Hogan should be ashamed.
Jones and viney only played in the final qrt. Omac should have stopped that goal so we would have obe.
Max harmes fritz awesome.
Brayshaw tries but his dispisal was disgusting. Petty and smith not the answer.
Not surw anymore 
You could drop at least 7 players but the who do we really have to put in. 
We were just so slow and pushed around too easy.
This season is over. Even if we snuck in....deep down we all know we would be making up the numbers.
And lets be honest.....its a massive if.
Would like to see goodwin give them a huge spray.
As for traccas talk in the media he made it worse.
Anb is a chronic fumbler. Weid was ok but like pedo cant translate from casey to the big time.
This club hasnt changed.

 

Fool me once..........fool me a 1000x.

    It’s Gawn’s fault. He makes us appear better than we are. 

    Simon “as a footy club” Goodwin has no [censored] idea. Brings in Petty and Weid when it was clear as all [censored] last week we needed zip, pressure and crumbers to clean up the garbage that is our forward entries. 

    Leaves that plodder Tyson in when Vince at his absolute worst can do whatever role Tyson is in 100 times better. 

    I watch nearly every game every week, we defend just as bad as the bottom 4. Sometimes it even looks far easier to score against us. 

    It’s sickening. I’m convinced I’ll never see another final. 

    On the plus side Saints were paying 6 bucks and I went to town.

    Honestly, not playing Vince, Frost, Garlett and or Spargo is due to Goodwins cockiness thinking that we’re a club that can win games without our best 22 on the park and gift games to players who try hard instead of talent. I don’t give a [censored] if Garlett isnt doing well in the VFL. Hannan had 4 disposals and zero marks.

    Out: Petty, Tyson, Hannan, Weideman

    In: Frost, Stretch, Garlett, Vince

    Season over. If Pert comes in and shakes up the joint i won't be upset.

    Even if we beat the Dockers next week (massive question marks now), we have to back up coming from Darwin in a week against a quick Doggies outfit.

    This might end up a 10-12 season, after going into the bye at 8-3. Only Melbourne FMD

    Conceding 18 goals to that rabble is just so pathetic. Goodwin promoting Petty was wrong as he didn't even deserve to be promoted ahead of Frost on form alone. If Goodwin comes out with it's "a game of inches" at the presser, I'll lose it. Admit you effed up at the selection table fwit.

    fritch should always play in the forward line he is good mark and goal kicker. putting him in defense was an absolute waste. Viney should not have been tagging, the last quarter proved that, sad that it took so long for the penny to drop. Trac, Hogan and Tyson another poor performance. How many in a row before we do something about it.  Petty and Smith both selection choices, they really must hate Frost.  Without Max it would have been a 10 goal loss instead of 2 points. another game where we went in thinking we had it won before the ball was bounced, so no need to chase or put in. oh we will hear about the lessons learnt, etc.... when you are behind in a game why the hell do you not man up.

    Season dond..  This one is on you Goodwin!

    Picking Petty ahead of BOG performance from Frost last week, leaving Tyson on a wing to let their runners skim past him, continue to play spuds like ANB who offers absolutely nothing.

    Honestly some serious questions need to be asked of this footy club. Our backline is a shambles with no experience whatsoever after trading Lynden Dunn for a packet of chips who's now one of the top defenders of the game. Oscar is a ordinary footballer and made Fatty McCartin look like Wayne Carey today FFS!

    There is no forward line structure at all. 2 weeks in a row no we continue to not select a crumbling forward! Spargo, jeffy and heck even JKH just to try and add a bit of zip and forward pressure at least! Weideman is useless, watching Josh battle in his 4th game bully our backline was shameful to see.

    And finally our midfield is just way too too heavy! Having Dom Tyson on a wing all day has to be one of the most mind boggling decisions ever? Time to bring Stretch in now and leave him on a wing for the next 10 games to see what he has to offer? At least he will provide run and poise unlike Tyson.

    Another year full of promise, only to be now let down by this shitful club.

    We panicked once the saints showed they were prepared to have a crack. Intensity only came when it was too late.

    Our defense is now a complete rabble .

    Only Melbourne can self implode like this just when things were starting to look up.

    We have some hard ball bulls yes, but no skills or real run.

    Couldnt take a Mark up forward to save ourselves for the second week in a row .

    How come we never  kick to a leading player in the forward line? And where the hell was TMac today ? Did he play?

    Doubly bad considering the other results this weekend. Bombers might beat the Kangas as well... would have left us a game clear, now we need to pull another win from our arse. Year not over but it's bloody close to it

    I won’t question Goodwin, because everytime I do, I get smashed from pillar to post. But we lost this game, like many others over the last 2 years, due to selection and match ups/set ups. 

    Gawn bloody good but

    Supporting this team is dead set like being in an abusive relationship. You want to believe they've changed, you want to trust them, you convince yourself that the worst is behind you. Really you're just an effing idiot and deserve all the abuse that's comes your way.

    Gutted and felt like spewing (truly) as the axe was falling throughout the match and we fell apart.  But the result doesn't surprise me.

    Goody left us exposed at the selection table in too many facets over the last two weeks as mentioned by many on here, myself included, on numerous occasions.

    He fails to get the basics right and doesn't appear capable of fixing the bleeding obvious / adjusting accordingly at selection.  Continues to make the same errors with match ups and incorrect 'run with' roles 

    What's worse he should have learned from previous week errors, in particular some glaringly obvious ones from last week, but didn't.

    My confidence earlier in the year that we will make a finals series and turn this club / culture around under Goodwin wasn"t as strong as some on here but was happy to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he proved me wrong.  After today i have none.

    Time to watch the World Cup.  Belgium looking dangerous!

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
