Facebook has already started a group, or you have already started a group on Facebook? :) :) I'll join

I was about to, but nope, someone else started it. I'm posting in there though.

Ill get howled down for this but the only way we can show our disgust is a mass protest next week. That protest being not turning up to the game next week. Why would we want to watch that rubbish anyway.

do the protesting during the week, it will get fixed sooner.

I think the comments at half time really explain where Bailey is at. "We still have 60 minutes of football". Apart from about 5 minutes late in the second quarter, they have been smashed. They have no gameplan. They have no heart. They have no respect for Bailey. It is all well and good being a "teacher" of men. And being positive. How about you go and tell the players some home truths. How is Cale Morton getting a game? Unless Jamie Bennell has photos of Bailey in a compromising position, how is he getting a game? For Melbourne to get beaten by about 10 goals by West Coast is unacceptable. I get don't throw the baby out with the bath water, but Bailey can't coach. Fact. Why take a player who kicks 60 odd goals from half forward and put him in the midfield? Why is Petterd not playing? I would rather habe Bate even, than Dunn. Players should be earning their spot on a week to week basis, not on reputation. Davey = most overrated player in the comp. Bailey = Dead Man Walking

Lol at the Bennell comment.

I'm done. I can't back him any more.

After poor old Moloney got paraded in front of the media and had to apologize to every man and his dog for having a few drinks (as well as stand down from the leadership group), what should Bailey have to do this week? I will find it supremely hypocritical if he has another week of "doing nothing" and does not change something, speak out, take blame... anything!

If we treat a deputy leader the way we did Beamer, how should the head leader of football performance be treated this week?

Come on Melbourne, show some emotion for a change.

Negatives

No Fire

No Passion

No Pride

No Gameplan that works

No leadership

No forwards

No midfield

No Bloody Idea

NO Coach at least not one that can bring out allof the above from our players

Positives

Baring a Miracle this season is shot

End of year Baileys Gone and no pay out required

Blood asmany young players we can for the rest of the year

And Pray and I do mean Pray, we can land a half decent coach at Seasons end.

Most here make excuses for the coach and team

Well time for excuses are over always remember this game no matter what, happens in the future and lock it in as the day hopefully most supporters wake up to the fact Melbourne is still along long way away from playing finals football

I have supported the Melbourne Football Club since forever and always will,however the heartache remains that the only Grand Final I have ever seen Melbourne win was a Pre season Cup.

Ive shared the highs and the lows unfortunately more lows than highs

Can we turn it around ? One can only hope.

I just pray I am still around to see it happen

Maybe if Bailey was drunk he might be a better coach.

This thread is a classic. Although it needs more shouting and CAPS LOCKS !!1!!1!1!11

It's a long season kids. At this rate you'll be in hospital by the mid season break.

Do you think opposition coaches chuckle at the prospect of playing us and working out our "game plan"?

I think they chuckle at the prospect of us, working out our game plan....

Yeh Jimmy the great man deserves so much better than this after what hes done. Imagine if every one of our 22 that ran out tonight showed some of his spirit and determination through our performance.

You're a cheer leader of anything red and blue, so come on Bob, cheer everyone up.

Maybe you can deliver the obvious on a couple of issues.

I hate reactionary garbage on Demonland but this game has really just done it for me.

There are no valid excuses for losing a game mentally, physically and statistically in the first 5 minutes of a match, against last year's wooden spooners no less.

B =Barely any semblance of passion or determination.

A =awful skills by foot and hand.

I =ill conceived game plan......if at all!

L =loss of personal respect throughout whole team.

E =essentially devoid of dedication and effort.

Y =yes, we are all enormously angry and embarrassed.

Do the honorable thing and walk!

Jimmy, it's time to make a strong statement, big fella.

You guys are carrying on like Richmond supporters. Setting up a facebook group is very tacky and lacks class. His kids will probably see that. Have a valium and go to bed. We'll win next week.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
