Roos said in his Post match media interview that he was "Pleased" with today.

 

We are DEAD as a club if our coach can be pleased with losing regardless of how close it was.

My GOD it gets me angry. Time for Roos to go, and insert someone who is emotionally invested in the club and its future.

What you're posting that dribble again

Yeah look at the interview again sober.

He was pleased, despite losing.

Only DH here is you and the other sugar coaters. Grow up and accept that we are finished as a club. 16 in a row to North?... hang your heads in shame.

Was happy with the effort and intensity all day. We couldn't work out how to play into the wind in the first and they couldn't in the second. 

In terms of the umpiring I was not surprised, North always get the rub from the umps, have done so for years. 

Four decisions that for me changed the game. 

1: when one of the tallest on the field clearly ducked into one of yhe shortest in Jetta and got a free and a shot on goal.

2: When Goldstein got a free because Gawn holding the same way every ruch does in every contest. Even the commentators were stumped. Again a shot on goal.

3: the diliberate paid against Vince when he handballed while being tacjled and missed two targets by going over their head by about a foot. He simply missed his target. Again a shot on goal.

4: Clear mark not paid to Harmes, missed shot on goal to us.

Shattered to lose that one, but happy to see us kick 20 goals in a match. Apart from the first quarter fade, we fought hard all day. We were just let down by our own disposal into the forward 50.

Maxy... what a beast. Owned Goldy at the stoppages, but got beaten elsewhere...

Kind of makes last weeks loss a little hard to take...

So many silly free kicks given to bloody duckers...

Agreed, if we can play like we did for the last 3 qtrs every week we will win many more than we loose, the team just needs to bring that effort every week or we aren't going anywhere

Are you the type of person who while a building is being built isnt happy until it is finished no matter how good the foundations were while they were being built?

I thought Wagner was okay, laid a great tackle on Thomas in the third but outside of that he didn't do a huge amount.

Frost was pretty poor, no impact.

Stretch I thought was good.  Missed a few targets but kept his spot for next week IMO.

Harmes was okay, kicked a goal in the last and put some pressure on.

Salem played off half back and was terrific.

Yes, I thought Stretch added a bit of pace and had impact and Harmes was a good contributor. Dunn looked rusty at times, but will definitely be better for the run. Garlett would have been very useful today.

I'll leave this up for posterity's sake....
I would say this is how I feel at the moment. Sans the first quarter comment because I don't think we were that horrible in the first as no one knew how fluky the breeze was. North found this out as well the hard way in the second.
As I said, we shouldn't point fingers but was a real missed opportunity.

 Some people follow footy with hope in their hearts (the softies he refers to continually), some follow footy so they can tell everyone else how weak they are.

Im the type of person who wont accept losing.. after 10 years of losing.

Its very obvious to me that MFC has a large percentage of suckholes who think that a narrow loss is a good thing. Yeah, lets have several narrow losses each year for the next 15 years.... that would be great wouldnt it?

My dear god the [censored] factor in this site is off the chart. Enjoy your near losses everyone. MFC stand for nothing, and so do most of the sickening apologists who post here. 

WINS matter. Nothing else. 10 years of rubbish is more than enough for anyone with standards. The rest of you can please yourselves.

Bad mistake by Watts in the last when he should have had  a shot (only about 30 out) went to pass to Hogan,  North intercepted and goaled.  12 point turnaround and would have had us 6 up. Overall good effort though and if we repeat that against pies and tiges we beat them. 

Hate to say it but that shitfull brainfade from Watts cost us the game.

So after a performance like last week's, a coach is a sugar coater if he is pleased with our response this week.   A narrow loss to a top 4 team after a week like last week's is a damn sight better than a 10 goal loss.  Game could have gone either way in the end, but all you see is LOSS.     I bet you came top of every class at school and now run a billion dollar business.  Actually, I don't.

I was at the ground, following from last week I was worried we could get monstered and at quarter time it was looking that way. The response after quarter time was incredible, it was a showcase of what we are truly capable against an in form team and in truth we shot ourselves in the foot (not for the first time).

key moments in the last quarter cost us shots on goal/goals and the opportunity to actually get the win. 

It was not easy conditions with the wind blowing all over the place and once we settled we looked every bit the team we're capable of being. There is talk about the umpires, and so I'll start by saying we had our chances and we got punished for not taking them. But there were decisions that gifted them shots on goal that were North playing for the frees and the umps being sucked in. 

They played a part but I won't say they lost it for us, we had enough chances. 

Gawn was amazing and is capable of being AA, maybe not next year but it's in him. He was huge. 

Viney played his usual heart out and was big when the game was in the balance. 

Lumumba was MUCH better and his run out of defence was important, he still needs to learn when the time is right to do it but he was important for us today. 

Oliver showed again why is going to be big for our future, and his first goal was a cracker. 

Sooooo frustrating to see this after being dished up that undiluted crap last week, but they must build on it and we have to win next week. We just have to. Collingwood are a very average team and it will be a disaster if we are 1-3 after 4 rounds.

What a pathetic attitude. You pick out one word in a presser and claim we are dead as a result? I understand that you are frustrated, but calling for the coach's head is nothing short of simplistic and dumb, especially when your talking about Paul Roos.

If you were talking about Mark Neeld, well that would be another matter.......

lol WE LOST !!!

After losing to a team of ring ins last week. My dear god i cant believe that anyone who follows this club need it explained to them, but clearly you are a bit simpler then most so i need to break it down. Lets it be known i am typing very slowly so you can keep up.

The fact that we lost to Essendrug last week should be enough for ANYONE to accept that we have major problems, but to follow it up with our 16th loss in a row to a club nobody seriously rate as a realistic chance at a premiership in a so-called "statement" game is an embarrassment. 

Dont mind me talking sense Sue, you just go right ahead and knock yourself out making excuses for losing to Norf.

 

Mel-Mun, clap clap clap......

Let's not ignore the elephant in the room either:

It's no co-incidence that when Garland gets dropped we cough up our biggest score of the year...

:roos:

Frost was very poor today as a forward/ruck chop out. Not sure why he isn't getting a run in the backline. Do we persist with only Dunn and TMac as our tall backs against the Pies? Or would OMac be  considered? Pedo?

An amazing, frustrating, exhilarating, heart stopping game of footy. Lots to love, lots to despair of.

I know we will play a couple more howlers this year just like the Essendon one, probably at Etihad or against the Lions etc... But for the most part, I can enjoy watching the Dees play again. Who remembers just after the Neeld sacking - our % was in the 50's. Yep, the 50's. Today, after 2 losses, it is in the 90's. We are IN almost every game we play,  even if we get 7 goals behind. We lack polish but we are at the contest, fighting,  clawing, tackling and busting our guts.

I hate losing and am sick of it. But at least I am enjoying the game again.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
