If you want any insight into why we are where we are, just have a listen to this garbage on the MFC website.

1:01 ... No hurt at all about the result. "we're really positive"... "we know what we can do"... Like you have done against all the top 8 teams you played pal ????..  Your fans are certainly not positive right now.  

1:45 "Im loving footy at the moment"........ This is after a loss against a major rival for a top 8 spot.  4 and 4 after the bye. 

If there is an interview with less awareness on the interwebs atm, i have not seen it.

Wipe that fuggin grin off your dopey face. The fans are hurting, even if the players are not.

Stop kidding yourself and start giving your all. As a team.  Otherwise, we have wasted another year.

    Harmed was our best player today, so he gave his all. 

    Should he drop to his knees and cry?  The lost a game of football to Sydney not Gold Coast.  They have to bounce back, so there is no point wallowing.

    Interviews of players should only be conducted of the players with nooses around their necks after games where the fans aren’t happy. 

     

    Harmes was a Melbourne supporter growing up. The game was a loss sure, but at the end of the day he is enjoying his footy as he is playing well, for the most part the team is playing well and at the end of yhexday to suggest players don’t care is out right ridiculous

    "Harmed was our best player today, so he gave his all"  

    Irrelevant. We lost. Its a team game, not an individual sport. he was smiling and saying how positive the team was, despite the fact we have lost every single game against teams above us. ZERO awareness

    .Should he drop to his knees and cry?  The lost a game of football to Sydney not Gold Coast.  They have to bounce back, so there is no point wallowing

    He was smiling and saying he loves footy atm... we are at risk of missing finals and he is "LOVING HIS FOOTY" He is a bloody clown if thats what he honestly believes.

    Nothing illustrates why we are a pretender more than the quotes in this interview. Players are too easily satisfied.

    Harmes was excellent today. I dont care what he says post match. When it counted on the field James harmes stepped up. Shame not many joined him.

    I haven’t heard it yet but reading that it does wreak a bit of individualism. Will have a look now.

    Yeah, they should all pick out individual moments and criticize each other and tear the team apart. Of course the coaches are going to try and lift the teams spirit to keep confidence up. No doubt they've been getting talked to and interviewed straight after.

  • Quote

    Just watched it now. Look it wasn’t too bad, he had a general positive outlook which is something you probably want to portray to the fans in these times. Honestly don’t think he meant any of those comments flippantly.

    I saw Gus Brayshaw jingling his keys as he walked to his car after the game. Clearly too happy after the loss. Drop him.

    Brilliant and spot on. These are the blokes we are holding our hopes on? Its naivity.

    They will never see it the way we do or feel it the way we do from a pure love of the club perspective.

    A player used to drive me up the wall because when anything went wrong, he would look at his shoes and betray his anxieties and his lack of confidence.

    We are 12 and 8 and looking to make some noise in September - why would they be dispondent or angry? They have a job to do - regroup and take it up to WCE next week.

    the only noise they'll be making is cracking open some tinnies watching the finals from the couch

    I don't usually give a damn what players say in the media. It's usually all to do with media training to avoid saying something that embarrasses them or the club. But this is pretty bad. I just got done saying how good he was, and how he's becoming a 4 quarter player we need with attributes a coach can use. Then he says all that. Clearly thrilled he's coming of age and not really that stressed about the result. Bloody daft.

    People moan that the players are mentally weak, then you want them to come out and speak negatively about the game and how it went.  make up your mind.  Part of this trying to get better at the games that count is about having confidence - individual and team.  They know they have to get up next week, negativity will not help that cause.

    If you think the players aren't hurting after a loss, you are wrong.  But it is part of their job - a part we don't see and don't often think about, to get themselves back up and ready to fight it out again next week.

     

    Yip - we lost - mainly because we couldn't kick a goal - kick a few of those goals and we win easy - we had the pressure.  We really aren't far off.     We still have two more games to play = two more chances to make finals.  I don't think it's time for the players to be negative.

    BTW - How ridiculously lucky were three of those Sydney goals?

    So... the issue isn’t how Harmes performed during the match, but his attitude after the match..?

    Right.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
