Warnock was awful though, but Morton worse. It has got to the stage where I would be genuinely suprised if he makes it to the level of even being a decent/good player. Anyone who tries to defend his kicking is in dreamland.

This is worse than 2008 or even 2009. We should be improving or at least showing signs of improvement.

We've got a game plan that is sh^t and even Tom Harley has said we are the only side in the AFL that play this way, we've got a coach that no one knows if he can coach after nearly 4 years at the helm (IMO is [censored] useless) and we've got players who still manage to miss kick or kick the footy out of bounds on a regular basis. These skills are the most [censored] basic skills in the AFL yet will still cant manage it.

All of us here love the Dees but we have the same conversations every week about how pathetic we are. The thing that really pisses me off apart from the above is that I am sick to death of having to watch this sh^t every week and hear the same excuses from the coaches.

Its time for the MFC to make a stand. Show some BALLs and FFS get rid of the coach and stick Viney in there as an interim measure while looking for a new head coach for next season. Viney will bring passion, hardness and accountablility back to the side. Its better than putting up with this sh^t.

Something needs to happen you can not put in those performances and expect supporters to BLINDLY follow without question. Last time I looked I wasnt a sheep.

Am I on my own here or is this the general feeling of others?

yep unfortunately yep... as members and supporters our wait has been way to long for the ultimate success I have seen the demons play in two grand finals in my lifetime and both times they got belted. we need a hard nut coach who wont take the bullcrap.

u wonder whether it's the system or the player. i reckon it's the system. nice articles today in the paper dean. you talk it up but there's no walk. it's a stumble.

I know things are bad but it is ridiculous to think that having Jamar, Scully, Trengrove, Grimes, Garland, Tapscott and even Bail (who was in best 22 on form) back in the team wouldn't help.

Still, don't know what it is with this club. Perpetual losers.

Could always be worse mate,just thank your deity you don't follow Footscray or St Kilda.At least we have some history,as old as it is,to hang our hats on.Mind you the hat stand is near worn out.

At least Warnock puts his body on the line and has a real crack. With him in the back line it frees Frawley up to a certain degree and (most of the time) makes our back line look better, more structured.

That mark he dropped in the first quarter that resulted in a Carlton goal was horrendous though. Deserved the bronx cheers when he took his next mark.

And kicked out on the full under little pressure that directly led to a goal seconds later. He is a trier, but ultimately isn't up to it.

Or it would have freed Frawley up, had he not been stuck on a player who he was never going to be able to run off. This deprived us of one of our few attacking weapons - Frawley's purposeful & intelligent runs out of defence - all night.

I know he has his faults but I still like him in the back line and when the midfield start to pressure the opp midfield then he shouldnt be under as much pressure.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
