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.

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.

  • 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.
