Where is that corner - I cannot find it.

When does this team finally work out that embarrassing performances are no longer acceptable. Losing to the bombers was very very unacceptable.

I listened to Peter Jackson at the AGM where he reinforced that football is their priority and winning games of football comes first. Losing to a VFL team is appalling and some senior players should hang their heads in shame.

I was hoping to see around the corner in 2015 and get a view of a positive future. Setbacks like losing to a VFL team just make me angry at many on our list.

Being embarrassed is part of a MFC supporters lot! However, I will still keep that blind faith.

 

It's not even round 1 yet... Think back to how much last years preseason games meant and then apply that to this year

I agree Soi. Faith can only be blind after the years of heartache we have been forced to endure, and there is only one possible cure for the affliction that affects us!

 

I just don't get the panic after that loss. There side still had some very good players, and they were well up for it, you could see what it meant to them after the siren.

I expected a win still, but was hardly an earth shattering loss.

Interesting that when we played a strong Freo side we played very good footy. We go into the next two matches playing weakened sides where we are expected to win & we are for the most part ordinary. We all know how much footy is played above the shoulders so I for one will wait until I see how they perform in the season proper before resorting to the mass hysteria which has permeated pages of demonland forums......I mean "really" the sheer arrogance of some supporters suggesting 70 points plus wins......amazing !! we have a new forward line.....new mids....new backs and at the most they have played two ....if lucky three games together.....what did we honestly expect. Anyone who can't see the improvement must have the " negative Nellie" blinkers on. It will happen but obviously not as quickly as we would like .....in saying that....it could also happen a lot quicker.


Should there be a MFCSS thread where all the whinging etc get kept to only one thread, and any posts that should be in there are moved from other threads to keep things constructive? It would save the first page of the board being filled up with 'why do we suck/who is to blame' etc of which there is always plenty.

I agree.

What also annoys me Clint is that when people are agitated and annoyed about what's happening they feel the need to start a thread about it, rather than either posting it in the post match thread or in any of the other similar threads that have already been started.

I hope we smash them for points tho, this season. otherwise it will be a worry.

Melbourne beat Footscray.

Footscray beat Collingwood.

Melbourne is better than Collingwood (?)

It is never where you think the Corner is butterfly, and I never could understand what the hell does unacceptable means and what can be done about it? What sack the whole team, sack the coach? Every one sees the corner differently, and some times you go back past the corner, and sometimes you go forward past a corner, and some times you never go past the corner. There is a time to win and there time to lose.

I'm just up the road from you NAA, can I get some of whatever it is you had with your coffee? I was reading about your corners and now I find I am shltting myself not knowing what the corners in my office are doing.

A time to sow, a time to reap, and a time to fall asleep at the wheel of your combine harvester after a 15 hour day and a bottle of Jack, and mince up your neighbour, his wife, their brood of kids and a kelpie called Max.

I think I read that in the bible somewhere.

Yes my children the corner can seem faraway, there is a time to fall off a ramp with a 70 kg beef hindquarter on your back and tear my ankle ligaments, the corners are very far away.

The only corner I know is inhabited by a black dog.

I try to avoid 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.
