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!

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
