Post Match Discussion - Round 17

I know it hurts, it does week in and week out. But tell you what, I love the dees and will be back next week.

 

Did anyone rate Michie being the sub?

How do you rate somebody who comes on after they have kicked 6 to put the game out of our reach. He had

9 disposals, 1 clearance, 2 tackles,1 goal assist and scored a behind in basically the last quarter. On those number he should have been on all game. Might have had a bit of impact.

You know that's not true Bitter. Deep down you love it even more - like a disadvantaged child. Perhaps membership should be made tax deductable under the registered charity legislatio

I watched this game from the comfort of Romsey Manor RTG. During the third quarter I used alcohol to wash down an additional "atenolol" and my poor gentle bloody dog is still hiding in the bedroom. I'm not wasting my time or energy going to another game this year.

 

We're getting worse each week.

The good news is that can't happen next week.

What a wonderful game that was. I hope they tape it so they can show prospective Melbourne supporters just the type of football our club can put on. We are seriously the best club out there when it comes to handpasses to stationary players, botching kicks going forward, making the wrong match ups and allowing teams to get a run on in a quarter of their choosing that will put the game out of our reach.

No-one does it better guys.

Roos isn't the problem either guys. He isn't kicking the ball, missing a handpass or not running hard enough.


I rated it [censored] useless out of 10.

How did you rate Garland, Garlett, Harmes, Stretch and Vandenberg?

I've got to admit, I like to accentuate the positive but beyond the season almost over, I'm struggling to find many. I even found myself agreeing with Stuie.

 

We were pathetic today, but the umpiring was infuriating. Especially from Brad Wallace... I wonder if his old man had a hand in him getting the job?

Im sick of people even mentioning the umpiring after an effort like today. Thats like someone p1ss1ng in your mouth and your pointing out that your Tshirt is getting wet.

FFS, there is so much more to be concerned about after today than some [censored] umpiring decisions.

Wait until we are matching it with other sides and the results come down to umpiring decisions THEN we can discuss it. Until then it is just pointless noise

We had 77 more hand balls and they had 44 more kicks.

Those 77 handballs ultimately led to turnovers and those 44 kicks got the ball forward quickly, giving the Saints forwards a chance to be one out, or alone and then goal.


Sooo shat off at that pathetic .... what .. I can't even call it an effort.

Melbourne played exactly as they did last week.

Poor skills, poor coaching and on top of that poor umpiring didn't help.

Exactly! I am one who actually wasn't happy we won last week. In my opinion the win against the Lions helped to disguise some serious issues out of that game. Today those issues had no where to hide

How did you rate Garland, Garlett, Harmes, Stretch and Vandenberg?

Would be a bunch of censored words really.

The AFL should rethink about giving lowly sides very bad match slots , all i can see it doing is keeping them in a spiral of decline!!

Successful teams need competition , and quite frankly you could give them the type of poor timings we get and fans would still flock to see their team compete ..

Lowly sides like us need all the help they can get because without us there would be no successful teams to play against !

Besides that , i do think that perhaps Paul Roos should consider turning his job over to Goodwin because i believe his game style now has gone a bit passe !!

Dawes should be dropped. He is paid to be a full forward and elected to pop in to the square where all our player were out of position. I say bring in Jamar as our second ruck/forward. Him or Fitzy.

So much for pushing for a big second half of the year, we seem to be incapable of breaking out of negative mind sets once they've crept in.


I know it hurts, it does week in and week out. But tell you what, I love the dees and will be back next week.

You're [censored] nuts.

Does anyone from the Club monitor this site? Deplorable result. 30 minutes later, we are still at page 2. Even the diehards are giving-up! Like most of the players.

Ive been thinking the same thing. 4 years ago, after a loss like today this would be page 23 by now. there is most definitely a serious drop off in passion.

Im [censored] scared that Roos ALREADY has passed match day duties over to Goodwin.

Would be a bunch of censored words really.

Yep!! In fact no one really rated today in my opinion. The 3 word summary for all should be censored.

My family and I did a first today. We walked out halfway through the 3rd QTR reeling from another putrid performance by this team. Right from the get go I sensed this group was going to serve up another compelling reason not to renew costly memberships next year and they did not disappoint.

If the MFC believes it will attract new members to this club they have their collective heads up their rear ends.

The brand of football is putrid, I challenge anyone to say its enjoyable, and unless there is a massive change in AFL football we are not going anywhere folks. This situation onfield for the MFC happens far too often and too frequent for any hardened supporter. The football is rubbish to watch but even worse for MFC supporters who pay to watch this rubbish far too often. This club needs a revolution or die....

I feel for the kids, and fully understand why they would go and play soccer, this rubbish served up by this club does nothing for the game I love.

You have to allow for the post traumatic shock Munga.

To see just how successful the Sydney Swans blueprint is going in modern footy, flick over to that game in Perth.

We had 77 more hand balls and they had 44 more kicks.

We bomb it into packs. No leads. High up and unders. Do they think it's rugby? Oh no wait rugby players can lay tackles that stick and hurt.
 

Evening all..home and dry...

What did i miss ??

Not a decent effort apparently

We bomb it into packs. No leads. High up and unders. Do they think it's rugby? Oh no wait rugby players can lay tackles that stick and hurt.

Don't forget bombing it to the goal square where a lonely Saints player was standing waiting for an easy mark. Multiple times.

We are so easy to coach against, we've clearly been found out.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
