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.

Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
