High performance organisations dont accept 1 season of poor performance, let alone two in a row. Strong organisations make tough calls to ensure the future can be a successful one, this clearly isn’t working, on all levels we’re declining. I’ve read all the Pros and Cons on this thread, what I struggle to understand is the pro to keep Goodwin for 2026, no team jumps from 13/14 to win the flag, even if he made finals, its unlikely we’d extend his contract, it makes zero sense to go into 2026 with Simon as coach, he’ll be sacked by mid year and we have completely wasted another trade period, draft, preseason and season. Great organisations know exactly where their list is, what the future holds and makes move to improve for the future,I think we’ll be spineless and completely wasted another trade 2026.

That’s poor coaching though, you need to work with what you have, he’s been here 9 years….. let me say that again 9 years, we haven’t been able to score under Goodwin for a long time, 2018, 2021, apart from that we have always been a terrible scoring team, good on D but so unreliable infront of goal. Either we get a senior assistant in to run the midfield / forward connection or we move Goodwin on, this CANNOT go on in 2026, I [censored] hate watching my football team play…..

I think after 9 years the players have had enough of the manager, it happens to even the best coaches, who hasn’t had a long term manager, who has thought, I am sick and tired of listening to the [censored] clown. Goodwin has always had his favourites, he’s played guys when they are out of form, rushes them back from injury, that’s why all our depth has left since the flag, they weren’t getting a fair crack at senior footy. The message and game plan is old news, a new voice is needed, that was evident last year, this year has just confirmed it for the Goody defendants. We need to make a move and make it this year otherwise we’re in a deeper hole when Max, May and Melky don’t have the motivation to go around again, Pendles and Sidebottom were written off as too old before Fly was employed. Dare to dream and take a chance MFC, we’re only 3 spots off 18, it can’t get much worse, but it could get a hell of a lot better….

It appears the club is steadfast on continuing with Simon, I do believe it is time for Mr Nice Guy Goodwin to put the blowtorch on some of the over paid senior players, he calls friends, at years end, there needs to be some list changes to help him: Players to be offered up for trade: pole position- J.Lever (injury prone and so out of form) C.Oliver (just get what you can and get him off the books) C.Salam B.Fritsch (I don’t think a single team mate would miss his selfishness) C.Spargo Coaches changes: employ a senior assistant to help from the box if he stays on the ground A strategy coach to teach forward defense and teach our forwards to lead back to the ball for easy marks A strategy coach for ball movement into the F50 Choco messaging early has been lost for the past 4/5 years, a fresh voice is required Bring in an experienced director of football to challenge Simon and the assistants, Richo hasn’t done enough over the past 4 years I had to turn the TV off after 1/2 time, were so unenjoyable to watch, we miss easy kicks, fumble and continue to kick behinds

Still no Viney…… sheesh

Considering he came on in the third quarter, and hand his hands on his knees at the end of the 3rd, appears his fitness isn’t quite there and they’ll build him up. Sounds like we’re protecting a young asset and working on his fitness / development

Was scary how easy they could transition out of our backline with ease. Cracking effort, they will be one of the teams to beat this year.

Yeah he’s a concern, gives up a lot defensively with his height / pace.

QLD AFL are claiming that more kids in QLD are playing AFL then NRL these days.

Yeah I’m sure they did, that’s what you usually do after a wedding reception, sit down and discuss work….

Was brutally honest In the survey

Highly intelligent young man, a great deep thinker, understands culture and football, loves the Melbourne football club. I vote #1 Angus Brayshaw for president of the MFC

The pies targeted Ed Langdon because he said they were “all duck no dinner”. Petracca shook Maynard’s hand and tapped him on the bum after knocking Brayshaw out and he was medically retired. Taking off my red and blue coloured glasses, that was the weakest, most spineless response by a professional team I can remember. If Tom McDonald knocked out Pendles, he would have been hit all game. if you continue to stand for nothing, you become nothing. 2021 with “selfless” the next three years was selfish.

Nibbler…..
