    The umpires must have a line bet on and just checked the score

    Haha i noticed it as well.

    Sadly we just turned it over. Not even umpire help can save us

    I love how they keep gushing about the Stack bump.  That's right, tried to run through a bloke running back with the flight.  So courageous.  Did so much damage that Jack's already back on the ground.

    Game over. Season over. At least it was a better defensive effort tonight really does feel like we have gone back to year 2 of Roos' coaching tenure having to sacrifice all offensive to not leak goals. Really dissapointed in how this season has gone but there is just no coming back from here.

    Let's give some fridge players bigger roles, ie stretch, t smith, baker, keilty, petty and see what they can offer. Start planning for 2020. 

    Steven may had better be in the best [censored] shape of his life come pre season 

    Backline did ok, defensive effort of the mids was pitiful.

    We have gone back 5 years in the space of 6 months.

    Player's have gone backwards and so have the coaches.

    Heads have to roll, players' need a rocket (but not from the coaching department, as they seem to have no clue), coaching group needs fresh blood and new ideas, Goodwin needs to be held accountable, and the board needs a massive wrap over their knuckles for re-signing Goodwin way too early in the season.

    Simply unacceptable.

    At least Viney is back out

    Where do we get our own Stack?

    I wish our boys would play like their jobs depended on it. If I was this garbage at my job, there is no way I'd keep my job.

    Goody can talk about connection all he wants, but we don't even have the basic skills in check.

    No dangerous tackle on Hibberd from Martin. Thanks umps. Then a nice elbow in the head to top it off and still nothin. 

    Umps have been hopeless but that’s not why we lost.

    Haha sine 1910 we have not scored less than 40 points against RFC.

    MFC 2019 setting new standards !!!

    "we will see a better performance" Goodwin said.

     

    5 goals for the game, smashed physically, and 2/3 the tackles even after chasing tail all night.

     

    We are Melbourne.

     

     

     

    Pls move Misson on.  Too many fellas that should be able to burst free from congestion or opponent just have nothing at all and so easily caught.  This early in the season we should have come bursting out of the blocks running on top of the ground yet apart from Frosty we've shown nothing in this area!

    I err on the side of optimism and I think you said you wouldn't panic until we were 5-0, but this is not good mate.

    I've seen some Monty Python pics today, but if you can be optimistic after today.... I think there are some Black Knight pics coming your way :)

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
