The Bullies just play a completely different game to us. They play on to a forward runner at every single opportunity and then sprint for the next 10 metres. It completely destroys any defensive structure we might have. Unless we play one on one, it will be a 25 goal victory. How the MFC coaching team don't get how the Bulldogs take the game on just baffles me. You can't contest unless you can get near them. By contrast, our team find new ways to embarrass their supporters.

 

People are still watching? I gave up 15 minutes ago.

You're missing a great display of football. Unfortunately it's not us, but it's exhilarating to watch.
 

Yeah I'm going to watch the Great British Bake Off

A good contest


12 months ago, Footscray looked destined for years in the wilderness. Lost experience and gained little in return.

They play to win and don't look for excuses. Genuine flag threat the way they play.

Body language of Dunn, Jones, Howe, Jetta is defeatist and disgraceful.

Until they are all gone, we will be average.

Exactly. Its almost verbatim of Chips body language last year. Hands on hips. Head down. Defeated before the game is barely a quarter old. SAME OLD STORY.

Our Backline are such dumb footballers

 

We'll win from here.....

I don't even care today. Who gives a stuff really, we are just riding out the year now. Dogs are going for Top 4. Stop getting upset by it and understand the difference in what the two sides are playing for.

You need to finish strongly. Finals or not. So much depends on it. So many variables. Free agents. Members. Sponsors.

You can't just fold because the season means something. You're always playing for something.

Don't start.

Stringer had a serious leg injury, no-one quite knew how or even if he'd be able to get back. We weren't the only ones who passed.

Leg injury, hip injury.

Whateva helps you sleep better.

Stringer taking a shot on goal now while Toumpas is where?


I can't help it. I don't know why. Masochistic tendencies?

I just turned it back on.

Why did Howe just punch the ball back in play instead of rushing a behind?

If we beat them out of the centre, their forward runner is irrelevant. We are getting smashed in the simple basics of football. Win the contested ball, tackle, spread, hit targets.

In the wasted first round scrap heap that is the MFC.

Time to go home .... don't want to see this again .....


[censored] these umpires!

Had Mark Neeld hijacked the coaching box?

I'm having flashbacks

Welcome back to the darkest days.

Just left.


Being comprehensively outplayed by a bloody good TEAM who back each other up and deliver with skill. Destined for top 4.

Our guys are trying but have had their morale totally shot

My god. This is like watching someone shoot puppies.

Roos game plan is completely outdated.

All the current successful teams have modelled themselves on Hawthorn.

West Coast, Bulldogs, Richmond and soon to be carlton.

Roos needs to be able to recognise this

 

Wow. 186 is looking like a good day right now.

  • 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.
