WOW after today it really feels like the progress we had thought we had made has been undone.... Will a flogging like this be the catalyst for the change we need? I hope so.

The only glimmer of hope is that some of the young brigade seem like the most determined and tough.

1....2........3!

We won't be rock bottom until one of our players gets caught placing a be against us for the GC V dees game. Then, and truly then we can sink no further.

Bails is lucky Jimmy didnt do a Joe Gutnick and announce at half time to the media that Todd Viney would be caretaker coach for the rest of the season! The morale of members and sponsors is on the line !

Or we could show some spine and beat Carlton next week.... knowing mfc its possible... the ultimate rollercoaster!!!

This part of the roller coaster is on a big down hill run... Don't expect too much next week other than Robinson getting a smack in the head (fingers crossed).

I thought of that today....Tomorrow's papers will be very interesting.....

The papers will probably just do what the electronic media did tonight - let Bailey off the hook yet again - he comes across as such a nice guy and who can attack a nice guy, regardless of woeful performances!

Anyone watching Sainters and GC.

GC have such poise and structure for a first year club. They have a real game plan tonight. Hope they beat the sainter's and take some pressure off us (or maybe I don't, not sure).

ROck bottom. It is always darkest before the Dawn. I really hope this is the bottom, and that the playing group and coaching staff begin the process of brining us back to sunshine. Interested in how the club responds to this, in the press, toward the members and internally.

Never before have we had such a pathetic on field result to catalyse either advancement or change.

That is the whole bloody problem at The MFC.

We need to take a page out of the Bombers and Blues book.

Not good enough then get out of the road we will find someone who is.

For god sake it is as plain as the nose on your face.

The evidence has been there all year.

The rebuild has been a failure.

It is time to be brutal.

Nice guys get beaten by 30 goals.

Pricks play in Grand finals.

Make no mistake posters - this is a defining moment in MFC's history - in today's world no-one just laughs off results like we had at Geelong!

If they beat the saints it will make us look even sillier

first year team beats last years grand finalist

And the oldest team in the competition gets belted by 30 goals.

Well said old dee - exactly my point - MFC needs to develop a mongrel approach!

I remember the '64 flag. I am 58 years of age. I seriously doubt I will live (or remain sane) long enough to see another.

The sad thing is I'm 30 I haven't even seen one and it's unlikely I ever will because today I witnessed the

club I support die.

Not really sure how a sainter's loss to GC would make us look sillier?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

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’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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
