WC against this awful Defence of ours will slaughter us. GWS, don't even get me started. This is it folks. Another off season of embarrassment.

Oh well. There's always the cricket.

 

They are averaging 83 points a game, yet we've conceded 77 points in 2 quarters against them.

Our defence has gone so far backwards under Goodwin. It was the one strength we developed under Roos and Goody has seemingly come in and torn it up.

We have zero leadership. Zero match winners. We will continue to be a nothing club for a long long time if this doesn’t change. 

There isn’t one player out there who I trust to lift and get us home. Not one.

    We've blown it again. Psychology is the last hurdle. And the hardest one

    I felt like a traitor tipping Sydney. Clearly it was just smart. We don’t have the composure to match really good sides who apply immense pressure. The game could’ve been over at 1/4 time if we had more composure.

    Trying to channel my inner wiseblood but feel like this game is our pivot. Win and we’re right in the hunt, lose and the pressure gets worse. We’ve been so poor under pressure I can’t see this year ending any different than last year.

    No leadership. Jones, Gawn, Lewis, TMac have shown very little.

    Harmes, VD Berg look like the only ones that care.

    [censored] we have a lot of lazy playees: trac Jones Tyson Garlett Salem hang your head in shame you lazy asses

     

    Nathan Jones you arent a leader never have been, today is another example

    they have more disposals, more contested possession, more contested marks, more uncontested marks, more tackles, more clearances, more stoppages.

    they are 2 players down.

    we haven't played finals in 11 seasons.

    Another year, another missed golden opportunity when it presents itself.

    Weak as [censored]

    Sometimes you do need to win ugly. Not everything has to be coast to coast stuff.

    Accurate kicking and progressive advance into the fifty had gotten the Swans where they are.

    Exactly, they are picking their way through the zone like playing checkers and we seem helpless to stop it.

    I admire your confidence but I think you’re drunk and you should go home ?‍♀️

    I reckon Goodwin would have gone ballistic in the huddle.  I'm expecting some fire in this quarter.

    Also, the one thing that has annoyed me about our gameplan today is how often Hannebery has gotten so many clearances coming off the square.  I feel like they have two or three extra numbers at every centre bounce and we've done nothing to counteract it.

    Cheat.

    Deadset cheat. He’s either a cheat or unable to do his job. Either way he has to go.

    How do we lodge formal complaints regarding umpires? If I don’t get a forma method to do it, I’m going to have to go rogue and find where he lives...

    Carlton bearing dockers. I know the dockers are average but Carlton win this it will show us to be the joke of the Comp

    Does Jones have the flu? I hope so, otherwise he should be dropped.

    agree - goodwin’s manic pressure play on at all costs works against crappy teams but good teams pick us apart.  he needs to instil this into the team or next years his last season coaching.

    They are +1 because Jones isn’t getting to contests.

    Really? I have, at least twenty times this decade alone. Go Dees.

    Nah. More disappointed, sure. About the overall direction of the club. But we never really had a good list before. We do now, and we still embarrass ourselves. We have the best ruckman, the best young mid, the highest scoring team in the comp by about 150 points and still can't win an important game. We're paying all these players, and can only really afford one more (Gaff maybe), and what difference will that make? Turn us from 9th to top 4? No way.

    I've never been this angry because we're supposed to be better now.

    Any one blaming the umpire seriously pay attention to the fact we are mentally weak and don’t put in the hard yards when it’s tough. 

    Blame that.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
