has passed. If we don’t make a move soon 2026 will be a write off

Sorry I’m so late to this conversation but I’ve heard nothing about the players asking to reduce their contact hours. Have I been that distracted by how bad we are that I missed it? When did that happen

Conflicted, really wanted to hear from all those North champions but could’ve done without roaming Brian

Hold on, I like McVee, no need to insult him with the description ‘a Nick Maxwell type’ 😂😂😂

This question has broken my brain. There’s not much to choose from. Bowey is a possible vice captain but I’m struggling to think of anyone with captain potential.

Personally I think that particular headline is a reflection of the frenetic clickbait nature of all AFL journalism. Every discussion is turned up to 11, every tiny incident is scrutinised & magnified. They all trade in hyperbole and drama. I don’t think they target MFC specifically but as we’re going badly we’re giving them plenty of cheap touches regarding any MRO type incidents the media, in particular the commentators, seem to want to be judge and jury. Today [censored] Dwayne had Viney cited and suspended despite the umpire calling play on (though in this case Jackie might be in trouble😂). Same applies to the McVee bump against Port, they were talking like he was suspended before the game had even finished

The worrying thing is with a new President and new CEO due to take over will they take the risk of getting rid of Goodwin? If we don’t we’re consigning 2026 to the bin

The problem is the way we play we’ll never know if Jefferson is up to it or not. Our forward line is like the Mt Everest death zone for young forwards

It’s embarrassing that we are so bad spuds like Ben Dixon can sit in commentary and laugh at us

It is embarrassing that we’re so bad a complete non-entity in Ben Dixon thinks he can sit in commentary and put [censored] in us. And we deserve it

Same here, as much as I enjoy seeing Carlton failing I loved him as a player, it’s a shame to see his coaching tenure go this way.

It’s now at the point that if we don’t move Goodwin on we’ll spend 2026 stagnating. And given the new CEO/new President combo I fear they’ll be cautious and retain Goodwin.

Are you feeling ok? 😂 Carlton and their supporters are one of the biggest pack of [censored] going round and they deserve nothing

Do we think any of our players are listening to Logan Morris say he’s spent a lot of additional time working on his goal kicking. What a novel idea
