GAME DAY - Round 7



Recommended Posts

Nobody seems able to kick any distance in the forward line

Hawks are treating us with absolute contempt - they just push off our tackles without raising a sweat and know they don't have to pressure us, just sit back and wait for us to turn it over then sprint forward into an open 50.

We're behind the ball again, literally but also metaphorically.

I think the modern game has gone past Roos.

Our problem in 2011 was that quick teams would destroy us, no matter how hard we defended.

It's still an issue 4 years later.

Our midfield essentially plays the role entirely of tagger. Our mids aren't damaging enough, so why tag them?

We break down coming out of defense.

We become pedestrian whenever a team gets a run on.

Our leadership is abhorrent.

Our skills are deplorable.

We are still a bad, bad football club.

Good luck, Jackson!

Well. you would have to think that we will be able to run the 2nd half out. The hawks have run hard all game. And we have barely bothered.

They must tire... and then we will strike! Right? Rope-a-dope?

Dear Melbourne FC Twitter account,

I'm well aware of the scores. I wish you spent less time telling me how bad we are doing and more time telling me what is wrong with Salem #useless

Kindest Regards

Apart from McDonald we don't have a single winner on the ground

It's sad that after so many years and so many drafts we are still unable to field a team of AFL standard

I think Garland has played well.

Garlett has played his role.

Havent noticed Jones much. Tyson has had very little impact on the game all year.

Are we wearing concrete boots, they are running so much harder and quicker than us. It's glaryingly obvious.

Too many out there are a liability, and with Salem and Hogan added to the list, injuries are starting to decimate us. We aren't good enough to be missing 6 or 7 best 22 players.

That's not Paul Roos fault.

Roos is doing a good job with this lot, they are just sub par football players.

We've shanked our drafting the past decade, what do you expect Roos to do with this lot?

The only players that resemble AFL players on our list - are those that Roos drafted.

Vandenberg looks a level above most our other players most weeks.

Paul Roos footy is boring as [censored]

How the hell dos he expect to attract members with this [censored]. I wonder if he takes input from Goodwin and McCartneyy or if he thinks hes too perfect with his pathetic 'lets kick no goals every week' game plan

Love the way Vanders is throwing himself at the contest in our fwd50.

Really working hard.

Has Tyson had a touch?

Yes, that kick on the back flank where brayshaw was open for 10 seconds, ignored him, put himself under pressure, kicked smothered resulting in a hawks goal. Sick of his shithouse disposal week in, week out

Cant wait for the usual suckholes to come on here after the game to tell us how we really aren't that bad, and showed some positive signs,Hawks are a good side, we are young and inexperienced, low on confidence etc etc etc.

MFC are not making me regret buying whiskey instead of a membership.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
