Its like you picked out the least of our problems and made it the biggest.

 

 

As a first post no less. Doubled down by creating a thread with an inflammatory title. 

Classic troll behaviour - though as often seems to be the case lazy. i mean if you are going to do it, build up some credibilty with a solid bank of good posts,  then drop your little wet fart.

 

This thread is disgraceful, unrespectful [censored] first post, do haters just wait for a few things to go wrong? So they can be a troll, Jones has been through a lot of dark times, always giving his all he never stops running, throws himself around, always does the team thing, never drops his head, get lost troll, I wish I can meet  all you trolls to tell you to f off.

I think i made you angry haha

But seriously whats a troll and why am i a troll?

Do you think im some supporter from another club trying to stir up [censored] or i just typed all that as some kind of joke?

Did you read what i wrote? Im not disputing what he does on the field with his own game or saying he hasnt given his all for the club. Someone on here said if the other 21 players gave as much as he did then there wouldnt be a problem and thats my point. He drives himself to get the best out of himself but doesnt get anything out of the rest of HIS team that he is THE captain of.

We were all expecting finals this year and we are now 14th with 2 wins after 5 rounds.

I know! It must be because we have an incompetent coach who doesnt have a game plan. He just tells the players to kick it to someone else in the red and blue colours and try to kick between the big sticks. He literally hasnt even thought up a game plan at all. He must be sacked immediately and replaced with someone who we put all our faith in. Someone who knows that an afl team needs a game plan and knows how to develop one maybe? Then we can call for his head again next year when we realise he actually doesnt have a game plan like the last however many coaches weve had in the last 10 years. He was just pretending to know what he was doing.

The players are lost. It doesnt matter what the game plan is or who the coach is. They fumble, they make mistakes and theyre scared. Its the same thing year after year, coach after coach, gameplan after gameplan (or no gameplan). Even with different players! They need a captain who keeps their heads in the right place, who guides and advises them, someone who they respect and listen to. They are not listening to Jones. He is not getting through to them.

Whenever a coach is under the pump or gets sacked all you hear is that footy is a cut throat business, heads have to roll etc. Yeah well weve rolled enough coaches. Time to look at our captain. Maybe like that other teams supporters did recently with their captain. Who was it? Richmond with Cotchin? Do you think maybe the calls from the supporters for him to be dropped as captain might have driven him to improve as a captain? Not that theyre a successful club anyway.

Not us though. Not melbourne supporters going against our saviour in Jones. We will just [censored] foot around, sack the coach and be cellar dwellers for eternity.

 

Mate, you need a manager. You’re handling yourself waaayy too much.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
