The media barrage to come ...

Does Anyone really think the press will have a field day with us? We are completely irrelevant in this league. No one else in the league cares about us and with what the club serves up week after week the supporters care less and less. The less said about us the better.

Not really true. Watched Fox Footy for about half an hour this evening, and Gerard Healy said Melbourne would be the biggest story on tomorrow's episode of On The Couch, and then even After The Bounce, which is absolute mindless drivel, they managed to have a serious discussion at the very top of the show about how bad we were.

And I bet Rooooosy and those two "MFC supporters" bring up the "tanking" issue as reason why we are so bad.

Good to see Progressive Australia seeping its way into football culture.."BLAME THE MEDIA!"

Any media scrutiny is completely justified and anticipated. They were embarrassingly hammered.

...and it has to be a consideration. I know the board want to put it behind them but the results don't stack up, I've had enough of this as I'm sure everyone has.

The people behind the rebuild need to go, the Bailey era was a fail and they are not stacking up to well with this one. The fish rots from the head.

We deserve what we get.

I was at the game as a paid up MFC/MCC Member.

I want answers not spin. This club is in deep sh!t

WYL i also was in the members watching this debacle

Most around me left the MCC in some sort of altered state I heard boos in the background but hatht i heard was a resigned sigh of acceptance that this once great club is on the road to nowhere I cannot understand what is happening and why The team is passionless and exhibit very poor discipline Very very hard to watch


Wow. Just wow. These quotes are extremely disappointing:

"We didn't see that coming," Neeld said after the game.

"Our execution was poor and Port Adelaide was able to captialise significantly on that. Once that happened it was clear to everyone at the ground that our confidence dropped unbelievably."

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-03-31/dissapointing-dees-downed-by-port

Yet Neeld did close to nothing to counter.

To paraphrase JFK, post Dealey Plaza, "I didn't see that coming either".

I am GOBSMACKED by that. He's an 18 year old FFS!!! What the hell is going on?

I realise that it's hard at the moment, but a) we don't know what happened in the rooms, and b) we don't know the context for what happened. Even on the info available, it's clear that Jack wasn't the only player to speak, and if they were in there for 30 minutes it obviously went a bit further than "OK boys, bad day today, but here's the planning for next week".

 

The slow death is what O.D, and others like myself have been worried about for a long time.

It is our history that is killing us.

Carlton are waiting and we can not even fight.

Are you going to Fight you soft spineless BASTARDS????

Wrong thread WYL, think you've had too many whiskeys to try and forget the game... This isn't the "slow death" thread, although, granted, all of the threads today are in a way...

I don't see how we won't be relocated, absorbed or just cease to be.....oblivion awaits it seems.

Calm down buddy, wasn't having a go at you FFS.

Relocated - Somwe. An be just as pathetic as the Hobart Demons?

Absorbed - There isn't much worth absorbing.

Cease to exist - ...


I hope Caro has the humanity to hide those horrible fangs when she's gloating over our mangled corpse on Tuesday night.

Our "embarrassing drubbing" was the first story in the sports segment of the Sydney based morning 9 news, they normally talk about every NRL story they can think of before mentioning AFL.

Well ... at least Healy won't be able to wheel in Brock McLean fresh from kicking the winning goal against Richmond this time as a precursor to sticking the boots into his former club.

The Club deserves every piece of scrutiny and derision we get from all media outlets right now WJ

From the top down we just do not learn or worse believe we can be winners where it counts.


I've been looking out for it, but has anyone seen our post match press conference?

I know it will be more of the excuses we heard all season last year, but I want to hear from Neeldy's mouth on what he thought of the day and whether he takes any responsibility for it.

They just hammered us on the pre-game on Channel 7 as well.

 

Cheers, Stuie.

I have to say watching it made me more angry.

It was good they looked down about the flogging but where is the fight? C'mon FFS fellas show some balls, by saying something like "we're going to make it up to our supporters by not dishing up this crap again. Look out Essendon Saturday night, you'll be coping our wrath"

I'm am seriously concerned.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
