I knew we were f@#ked before the first bounce. The Melbourne players all huddled together - all except for the bench. This only happens at melbourne where the camaraderie is clearly missing!

.Mitch clark - the guy hasn't played for 9 months and kicks the first 2 goals, did any get around him? NO!

.Jack Viney - first game, ripper goal does anyone get around him? NO!

.there is no encouragement, anyone who has played football understands how important camaraderie is! they have to get around each other, just show us that they frequin care!

. We (supporters) need a culture change as well. 200 power supporters out voiced us before the game and for me that set the tone for the rest of the day.Our entire club is weak and insipid!

Your last point about the Power supporters is so true, I was thinking that at the start of the match, in fact I said to my mate how terrible it is that the Melbourne cheer squad is not even firing up when I was sitting on the opposite side of the ground to the Power cheer squad and I could hear them clearly! All your points are true as, there is something very wrong at our club...

Mclardy might be a good man - but he is not a leader of young men. We need a president who represents what the club represents.

Dont blame McLardy for this debacle. The results sits fairly on the FD and the players.

I dont agree with you after Mitch kicked his goal everyone in the forward line ran up to him and the same with Jack Viney.

We still have no leaders , Rodan and Byrnes second stringers who are way past it.

Gillies not AFL grade

I lost my passion for the game today.

We all have to get a life.

This is a club of duds.

There is no doubt about it, we are tetering right on the brink of extinction. We have been in trouble for a good decade at least, and today was a giant step back we didn't need. Makes me sick to my stomach that my poor old man is going to be alive to see 150+ years of history go down the gurgler in a sea of ignonimy. It completely blows my mind that generation after generation we cannot get the staff, coaches or players to reverse the trends, there is just a stench of failure attached to us and that is that. I suppose the question is now, will they live on in some other form, and will we support that form? Or have to start again with another club? Or give up the ghost altogether. How incredibly depressing.

I'm sick of having the pity of my mates and family who all support other teams and having absolutely no comeback for it. I don't feel like I've got anything to rest a hope on or get excited about. Jack viney is going to be good but one player does not a team make. Who knows what's going to happen this season, all sights point to another spoon and a possible coach sacking.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
