Grumpy as all hell, but I think today showed that you can't simply show up and expect to win. Considering our run and future this may not be a bad lesson.

    Pretty much sums it up

    I'm actually disappointed in any player (if true) who had the audacity to think that.....

    We may have a bright future, but we haven't earned the right to complacency.

    We struggle against teams who shut down the corridor and who play some sort of zone.

    We MUST work out a way around this strategy - or better, a way to maintain our gameplan in the face of this strategy.

    We don't want to become like Essendon.

    Did I blink and miss is actually try and play the corridor.

    The game today was lost when we came out onto the ground 3 minutes before the bounce.

    The game was lost when Baily did not change a single thing in our set up after half time. Where was the change in forward structure? Sylvia into the middle. Where did he try anything?

    It was a very poor day all round.

    If we are going to earn some respect back from other clubs, we cannot afford to drop games against inferior opposition. WCE are inferior, especially on the road.

    There are many lessons that will be taught to this list, let us hope that they do learn from this and move forward.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
