Recommended Posts

I am going to buy a ticket in Thursdays lotto hopefully if I win I can buy a new Melbourne fc

I wouldn't waste my winnings on this pathetic, lazy, heartless mob..get rid of over rated players like Dawes and Frawley would be a good start..Money wasted..Dawes couldn't mark couldn't pick up the ball and couldn't beat his opponent at any time one on one..Frawley just as bad..

Paul Roos ; your opponents became crippled by lack of rotations and options and yet still manufactured a flogging. . YOU were out-coached, but you're supposed to be accomplished .

Our list is rubbish but you know this and I expect you to allow for this in your coaching. You're accountable. That was pathetic

We got the wrong coach. A non committal, defensive strategist who from day one at Sydney took over a decent team. You either want to coach on a rolling contract or you don't. I don't care who you are, you cannot pick when you will walk away from your club. If the coach isn't committed, why should the players be. From day one, Roos has referred to the playing group as 'them'. When we are poor, he blames the previous heirachy's failings. No accountability. I suspect Paul is keen to leave now, scared of losing his reputation as a great coach. Which he is not. Great coaches teams play great footy.

After the last home and away game let Melbourne play Casey giving Nathan Jones a day off as he is possibly the only player worth keeping.

Then look at the talent in the Swans, Hawthorn and Geelong VFL teams and probably get many of our new players from them.

It is so depressing!

I just can't believe we beat tiges, blues, dons and crows.

It just doesn't make sense.

they all kicked poorly against us and we had less scoring shots than all 4 teams in each game

Fluke wins

We are still as bad as 2012/13

Me too. To my 4 kids, I am so sorry. At least I had Flower, Shwartz, the Wiz, Neita, Jurrah. My kids get nothing.

It's like a never ending torture that the team you loved as a kid is an embarrassment to your children.

Went today with my seven year old daughter. She can't understand how we can lose by so much on our home ground to gws. Honestly, I can't either.

I don't see a future for the mfc or a way forward. We have steadily deteriorated over his year. There is no hope, no spark. Nothing that I can honestly say gives some semblance of hope.

Now I'm going to take a swipe at some players. Look away if you are inclined to defend the indefensible.

MacDonald... your inability to pump the ball towards goal when you were in position to do so in the first quarter is a signal to the opposition that you are a limited footballer!

Dawes... give us more than a long run towards the ball carrier!

Frawley... get whatever you can from the player transfer rules because your best days are surely behind you!

That's the trouble with when they turn seven. Even a rudimentary understanding of counting makes a cover up nigh impossible.

We are still every chance of winning the spoon even if Stkilda don't win another game! Eagles n Roos will feast on the carcass we have become!

Oh well English Premier League is back thank Faaahhc! My family deserves better than my selfish obsession of supporting such horrible almost unwatchable tripe!

Those teams would be cursing those losses pretty much all of them will see it as costing them a finals spot.

I wasn't even that angry today, nowhere near 186 levels of disgust - I think I'm just completely desensitised to the MFC now, couldn't even be bothered yelling out or booing the team like so many others were doing to vent their frustration. I was sitting there in between laughs and cracking jokes at our expense with my brother just trying to figure out how this club can ever turn it around. It's gonna take a full decade of list turnover and development - when guys like Gawn, Tyson, Viney & Salem are our senior/mature players we may have a chance at a flag until then I think all we can hope for is to be around where Richmond is in about 4-5 years.

Let's look on the bright side guys. Very good chance we will have picks 2,3,4

They could give us all top ten picks but it wouldn't make a bl@@dy difference.

Look at the lions last night... Not many top ten picks but gee they have a red hot dip... Why? There are standards and each player has the guts to look each other in the eye after a game and say they gave their all... Our mob are just pathetic, mollycoddled princesses.

People saying it's Paul Roos fault have no idea! How many coaches can this mob burn! I put it on the culture of our club! When things get tough we go pack up shop. Judge Roos after his 3 years!

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
