The last month of football for MFC has not been good.

Coming away with no victories and rather having 4 beltings has lead to wide abuse of the club and i keep hearing from opposition, friends and even supporters here that we are rubbish and miles away from being decent.

I honestly dont think the reality is as bad as everyone is making out. Yes we have lost a few but that reality with a developing list against some good teams.

For this reason iv had a look back at this years performances of all teams against the 4 teams we have played in WC, Geel, Hawth, Carlt.

These are the results:

Melb - 0 wins 7 loses

Coll - 4 wins 1 loss

Ess - 2 wins 1 draw 2 losses

Syd - 1 win 4 losses

Adel - 1 win 4 losses

Rich - 0 win 5 losses

Stk - 1 win 4 losses

Free - 0 win 6 losses

North Melb - 0 win 4 losses

Brisb - 0 win 3 losses

West Bull - 1 win 4 losses

Port - 0 win 6 losses

Gold Coast - 0 win 5 losses

Youl see that gold coast, melbourne, brisbane, port, north, freo, richmond (also carlton) have all gone winless against these teams.

Sydney, adel, saints and dogs all had 1 win.

Also over the past month no team has beaten these four in form teams

Obviously we have been well beaten rather than competitive but based on results, half the teams in the afl would have had a similar month (possibly even more accounting for those with 1 win four losses) if coupled with the inevitable loss of confidence that such a month would bring.

Just an observation, doesnt really count for so much but i dont think we are as far behind as everyone seems to think and lets hope to break the streak come Sunday.

C'mon really... There's optimism then there's psychosis

Feel free to continually beat on a bunch of kids who lost 4 games in a row to 4 of the top 5 teams

4 teams who have been unbeaten for the past month no matter who they played.

4 teams that have been beaten 10 times all year (other than by each other) and 4 of those were Collingwood.

Cheer up a bit

C'mon really... There's denial then there's psychosis

when will the denial and acceptance of mediocrity end

Your expectations are so low it's disturbing

We're beyond bad we are abhorrent on every level except for 3

Watts, Trengove and McKenzie

I take it you are saying we are terrible except these 3?

Do we take into account players who haven't been in best form but have shown in the past they can match it with the best. Those players were key last year and if they recaptured their form the team really would be quite competitive. So if we are up and going no we are not that bad.

Those players are: Frawley, Jamar, Davey, Grimes, Green, Sylvia.

Of those Green looks done and Sylvia may go. But the others still will bounce back and have plenty to give. You dont win AA for no reason.

Also think you are harsh on Tapscott in what has been his first real year of senior footy after injury.

Yes we are that bad as a team right now...The results do the talking.

Will the team improve?? I sure hope so with a lot of hard work.

That is the reality.

We may have improved in certain areas from last year, but the AFL competition has improved further.

As of now, we are that bad.

You got it!

The results are on the board.

Imagine if we go down tomorrow!

It is not the loss but the size of them.

Those stats do tend to debunk the theory about us having such a great fixture. We have played seven games against the top five which is more than anybody else to date this season. Imagine if the number was three or four as it is with some of the others. True, they've been been bad losses but we've been under pressure.

Incidentally, Carlton hasn't beaten any of the other top five teams either. Their record is 0-5.

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w
