I knew when we weren’t converting at the start of the 3rd we were done. They’ve had 6 inside 50s for 5 goals, went way too tall for the conditions and our midfield is letting them get simple kicks in there. 

Absolutely disgusting efforts inside our forward 50 all night, TMac has been awful, Weiderman (who simply HAD to kick his) mostly unsighted, Melksham continues to look off the pace, and Petracca mostly useless. 

But ultimately our deficiencies in defence has made this an ugly night. There’s no logical set up, no one marshalling the troops into position, they look like headless chooks. I don’t think it’s possible for me to be more [censored] off with such a pathetic effort.

    Next week’s game will be one for the highlights reel ?

    We have the worst defence in the league. It’s not just the personnel it’s the structures. 

    Every time Geelong goes forward it’s like a sunny day with a dry ball.

    Annoying. But hardly the difference.

    It does not include the ones we should have been paid.

    Going to be a very long season.

    At least three games shorter than 2018.

    The bastards pump us up, give us hope then serve up garbage.

    We've kicked 27 points across the last 4 quarters.

    If you include the PF, we're looking at 4 full goalless quarters.

    In our past 3 matches, we've gone the equivalent of an entire match without a goal.

    And that's with 1 quarter left to play.

    We have been found out and we refused to analyse where it started

    Well let’s be honest. 

    At Half Time in Last Years Preliminary Final, we were Goalless, but the coach refused to review it. 

    I would have spent weeks pulling that game apart

    I bet lots of other Clubs took a very close look at it. 

    Over to you Goodwin....

    He doesn't own the responsibility. Even last week... let's blame something else .

    You can understand the team being underdone re fitness but what's the excuse about poor basic skills & bad decision making?

    Geelong are just so crisp & accurate even with a team of so many new players in bad conditions.

    One prelim finals appearance in god knows how long and yep, that'll do us...

    Sucks that we always have to play down at this s-$#hole place.  Unfair. When did Filth last play here?

    Sack Goodwin.  Everything that's gone wrong was blindingly obvious last season and he did nothing to fix it. 

    No chance he’s going to be sacked, but seriously there needs to be a plan B. At the moment we’re down on pace and skill. Team selection needs to be about team balance. Last year we had Tyson on the wing. Now it’s Jones. Chunk has a lot of heart but he has never ever been fleet of foot.

    Jade Rawlings leaving is evident.

     

    Siren and heads down. I hate asking this question but where is the leadership from Jones? At least Viney had a crack early

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
