I walked away from my seat just before halftime last week. I had to regain my equilibrium somehow so i blotted out of my mind the scenes I was watching a minute earlier.I walked past a rubbish bin and half hanging out of it was a Melbourne FC lanyard which I presume was attached to a membership ticket. I tipped the whole thing in the bin because the sight of the bloody thing tossed away but partly visible like that was too much to bear. Frankly it was the tipping point in a. hoorible day

    The bin was choking on it, trying to cough it up.

    Well they can't move the whole team on...

    Jones, Watts, Grimes, Garland, Dunn should all be put up for trade. It should be a KPI for Roos and the list management team to trade all of them. Their ineffectiveness during a match drives the rest of the team.

    I seriously think a team led by Vince, Brayshaw, Hogan, VB, Petracca, McDonald, Salem is infinitely more attractive than the current boys club from the Bailey and Daniher years. Look at the Bulldogs.

    Seriously, if there aren't major changes and legitimate talent brought in, then you have to question the viability of the club has a whole if it can't attract players.

    The players that are still with us that were at the club in 2011, the year of the 186 loss to Geelong, should be considered for trade.

    Here are the 14:

    N. Jones

    *Watts

    Trengrove

    Dunne

    *Grimes

    *Garland

    Gawn

    *Howe

    Jetta

    **Jarmar

    *Spencer

    *Bail

    Fitzpatrick

    T. McDonald

    * may have trade value

    ** may not have much if any

    All others in bold print should be persevered with IMHO

    Lou, seriously what has a loss to Geelong in 2011 got to do with players we keep next year. It is as ludicrous as Geelong saying they will hang onto every player that played in that same game.

    Judge players on what they have done and can do. Not in whether they played in a game 5 years ago.

    Nothing has changed in 5 years.

    It just so happens that these players (marked with an asterix) are the ones that continuously play and let us down when the chips are down.

    Coincidently they are from that era, Is there a connection? Maybe ,maybe not!

    Mongrel, I wish you'd change your avatar. Every time I see it I think I'm about to read a BBO post. Most disconcerting.

    Yes Dee-vina, I imagine it must be a terrible let down to be trembling in anticipation of unwrapping one of my literary gems only to be disappointed at the denouement.

    Lacking vision with this post, unless of course you're being facetious.

    Nope, so we beat a few reasonable teams for the first time in years. It would have to happen sooner rather than later

    Completely nullified by losses to Carlton and Essendon.

    Same old shite.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
