All VFL standard footballers. Some may get there but right now there is a lot of battlers above.

A good team has to carry some players and thatโ€™s where role players can shine. Usually itโ€™s only when 3 or 4 of the above get a game.ย  No team however can carry a dozen fringe players like we are and can expect to compete.

Unfortunately when the heat was on today, GWS looked faster, tougher and hell of a lot more skilful than our mob.ย 

There cue was well and truly in the rack for the last and I take nothing from that.

Even with all the effort in the world you need some skill across the group and there is so many in that team who have minimal

We are terrible in every part of the ground except the 5m radius in which Gawn is standing.ย

from 2008 to 2014 my general rule of thumb was 'opposition doesn't crack 100 points that's sorta kinda a little bit almost but not quite a win, right?'

that's almost a win today

tally ho dees!

I prefer the Brendan Bolton school of thought, if you only count the last quarter we won that game easily.ย 


Scoreline completely flattered us due to last 15 mins when Giants had put the cue in the rack.

Up there with some of the worst quarters ive seen for a long time.

Skill errors aside (which single handily cost us 9 goals) - the complete lack of confidence/trust etc is mind boggling. What teh hell has happened to this team from last year?

Something isnt right.

From a Prelimย  to the worst team in the comp. From the highest scoring team to the lowest.ย  All in one preseason.

A pathetic club.

Rock bottom. Very poor games from: TMac, Jones, Viney, OMac, Fritsch, Spargo, Lockhardt, Oliver, Harmes. Where the hell was Preuss, for starters. Why does our team play 'bombs' when there is so much space to target going forward? Wasted year, wasted game, wasted membership, wasted coaching efforts.ย 

They had 2 on the bench in the last.ย 

Kicking 7 goals in a dead quarter doesnโ€™t change the result and if Goodwin uses it as a positive he is treating us all like fools.ย 


We are hopeless.ย 

I take nothing out of the last quarter especially when gws were already on the plane home.ย 

When the heat was on our cupboard was bare.ย

At least I can understand this post.

Can someone please confirm that we didn't trade our first round pick this year?ย

Dear Mr. Goodwin, what are you doing?

Tell us what is really going on Goodwin...

Fair dinkum -- if he comes out and says what a great last half / quarter etc we had, showed signs etc then I may well return my membership and not renew it until we get a coach with balls.

"our brand" blah blah blah ย .... unfortunately our brand is weakย uncontested footy with not even the flair we occasionally showed last year to make up for abysmal inability to convert I 50s.

We've all heard about "coach killing" games... well we just saw a "fan killing" game.

There was not one positive from that game

We didnโ€™t and we also canโ€™t as we have traded the last two and thatโ€™s the limit set by the AFL. We have to use our first round pick... on a slow unskilled inside mid. Thems the rules.ย

Job is on the line. I donโ€™t care about a 4 year contract.ย 

A Coach has to be able to do the job...

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourneโ€™s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.ย

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
