Resilience - MFC Players V MFC Supporters (Merged Thread)

Featured Replies

It is ridiculous that Roosey, other club supporters and the media think there is a veil of negativity around our pathetic, doomed, fisted forever Demons.

You forgot "cursed".

 

Now that deserves serious thought as an alternative.

better still, od, why not get the whole of demonland to do a jonestown

the mcc might even allow us to use the mcg and provide the vats. after all we would be doing them a favour

I don't see how confronting faults helps the win/loss column.

I don't see any other clubs need to confront their faults.

They need to confront the playing list.

Thats who they need to confront.

Yes the Attitude of the playing list. That is the fault.
 

Cheers up guys. Only 2 games to go

Nah Lemmings off the Top of the MCC Grandstand dc :)

Not silly at all. Schwab wanted to make Jack Grimes the "new" Barassi amid great song and dance. The result was Grimes career become very ordinary

creating little messiah's will not win us games...

I never forget we are cursed. I touched wood instead.

Good point dc

Do we have any sponsors who could provide the ingredients?

Would surly make it easier for them to get the message over without all our negativity in the road.

yep, give them the "clean air", that's all that's holding them back

You forgot MFC staff.

All clubs supporters are the same. Collectively, they are a mob. Our supporters are a mob. Hawthorn's supporters are a mob.

When the team wins, the mob is happy.

When the team loses, the mob is unhappy.

When the team is on a winning streak, the mob prophesy winning the next 10 premierships.

When the team is on a losing streak, the mob want to sack the suits, trade all the players, and burn the joint down. (Not necessarily in that order.)

When the team is in a dynasty of losing, like we are, the mob get very, very, very negative.

Only one thing can stop the rot. Winning matches. And the mob can't do the winning. They can only tag along and react.

They've actually made a film about Melbourne supporters.

Perhaps we need a members forum like Collingwood


The whole place is negative, how can it not be after the wasted opportunities of the last 8 years.

The fact remains though the media jump down his throat every time he says something

Of course we play a defensive game style.

Until we can do that what's the point in moving on.so much better off than we were 2 years ago it's not funny

As of round 1 next year Petracca, Kent, a fit Salem, Frost, a top 5 pick, possibly Trengove and an A grade draftee will

start on the ground. No more Bail, Jones and a host of other nqr's will be playing.

The light is on and the tunnel is illuminated.

The fact that most on this site can't see this and bemoan Roos is proof of the very negativity he speaks of.

Roos hasn't been just sorting out the coaching, he and Jackson have been rebuilding this club.

Listening to SEN this morning made me laugh. 2 more commentators trying to stir the pot.

In a couple of years Goodwin will take over a solid list and we'll be back playing finals

Really disappointed with some of the carp that comes out of our coaches mouth.

He blames everyone and everything except himself.

He said that even after the Geelong win people were coming up to him and saying, well you'll never do that again.

What a load of rubbish....after the Geelong win most of us were rapt and saying how great things were looking and hoping we had turned the corner.

Believe us Roosy when we tell you, we do not want to be negative at all, in fact we are sick to our stomachs of being negative....please please please, give us a reason to be positive, like win a couple of games in a row, or beat a bottom side, at least.

Ne constantly blames himself. He often refers to the fact that it must be him and the coaches. Listen to his interviews and stop making [censored] up

and now for some good news

the share market is only down .1% today (so far)

that sounds a little like we only lost by 2 goals

Negative negative dc

That just blew the game against Freo.

Bugger.

Give me an example where he blames himself, because I haven't heard it.

Happy to be proven wrong mate.

Jack was tracking along nicely until Schwab changed his number, made the video

Grimes never played well again apart from that one punch....

Should have kept his own number...identity.

In that time Grimes also broke his collarbone and I would guess is about five kilograms of muscle lighter than he was back then.

yes he did

Just like many others have broken bones and recovered

Becoming a vego didn't help!!!

Do you watch AFL360?

Because he is usually overtly boring and takes ownership for all the nonsense with the obligatory "we have go to do better as a coaching staff" and then meanders around a point about modern footy relationships for 10 minutes while Robinson tries to collect his drunken thoughts amidst the confusion.

The media has picked up on what he said coz they knew we would smell blood and have thrown it out to us, and haven't we loved it?

Also Robbo seems to have some strange grudge at the mo, related to Essendon/Dank/Bates/Magner, but he'll get over it.

The media will be the media, we're in their crosshairs now, them having moved on from Carlton and Essendon. They've done it to us before, will do it again.

There's only one way out, and that's to win games.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • 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.

    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.
