I watch the games at least twice and you are clutuching at straws

    Agreed. No fight desire or nous. Everything good teams have and we lack so dearly.

    I am do not like the negativity. I know it is my choice to read these forums - nobody is making me but I always feel 1000 times worse after tuning in here after a loss. I have decided not to read anything for the next week and just hope our next game against last years premiers is a competitive one and we learn from yesterdays errors.

    I seriously do not believe any player goes out not wanting to win and intentionally plays poorly.

    Go Dees.

    A game that became a training run for Hawthorn and all the fun of a root canal for us.

    Some decry the negativity.... I'm searching for the positivity !!

    September holiday seems on the cards.

    We still beat North.

    And Brisbane, who managed to kick two goals after 3/4 time on Saturday. They’re not small scalps.

    I tipped against us in both the Lions and North games.     We got over the line but there were the usual MFC lapses in both games, as well as the Geelong game, that made it feel like not much has changed.

    Yesterdays game proved that to be true.   Theres  a lot of work to be done.

    It's never good when players throw the towel in. They did that yesterday. It is usually a sign of trouble with the coaching ranks or lack of on-field leadership. I suspect we have a bit of both.

    I wonder what the instructions were at 3/4 time when we hadn't kicked a goal in 2 quarters of football?

    I suspect Trouble at Mill. 

    Goody will be on borrowed time with some players. Other staff already affecting things for the detriment ( and has form )

    It's not happy families I'm sensing. 

    Wheels have fallen off. Why ?

    Just when we should be going forward and up... we're stumbling and falling.

    There was dissention before the season. Something is wrong.

    I don't think Werridee is suggesting yesterday's performance was anything other than awful - it wasn't. It was dreadful and you'd have to be stone hearted not to have finished that game not at least a bit pizzed off by it.

    It's just that the sack Goodwin, we're doomed, it's all been for nothing, we're never going to be good crap is totally over the top. 

    At what point can we discuss Goodwin?

    Let's put some numbers around it.

    Mid season when we're bottom 6? With a % with an 8 handle?

    End of season? When?

    That tells me the players don't fear the consequences. Which are driven by the coach, no?

    Or simply don't care enough. Which is fine for the MFC, the club coaching administration has for a long time accepted middling mediocrity as good enough. Maybe it's fans fault for not wielding pitchforks outside HQ, demanding tribute in the form of heads on pikes.

    The problem with the MFC is the shoulders are shrugged and onward.

    I thought with Roos coming in it might change. So it shows the systemically poor culture of the club that it all fell apart when he left.

    There's no ruthlessness.

    Yes indeed

    Sure we can talk about positives but they were few and far btw.

    Realistically speaking yesterday wasnt disappointing it was disgusting.

    We have been bragging about not just a final 8 team but a seroius top 4 team.

    We just gave up yesterday and it suggests quite strongly that we have gone backwards.

    Yes I will keep buying memberzhips and supporting this club but there needs to be accountability.

    Its nots negative to be angry about that insipid performance its realistic.

    If you want to talk about leprechauns and pixies all well and good but allow the rest of us to tell the truth when we give our hard earned over to this club.

    If we get pumped again next game, you have to ask are the players playing for the coach?

    I was feeling so positive 24 hours ago!

    • My team had a great playing list, few injuries and great depth.
    • Our list was so healthy that the previous week the  Casey Demons’ starting eighteen comprised 100% AFL listed players and kicked 28 goals.
    • The previous week we had smashed the Kangas (and the accompanying hoodoo)!
    • We had a great coach and a well-resourced coaching structure.
    • We were destined for the finals for the first time since 2006.
    • (and I had just enjoyed a nice lunch in the Long Room)!

    Then we were comprehensively demolished by Hawthorn!

    I have decided to not go onto Demonland again until after we have won three matches in a row! ?

    My positive from yesterday was Wagner having a go at Lewis in the last quarter after Roughead had been passed a ball from the pocket to about 20m directly in front. Wagner was seemingly telling him he should have been there in that space. Lewis seemed to have said something back but Wagner kept at him. Maybe he has some leadership qualities, I wonder about those of Lewis...

    "We can choose to pursue excellence and, like the Tigers and the Doggies, draw a line under decades of failure by standing up and showing some character in 2018. Or we can squander all the talent and riches bestowed on us by the draft and continue to muddle through, go missing for quarters at a time (as we do every week), and waste a golden generation of talent.

    Very optimistic from @WERRIDEE.

    This place is hard enough to read after a win.

    We need Viney and T Mac back asap

    It's embarrassing to be a MFC supporter.

    If it's not the club and embarrassing performances then it's the supporters who are embarrassing. Nothing wrong being upset but wowee

    Too many nuff nuffs with opinion these days. .. yay for social media

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
