Everyone Calm Down!

Ok, I understand how frustrating this is. Melbourne has been a below average team for years now with the last few seasons being full of unfulfilled promises. Today was a big disappointment, but to show to everyone what a strong footy club we are, we need to pick ourselves up and continue to support our team. Because that's what supporters are for.

Brave man.

we'll all do that regardless, please don't think we won't.

This place is a place of venting with like minded passionate supporters.

A grain of salt is required.

Just started a thread saying the same thing. I'll be there next week, as I will nearly every week. And my support will always be positive.

I'd normally agree. But this feels different.

Richmond and WC bottomed out when we did and WC are touted as top 4 contenders.

Richmond are challenging top sides.

North didn't even bottom out and they are going goal for goal with the best side in the comp atm.

We bottomed out better than most and can't even beat the worst side in the league.

And after bottoming out, we look to of even gone backwards.


Snap reaction, perhaps, but what do you expect supporters to say?

Has there been a side in the competition so ordinary, for so long? And I mean ordinary.

Supporters have had enough and rightfully so.

Agree, so many poor decisions.

Ollie Wines?

I think we will all support our team, however we are all over these performances. We are only human, how long can we put up with sub par and frustrating performances. The Melbourne Footy Club and I are in a very bad and hurtful relationship, I love them but they keep letting me down and I always go back to them! LOL

No mate, listening to Carey describe our effort as insipid and putrid gives all members the right to show how strong we are and give this Club what it deserves.... a massive boot fair up the @rse


Demon jack I agree we as supporters need to support through thick and thin.

But today was nothing short of disgraceful.mi can accept losing but not in the manner they lost today. Did not fire a shot after half time.

The team was an embarrassment, a joke.

If the players don't care, how can we as supporters?

Give me a f#*king break!

Accepting the [censored] that was dished up today by our club is exactly what's wrong. It's not enough to be happy to go to the footy and see a team play - just ask South Melbourne and Fitzroy supporters.

We can and should demand more from the team. They are terrible, and asking them to be better has now become the responsibility of the supporters because we have a long term view of both the club and the league. If we want to be around we need to be competitive.

Today was a disgrace from a sponsorship and membership perspective and that's what allows us to exist.

Don't be afraid to demand more.

Pathetic effort today. So damn embarrassing. I should have stayed home and hunted for Easter eggs.



I can cop losing, but I can't put up with insipid, gutless dogs representing the club I love and would bleed every drop of blood to play one game.

I'm sick of going to a game and watching them not give a [censored].


Time to combine a couple of threads please moderators.

are for.[/quoPretty hard to when they so frickin' insipid, l've had enough and l don't give rats tossbag about pretending to be a strong club, 5-6 years of this crap is enough to make me want to give AFL away

Whilst it's true that Richmond and WC bottomed out - we bottomed out post Daniher, "re-built" under Bailey, and have gone back to the drawing board under Neeld. Enough is enough. Today was an embarrassment and the sooner performances like that one stop being tolerated or explained away the better.

Great call


Don't start me on Wines, him and Viney represent everything our side doesn't.

Meanwhile Toumpas was seen standing 10m away from contests with hands on his knees.

Ffs i know its his first game but if he isnt ready then dont play him.

No...

Your sentiment is nice, but our hostility is healthy..... frightening, but healthy.... don't stop the anger, let the players adjust to it & feel it & let them learn to cope with the fire.

We as supporters have been to meek for a combatant contact sport.... we can be 'meek' away from the game doing other things. other clubs supporters fireup when they go bad & so can we..

.... Wats needed si for the players to collectively stand up & have a go.

who cares about a few mistakes when we're getting smashed, as long as they are showing PLENTY of Heart.

.................. thats the starting point we have to see..... Heart & Ticker

Get off your damm high horse. All of us who support this club bleed red and blue, don't tell anyone to calm down after such rot served up. We are bloody hurting after this.

[censored] off

 

Just home. Agree with all vitriol above. There are no excuses for what I saw today. Imagine if we had come up against a top four side. 186 would be a highlight.

We are just plain rubbish.

Please lets not calm down. Heads need to roll after losing to an interstate side at the g by 80 points that last year noone wanted to coach and everyone thought were the ultimate basket case on field and off field. When Port lost to GWS and primus lost his job I laughed and said o well at least we'll never hit as rock bottom as port. We lost to them by 80 points today ffs. God this club makes me angry

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
