    wow, after the 4 previous weeks i had thought we were turning a corner after the first quarter, unfortunately, the turn turned into a u-turn and we were back playing the same crappy lack of style football. Players not prepared to run, to chase, and only prepared to throw an arm out to tackle. we had the same number of players as they had, but wherever the ball went we were outnumbered, except for those rare occasions when all of our players were fighting each other for the same ball. we kicked the ball out of defence to the tigers time and time again, who is it that our midfield or forwards were never there, is that part of our game plan to have all of our players in their forward line, or just stupid play. Whichever stop it.  need to seriously drop some players send a message that if you cannot complete then you will not represent the melbourne football club. they had younger players who ALL did better than most of our team, why because they were hungry for success, our players kind of think they have made it so dont need to put as much now...

    In the rooms after the game, Maxxy said we played for 90 minutes? What game was he at? He said our defensive contests held up, as well. Yeah, we didn't get blown off the park (thanks, Tigers), but we lost by 43 points!

    Yeah I wondered if they were pulling cones in the shed before the game. What's happened to them.

    Skills, running, systems. Gone

    Stretch, Hore, Melksham, Smith and McDonald (actually defended well against Lynch) all hold your head up high.

    Weideman can take his 650k and [censored] right off. In all seriousness, he is severely out of form. 

    Fritsch just absolutely panicks down back. Leave him up forward Goody ffs!

    You can't be out of form if you've never actually been in form.

    2 decent-ish games does not a player make (keeping in mind the Geelong game he really only kicked 2 in the first and one in the last, was invisible in between).

    He might get angry but a lot of this is sitting on his shoulders. Our game plan, systems, cohesion is [censored]. Professional, full time footballers playing together like they are a group of wheat farmers up in the Wimmera who are lucky to get to training once a week during harvest time. 

    Really liking that metaphor earl haha made me laugh. Thank you

    The great thing about this club is that I'm so broken by it that nothing else can hurt me. 

    Need to look at positives. I'm indestructible.

    Well based on what I've seen this year, clearly AVB and Mitch Hannan are the best players on our list.

    i thought we played better than last week.

    Weiderman is a prima donna. Wont hold his ground to get in position, wont bust into a pack. Wont look like he will grip the footy.

    Thats not out of form, thats not having a go.

    The forwards are pathetically bad but the midfielders are nearly as bad, they are always looking for dinky handballs, they muck around with it. Jones I’m afraid could be finished, he NEVER gets free, Oliver gets the ball but little handballs go nowhere, Brayshaw gets easy kicks that go nowhere, reckon he turns the ball over 80% of time.

    The forwards are no good but they’ve got no chance if ball comes in with no direction except straight into hands of opposition, clearly there is something drastically wrong at the club, don’t know what it is but Goodwin has a hell of a lot of explaining to do, something needs to change, people need to be removed, someone needs to pay for the incredible downfall from last year!!

    Wow Nick Vlastuin 28 disposals down back. We could’ve drafted him but instead drafted Jimmy Toumpas.

    I’ve been patient but that was absolutely putrid, we have major issues, just shocking, mini league kids have better skills 

    I think most of us have been more than patient Febes. We had the chance to step up in 2019 and be taken seriously. We’ve royally [censored] that chance and have gone back to being the joke of the AFL. Why would anyone continue to follow this club?

    I have never seen a team kick blindly out of traffic as much as this one. There are only two options: lightening handball, usually too strong for the receiver about 50cm away; and second, dump the ball forward by foot without having looked first. 

    Is this personnel or structure? It has to be the latter, as we've all seen them work their way down the field with quick and accurate ball movement.

    We need both those players back, we need Lever and May in the backline too

    It gets worse. Max saying there was improvement.

    Haha thats funny.

    I deleted the MFC website from my Chrome shortcuts so i wouldn't be tempted to read/hear the absolute garbage the club comes up with after losing. This just tells me i made the correct decision.

    We came out of the game with a lower percentage than we started with, and it was already one of the lowest in the league.

    Improvement, Melbourne style.

    Comedic gold

    Goody needs to get an explanation from the umpires boss on the massive inconsistencies between how we are umpired compared to the opposition every week. It is ridiculous.

    My mates and I have a bet every week on how quickly the Umpires are blamed. You just cost me the pot. FFS we were [censored]. Two of my mates are tiger supporters and had plenty to [censored] about . One of their forwards took two marks within range and neither were paid. We need to stop blaming the umpires and start looking at our players.

    We are soft and lazy. 

    The Richmond Way - tough grit. Knock on.  Shepherd. 1%s. Tackle hard. Man the mark.  Chase. Run and run and run and run. Smother.  Stand up.  Deliver the footy. Run to create ahead of the footy.

    Give me a break, both teams played on the same ground with the same ball.

    i understand ANB is one of our fastest players, has the best endurance. has anyone seen any of that this year. All i saw was him running around in circles half chasing tiger players. he got a luck goal, because he was so far away from his player at the time who would if he had got the ball would have sent the tigers into attack. I do not see why this guy keeps getting games. he was dropped for a poor effort a couple of weeks ago and gets a recall based on what. .

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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?
