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.

    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
