Night of passion with my boyfriend or watching this game in the hopes we could make an effort out of it. Gee Iā€™m an idiot

 

Petracca just did not go hard enough. That sums him up. Christian you are so frustrating. 

Ugh next week is so so important. Massive, the loser will rightly so cop more heat. 

Thank god I was out and only got home to watch the final term.

Ho Hum.
S'pose we'll just have to redeem ourselves next week instead.


 


Come on Dees. Get your s*** in a pile.

Playing like Freo did the year year after they first played finals. Not so much a Premiership hangover as a played finals one.

Prepared to cut KK and May some slack because it's their first game for us, but Tracc seriously needs a spell at Casey 

Pretty clear now with decent sampls size that were just not where we thought we were. List is young and seems to have far more gaps than we realised - WC started the misery and all clubs inc Bris have followed suit and showed us up for pace and with getting behind our back 6 consistently. 

Much work to do to even salvage a top 8 spot let alone any grand delusions at this stage. Could be corrected by later in year but personally I cant see how. Cats went and fixed their holes weā€™ve just viewed WC loss as a bad game and tried to do same thing again without getting any fwd pressure in and a backman who we then play with two of the back men we wanted gone.. woeful and shame but itā€™s a LONG way off letā€™s not kid - weā€™re 8-13 at best Iā€™d say. 

 

Hoped LW was aberration but gut feel was that it wasnā€™t - esp when blues nearly Knocked port off.. oh dear - we need 5-6 feisty pressure players at least over next year or two, or a miracle change in style.

    Too slow. Too unskilled.

    Weā€™re just not that good a side. We can play better than this but who would say our ceiling is as high as a team like Collingwood or WCE. Weā€™re a mile off.

    I also canā€™t help noticing how much smaller we look than the oppo. We look like a bunch of shrimps compared to most sides.

    There will be those that giggle and deride this thread as over -reactive. They'll say we need to review in cold light of tomorrow.

    They're denialist. This is crud.

    Actually...we aspire to crud. This is is devestational.

    Even rubbish is useful if understood.

    I ...just don't understand this club.

    Nicely put. 

    For me this in many ways is more unacceptable than anything in the previous 8 years.

    Now what I just saw is beyond a joke.

    You recall we won two finals last year right?

    I do and then when we came up against an actual contender we got flogged and we havenā€™t won a game since. 

    The team we beat in a final just flogged us like a dead horse. 

    We won nothing in 2018 and 2019 looks like it will be much the same.

    Absolutely squibbed it. He has been awful. Not improving...a footballer going nowhere! I want him to be good but it ainā€™t happening

    Thats was a commitment act.   And he is not totally committed, and so is not fully focused, because of it.

    He will never get any better as long as he does not fully commit to the team and to the game.   Tracca thinks far too much about tracca.

     

    Mind you, he has a few mates doing similar this season.

    Fritta is disappointing so far.  I think Fritta needs a spell at Casey.  He is well off his own standards.

    I would persevere with Hunt, but push him forward.

    I would  drop Petracca now with Fritta, so they both can sort themir heads out with the VFL.

    Its time for Keilty, and Stretch again.

    Keep Lockhart in.

    Sparra back to Casey.

     

    I want to see a quicker running Mfc team next week, against the Bummers.


    Um ...Hawkins had enough time to give away a goal - just stood in the goal square, waited for the second gamer to arrive, and give him the ball for a goal.

    Cones at training do better than we are doing.

    Oliver - star, never stop trying

    Braywhaw, Hibberd, Melksham and a few others

     

    126 to 40 - and we have had nearly DOUBLE the inside 50s...

    Shocking

    The Soft Underbelly is still in charge...

    This Club will go nowhere without more ruthless decisions 

    this is just garbage

    Check out round 4 last year.

    We've had 72 to 48 inside 50s, cats have been super efficient, we will be fine.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      ļ»æA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the ā€œFuchsias.ā€ They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturdayā€™s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but Iā€™ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demonsā€™ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young manā€™s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourneā€™s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nationā€™s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
