And he’s not the worst !! Tagging role. Henderson. Spargo. Melksham. Casey next week!!! They offer NOTHING

The Age This should be posted on the walls of the Dees training ground They have no marks inside 50. It’s as though they come to training in whatever gear they want to wear and muck around."

Who’s the mascot wearing number 9? He’s like a kid running out. Looks slow already. And he’s starting ??? Ffs.

Have to win. Simply have to win. Go Dees

Already looking to the end of 2025 New coach … highly likely Retirements… Melksham, Tmcd, Billings Delist… McAdam, Kentfield, Spargo, Laurie, Hore, Sestan & maybe Woey jnr That 10 to replace. Dees need to identify young, hard working, athletic, skilled players.

Key forwards are hard to find. Never a truer statement for the Melbourne footy club. In recent memory, we have had Ben Brown before his knees crippled him, a glimpse of the talent from Jesse Hogan, and prior to that we had Neitz, Schwartz, Lyon and a cameo from Jakovich. But there have been some failures and unfortunate outcomes. Weideman. Dawes. Mitch Clark. Lucas Cook. James Cook. Liam Hulett. Jack Fitzpatrick. Whilst not a key forward, the brief but exciting Liam Jurrah gave us at least 2 years of joy. Cameron Pedersen tried his best. Mitch Brown offerred a plug in service. We have put our faith now in youngsters JVR and Jefferson. Both are yet to show the forward craft and ability but have raw talent to persist. Turner is a backman that we are trying to turn into a quasi forward. He’s not a key forward. Johnson is a crasher. Kentfield is a big battler. Petty is better as a key back. Currently it’s a mixed bag.

Umps love ❤️Collingwood Commentators love ❤️Collingwood Makes me sick 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Dees standards versus any of what we see from the cats,crows, pies or swans… we are so far behind in transition , pace, forward craft, defensive pressure, tackling efficiency… wow how we did get so far behind.

30c tomorrow and 21c overnight. Perfect for high marking forwards. But Goody always knows best !!!

Calm. I am calm.

Love Damo the sewer rat Barrett Here’s is his latest journalism contribution MELBOURNE IF ...the previous CEO announced his resignation last October ... THEN ...it's staggering the Demons are yet to find Gary Pert's replacement. Myriad issues, on and off field, at this club. Someone needs to properly plot a path through the problems.

Team changes … Goodwin explains his decision to Fullarton !’n

Need to give McVee and Throlstrup a run for Casey next weekend. Both should be ready to play. Not sure about Kentfield. I think he also will be available. Hopefully Casey also gets to add Spargo to the team next week.

22 Nathan Williamson. He’s a shocker. Always gives Dees a bad run. We can only hope this changes this weekend!!

the mystery continues

If we lose… Goodwin is to blame …

Win a premiership… in the window 2022 and 2023. Instead of being a destination club, we continue to lose players and go backwards in terms of recruiting any quality players from other clubs. Forget the salary cap excuse. Thats BS. Other clubs have done it consistently better than us in the last 3 years.

Pathetic from the selectors and Goodwin Virtually no changes at all Spargo - does nothing and still gets a game (negative 2 in SuperCoach) JVR - needs to go back and get confidence Melksham needs a game at Casey Ins Lindsay, Fullarton, and either Kynan Brown-or-jnr Woey Why is Turner dropped ? Our forward line is a mosquito fleet !!! wtf. IS GOODWIN HELL BENT ON DESTRUCTION OF OUR TEAM???

Nailed it. Goody talks about learnings and connection into forward 50. He’s been talking about focusing on an improvement needed for 3+ years. So what’s been done ? Nil. Poor strategy. Poorer coaching. Other clubs rarely mention it. Hardly surprising. The Dees are the masters of finding ways to turnover the footy. That last kick or that last poor handball or that fumbles and slip over. We astonish ourselves with ways to give up the footy and then have to defend as the opposition rebounds. Forward pressure is seemingly now also non existent. Forward tackles are now at an all time low. That is a definite disappointment.

The eminently sensible Phil Davis Thoughts on the Christian Petracca and his emotional reaction after the Dees loss. Davis says It’s a non event … move on the constant media show pick up this and running different agendas on what Trac is thinking and what it means without really knowing and thinking the worst Trac clearly wants the club to be better Footy is an emotional game so what’s the issue. He’s clearly disappointed Davis says the most important things is for Gawn and Dees teammates is to check on Trac and ask “ Are you ok”. Davis is an intelligent commentator who thinks then talks and has interesting non sensationalist insights. 👏👏👏👏😊

12 players are already under academy programs , out of 28 youngsters. This year will be another big lift for the northern teams Swans, Suns, Lions & Giants. They need to be gifted some of the very best elite youngsters… don’t they? Ffs.
