Our forward line wasn't so hot when Chaplin was in charge of it previously. I don't understand that thought process whereby you take someone who is good elsewhere to fix something somewhere else, rather than just going out there and getting the best freakin' guy you can find to fill the role you need filling. This is the kind of shit that Collingwood, Geelong and Hawthorn don't do. They just try and get the best in the business.

We also had a very aggressive gameplan. I didn't think leading patterns, I50 efficiency, etc., were much chop.

Digging into the why
We still played a forward half game that tried to lock the ball in the forwardline and score off repeat entries so yeah i50 efficiency goes down from that style of play. The difference was that we were happy to give up more on defense so we had extra numbers in attack when we won it.
Like all assistants it's very hard to say how good Chaplin is.
Clearly not happening so I suggest maybe following the Storm in 2025 then checking in end of next season.

I think we look back on that era with rose tinted glasses compared to the scoring of this era. Yeah mostly it was better. But we still had some awful scores in losses and forward entry issues
Looking through 2018
Round 4 Loss against Hawthorn 6.12 48
Round 5 Loss against Richmond 8.8 56
Then we go on a roll
even though we did eventually get reflection for it on the scoreboard Round 8 Vs Gold Coast we registered 83 Inside 50s, a lot of which if i remember the game at the time, we're very ordinary
Round 14 loss against port was close but wasted chances
We Recover for a while
Round 21 Vs Sydney we only lose it by 9 points. but at half time we were 3.12 to their 7.2
First Final is nerves with 10.15
Then the utter falling apart of all lines in the prelim
That's just 2018 anyways
I can think of being really wasteful against geelong in 2017
Grinding out a disgusting victory against the suns in 2016 with Lynch missing after the siren
gross losses against Sydney throughout that era
off the top of my head
I do also think the rule changes made us rethink how we played. We used to push our defenders up a bit. Or even that Diamond defence shit. I think we also at one point had our wingers and maybe even a forward once coming in off the back of the square

I thought our F50 worked quite well with him in charge of it.

I'm mostly here with you. I don't care if he previously did the job or not, it just seems stupid to take away from our biggest strength to try and plug our biggest weakness. Keep Chaplin with the backs to maintain that strength and get someone in who knows about forward craft etc to coach the forwards.
Ultimately what does it matter? Who honestly thinks Goodwin will turn it all around anyway? Most on here want us to fail so shouldn't everyone be happy with a change that will most likely fall flat? Maybe Bassett is more comfortable coaching the backline and the club didn't want to let Chaplin go. It's not like Chaplin isn't available to help with the backline anyway. The midfield is the one area that probably needs to most work. If we can't get that right then it won't matter who's coaching the F50.

You are right, it doesn't matter as long as Goody is coach. But what else are we going to talk about right now?
It's kinda ironic the same slit my wrists squad are sooking it up about the changes or the review, are the same ones wanting Goodwin out. If these changes are so bad and the review not to their liking, then won't the club fail again next season? Which means Goodwin will be gone?
I don't see the problem in having expectations of finals in 2025. For one, it puts heat on Goodwin. Secondly, what's the point of finishing low as we gave our pick to Essendon. So can't even get a high draft pick. The higher we finish the better it is for the club. Most of the slit my wrists squad are GWS supporters anyway lol
they hid this away late on a Thursday evening - https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news...ent-melbourne-football-club-and-glen-bartlett
I wonder much cash they stumped up for Glen.

As soon as Roffey and Pert go it gets sorted, go figure. Just shows what a clown show we have been. Wasted money going thru the courts with this shit and the Peter Lawrence stuff for years.

Tbh it's a reasonable question over an insanely stupid and unenforceable policy.

JOINT STATEMENT – AFL, GLEN BARTLETT AND VICTORIA LASPAS
The AFL and Mr Glen Bartlett and Ms Victoria Laspas, are pleased to announce today that following mediation, defamation proceedings launched by Mr Bartlett against the AFL have been withdrawn and resolved to the satisfaction of all parties
www.afl.com.au
Also how funny is Bartlett wanting his achievements (which are just a cringe "leadership exercise" output) announced in the release - "development of the Club values, now known as “TRUE”, of Trust, Respect, Unity and Excellence which are reflective of values based leadership"
Reminds me of the raving ethos PLUR - Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. Would love to see big Bartlett off his chops on pingers spreading the TRUE PLUR

Brad Green just getting s* done. Wtf was Roffey doing? Nothing.
Have liked Green in the role.
Chaplin as forward coach I like to, I used to hang shit on him but he made our backline the best in the league.
Nathan Jones is a desperate as **** recruit though, watch us get ripped in stoppages next season.

Lol we got cut from opening round, sucked in for being boring as ****. Club deserves it

We could have also requested not to do it again, Carlton made it clear they didn't want to do it again
But i'm more in line to agree that i think we put our hand up again and just got cut altogether. If we did just ask not to do it we didn't make that very publicly clear
Anyways i'd also agree that we deserved to be cut by playing shit football, but also internally opening round is shit and i'm glad we got dumped from it anyway. It's a win win for me
