Hell Dr where did you get my photo?

Haha, I just googled "pessimistic old Melbourne supporter" and it was the first result.

You really should have it as your avatar ;)

    1. Who are you, and what have you done with Old Dee? :blink::blink:

    2. Replace it with Winnie the Pooh, of course!

    Not sure if this has been mentioned - Tommy Mc has been nominated for 'Goal of the Year'!

    A bit of a surprise but it was an exciting goal.

    Jack Watts can share the credit for the beautiful way he got the ball to Tommy.

    Well done to TMc!

    A quote from Howe that made me sit bolt upright~

    “It’s not something you look into, but the last effort that led up to that Montagna goal wasn’t good enough. Even if we had numbers behind the ball, like we should’ve in the first place, there was every chance they still would’ve kicked it. Honest but what an indictment on the team!

    Then I realised he was right!

    The terrible effort, lack of support to Toumpas and lack of desperation by Viney, Cross, Lumumba, McD, Dunn and others which let StK stroll the ball forward into an unguarded goal square and yes they would have still kicked it.

    And if 'its not something you look into' how on earth are they going to learn from it. That line scares me a little.

    Yes, it may be for public consumption but I would prefer he didn't say it at all.

    Even if they didn't know the clock you don't just let a team walk their way to an unguarded goal at any stage of the match!

    The players got what they deserved.

    Sadly its us supporters that keep suffering.

    I saw that quote from Howe as more of a cop outt, saying they could have kicked the goal anyway. The fact is they wouldn't have if extra numbers were back and Jones was at the centre bounce.

    I'm sure it's something the coaching staff look into with the players though. It's not something that will be neglected..

    That just says Howe is defeatist. What a horrible attitude to have. If we got a first rounder for him we'd be laughing.

    Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised by your optimism ... long may it last!

    Contrary to popular opinion R and B I am a very optimistic person.

    It is just the mighty MFC that turns my nature.

    It has only taken about 48 years to not expect a lot from the MFC that has produced my pessimism around the MFC.

    So I guess I spend 90% of my life optimistic not a bad result I would have thought.

    No point dissecting every word and doing in-depth analyses of off-the-cuff remarks.

    I just take it as he meant that it wasn't something that you dwell on. It's clear that it has and will form a major part of the review of the match. But as always, another match rolls round in a week, you learn from it, you move on.

    That is your right Choke

    but believe it or not but it is true.

    I always suspected that Miserable Old Coot is just a game you play with us.

    Oh Please, Jeremy is the last person who should be talking like that, his effort levels have been all over the place this year, if he had imposed himself on that game before the dying minutes it would have been irrelevant.

    what negative rubbish.

    normally I hat nitpicking the words of players in the media, but this one is a stinker. 'We will be examining what went wrong to ensure it never happens again' or something along those lines, would have been the appropriate comment

    So today's the day, I'm finally over what happened last sunday.

    Lets bring on Sunday against the cats!

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
