Not sure Eade or Chocco would want to coach Melbourne after this disaster, let alone Roos. Why would they want to seriously damage their reputation.

The Demons players need to be given the rest of the year off........ I almost shat my pancreas out from shear rage at the lack of [censored] effort.... There were only a couple of players that deserve half their paycheck the rest should be given a new contract like the lawyers advertise on the tv.... No win, No Fee! Now comrades let us all rejoice in hearing the communist inspired club song!

Thats a bit harsh, Just wait till poor Col Sylvia gets a full pre-season. He'll be a gun one day that boy.

Peter Jackson for playing captain-coach????

Gotta hand it to Nate Jones, consistently performs each week without support. The guy is an A grader, no doubt. As for the calls for him to be captain, I'm not so sure. He is a genuine leader though as will be good for the younger ones coming thru.

Watts has skills in spades but lacks effort and heart. He has massive trade value and I think it's best for both parties to split.

I'm glad we lost. A win would make us dangerously close to the Saints with the same amount of wins, and we deserve pick 2. For all those who will come back with wins is what the need to change the culture, do you seriously believe a win against GWS will change any thing?

Yes the lose hurts (a lot), but for me, the lose to North by 120 points hurt more and contributed to today's lose.

For my own sanity I think I need to check out of this season officially. I've been to every game and watched every interstate game ..... Today killed me ! Absolute disgust

Fact, I'm not renewing next year until this entire place is cleaned out ! Playing list included, I don't care who goes because us supporters include have no idea what good is ! There's probly 10 players you'd keep.

We supporters need to send this message to the club !!!!!!

Its pretty simple. You have to look at the blokes who do nothing in losses like this, Go back through the season, check the stats. The ones that don't put in the effort are easily sorted.

Then f*** em off. They are killing my club. Gte players in who will run, chase harass tackle and can hit the side of a barn with a kick,

Its our club they are but passing players. Our club will hopefully still be her in 100 years time and those f***ers who have tried to destroy it will be a passing memory.

No, I count Frawley, Garland, McDonald, Jones and Viney...what's that, 5.

We could add Hogan who is not officially on the list yet and I would like to have a look at Taggert, Barry and maybe Davis. But the rest can all go. Probably a bit unfair on the new boys from this year so lets give them a reprieve.

Why does it always feel like we are always the step ladder for the new expansion clubs? Whenever these teams achieve a 'first' of any kind it always seems to be over us.

Now comes the tough part of PJ's job. He has banished a lot of people from the club. It's going to be the mother of all sells to get anyone else in here. I hope he is up for the challenge as the sackings were relatively easy. He owed those blokes nothing and they were going to be paid out by the AFL. The ensuing red ink was never going to reflect on him. Now, he has to show others why they want to be a part of the MFC. If I were 18 again and an aspiring footballer, no way would I want to join the Dees.

And finally, I would like CS and Cuddles to front up on the panel shows tomorrow to explain how well the Red and Blueprint went and why intentionally dropping matches was for our long term benefit.

I wish everyone would get off the 'sack everyone' bullshite!!! We've sacked the Coach, CEO, The President, and had a clean out of players last year. More changes will occur.

The 'Sack Everyone' approach is only applicable if you have the people to replace the people you sack!!.

What this club needs is a coach with a game plan who can set an on field culture, and a learning/development culture that improves the list. The head coach alone will not achieve this. We need quality assistant and development coaches to implement this development.

To name a few, Davey, Blease, Sylvia, Dunn, Howe (great trade option), McKenzie, Grimes, Watts. Byrnes, Pederson, Rodan

Please kindly punch yourself in the face.

Seriously Chook, this club has made me so numb that a punch in the head would not register. My point is that StKilda may take what I consider our 2 nd draft pick if we won today then beat the bulldogs in the last round.

Yes I know draft picks alone wont (and haven't) help the club, but it helps if the club can start to add in factors that other clubs have when developing a team. PJ better start the ball rolling in this area.

C&B its to late for that, my 13 and 15 year olds would rather go to a Storm or Victory game and have pretty much turned their backs on not only Melbourne but footy in general.

Chalk up another two victims of the Melbourne Football Club.

If you watched today and still think:

-We should draft Boyd
-Neil Craig should coach next year
-Our captains are good leaders

You should give up watching football.

Years or drafting skinny vanilla kids instead of a few mongrel dogs like Darling, sloane, wines, martin.... Too many pretty boys with private school education who expect it all to land at their feet after being drafted. F**k you Melbourne... Let our best 5 players go to good clubs at years end... Do them a favour!

there goes the private school line again, demonstrating the level of intelligence of someone who didn't go to one

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
