GAME DAY - Round 7

I have come to the realisation that we are never going to be a competitive football club. We are too far gone.

Therein lies the problem - the competition never stops evolving.

We're ducked.

 

I only follow the scores for two reasons these days. First, in the hope of seeing a goal kicked so we don't go through a match without scoring any at all. Second, in the hope that we do not lose a game by over 200 points. Both will happen soon but at least we seem to have avoided both again today. I don't expect these guys to compete because they quite simply won't.

An apologist culture where competing is not the highest priority. We do not belong in the AFL and will not be there in 5 years time.

It'd almost be worth delisting everybody and starting from scratch, is that even possible? We need to cut out whatever cancer has infected this club

Win? Are you [censored] kidding???

How about chasing and tackling. And manning up when we don't have the ball???

We can't/won't do the basics. They are a pea-hearted bunch of losers.

Watts might be smarter than we give him credit for.

Asking to be dropped this week might have saved him....How pathetic we are as a club.

Yep. Time to go fishin me thinks

That is a scary thought Ethan but, unfortunately, is now worthy of serious consideration.


Dawes 2 marks. Spencer nil.

Just not enough return from our big men.

I'm not sure how N.Jones gets away from getting a lashing from this site.

Because when Ablett has a sore shoulder he gets to take a well paid holiday. When Jones has a sore shoulder he's expected to continue to lead a midfield full of crap players.

Getting the base tan for the hipster holiday, Earl?

Yes off to Noosa soon! Can't come soon enough.

We'll be bottom 2 again this year for sure

The question how many Melb players would get a game with Hawthorn. There are not too many. McDonald and Garland only.

Disagree Jaded... Sorry

Nothing good comes from Collingwood.

Neeld, Dawes, Lamumba...

Peter Moore says a Brownlow hi to you boydie.

I don't understand how we have had so many high draft picks and still have one of the least skilled side in the HISTORY of the competition. We are a debacle!

I didn't expect to win but at least keep it to a 10 goal loss!

Back to auskick for you Garland


Insipid stuff but the AFL did us no favours at all in piling on these three games in a row. Confidence will take a hammering from this. If you want a competitive Melbourne, this isn't helping.

I wouldn't blame the AFL fixturing. We would have had to play them at some point. I'm just sick of being uncompetitive against the better sides. When does this crap end?

Cross has taken some nice intercept marks. Disposal not great though.

Howe can [censored] off - useless footballer, drop him to Casey and see what we get for him in trade week. A 3rd round pick would be about right.

And to think GWS offered pick 6 last year!!

It ends when the league finally puts us out of our misery and we fold/merge/relocate. And when that day finally comes, we will have nobody to blame but ourselves. In a strange kind of way i hope it is soon, if only so i can stop feeling so [censored] bad every weekend.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
