I don't think the media will bother sinking the boot into us any more.Whats the point????everyone knows we are a joke. We are completely irrelevant and even GWS and GCS wouldn't fear us anymore.we don't even deserve to be talked about in any capacity

Exactly - I hope we cop it from all angles this week but I doubt it will happen. No one really cares enough about us anymore to waste time commenting. You want to know what it means to be irrelevant, listen to the defeaning silence this week.

    Ripped apart on 360 tonight, rightly so. Whateley described it as "diabolical", with the scorn being leveled at the club to possibly increase if the team beats Essendon, because it would mean they need something like this to get motivated.

    Robbo said Neeld had a month to save his job. Whateley disputed that, saying the coach shouldn't be first to go and the blame should be levelled at the CEO for the state Melbourne is in. Questioned his leadership and labelled him "the invisible CEO".

    On Footy Classified...

    Garry Lyon singled out one of Viney's efforts, said that is what required and only 2 or 3 MFC players put in on Sunday.

    Lloyd showing some absolutely damning vision of open players and the very poor setup by Neeld. Can't understand why players are standing around "guarding grass". Also said we were "unorganized from a coaching perspective".

    Garry talking about the process of selecting Neeld. Caro trying to bring up tanking and culture (of course).

    Hutchy talking about the new mature recruits, Lloyd says "a lot of us are scratching our heads about how Melbourne can get better" in relation to "other teams rejects getting a game with us in round 1".

    Caro: "they weren't doing as badly under Bailey than they are now...."

    Lloyd (on our failed high draft picks): "some of them would have made it at other clubs"

    Karl Langdon was saying similar tonight that if Jack Watts was at another club he'd be a better player. Brad Hardie piped in with if we were looking at it now Watts would be a pick in the 30's but in fairness to Melbourne his info was if the Eagles had the first pick that year they also would have taken Watts, it was only later on they settled on Natanui

    They're on about the Scott v Bucks stuff now, all I can think is, I wish we had passion like that from our coach.

    Chris Scott pretty much addressed Garry while talking about not panicking after one game.

    Garry just highlighted a great effort from Nick Riewoldt in chasing a GC midfielder from one end of the ground to the other, you could feel his eyes burning into the MFC players as he showed it... Has been making a point all show of talking about working hard.

    Stuie's talking to himself again :)

    Sorry mate, I'll try and talk more about Caro's hair so you can contribute something.

    We deserve to get completely ****ed on for the next week, hopefully the players may open their eyes for the upcoming rounds.

    I hope that every player hears what the media says about them. They need to hear it

    Hence this thread.

    The fire needs to keep burning.

    Does the fact that we weren't the arrow, and obviously didn't warrant it in Caro's eyes at least, speak to the overarching theme in some threads of increasing irrelevance in the competition??

    Possibly, but it could be more about her need to constantly try and bring those running the AFL down.

    Well Caro needs to sell papers tomorrow and if that means picking a fight with someone so be it. No point picking a fight with someone (MFC) who is nice, polite and probably won't get too offended by it.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
