What a stupid comment. We lost that one by 25 goals. obviously that renders your point utterly meaningless.

I posted: Btw though we won 4 of our last 5 against Essendon, they kicked 484 total points V our 395 points total in those 5 games.

..which I thought some forum members might find interesting enough, as you couldn't call us equal if Essendon kicks 5+ times our score (a greater % differential than 186) then next match Melbourne wins by 1 point. Solely characterizing today as "we've won 4 of our last 5 matches" is a bit misleading.

Todays game is far from in the bag based on our past 5 matches. We'll have to come to play and win it, like any other.

Curry, do you ever think of changing your avatar back to Mick Fleetwood (it was, wasn't it??)? Your posts seemed more fun back then.

    Worst loss for the season.

    The supporters realized

    But as usual, the players didn't

    Not important to those in the football dept obviously....

    Other teams can turn a corner in a preseason

    The MFC still plundering the depths post 2007...

    No idea WTF you're talking about

    The rest of your post is also pedantic garbage unworthy of response

    Thanks for your time

    Yes but not right now.....

    Al, absolutely admire your optimism, contrasting my increasing cynicism and utter despair.

    I will start by saying I didn't watch the game, worked 25 hours over sat/sun. However I didn't listen all be it interrupted through my phone to everybody's favourite call team Triple M. Many excuses have been thrown up in the post match discussion thread, and all were quickly dismissed as they should of been. I honestly thought we had turned the corner mentally after the win against Geelong. We had enough talent playing to win that game. Having said that as many have stated on here all year we are still 2 trade/draft periods away from having a really competive list, and sadly we are still mentally week. What part of turn up ready to play every week don't the players understand. Great sides can start slowly because of complacency, find themselves 2-3 goals down at qtr time to a lesser opponent only to get a rev up from the coach and go on to win by 80-100 points. The coaching staff are not blame. 3 weeks ago Roos was back to being the messiah, we can't have it both ways. Look at North against the Suns then North against Geelong, Sydney against the Hawks then Sydney against the Tigers, Freo's first 7-8 games and their last 4-5. The Bulldogs, Saints and Collingwood have all dropped games but have been ultra competitive in most of their games purely through their attack on the ball and tackling/defensive pressure. Only a bit of polish and in Collingwoods case a fwd that can kick straight has stopped those 3 clubs from winning a lot more. Are their teams that much more advanced then ours? Physically no but mentally yes. I don't buy into this crap that the Bombers came out fired up because of their loss the week before and in turn we will come out this week. If we are still relying on that we are in trouble. Haven't we learnt this lesson before.

    Richmond are officially a mess, how they beat Freo and Sydney is beyond me. Time to start betting against them and take back what they took from me earlier in the year.

    Lose to Brisbane and we finish last in 2015.

    Absolute must-win.

    We've been here before.

    2014 all over again.

    They'll fluff it like the losers they are.

    The season will snowball now.

    Petrified about our Carlton game, more than the 100 point loss against Freo that's sure to happen.

    Three weeks that were always going to be season defining.

    Well, the season has been summed up.

    Who will we beat? Carlton? Yay! *sigh*

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
