Thank you. I have said that for weeks. The guy is scared sh-tless. Play him and you deserve to lose every week.

He must have been involved in at least 10 negative incidents tonight, any one of which if he had tried, we would have won.

I feel sorry for Weid because he should never have been in that position. He was nearly crying.

Jeffy couldn't give a flying f-ck.

 

But still kicks 3 goals???? Yeah right!

We played some great footy tonight and should have banked a 6 or 7 goal win. 

We are starting to look good again ...except no one is a reliable goal kicker . in fact everyone seems like they’re totally [censored] themselves pre kick. .How much do we miss the melk ? 

Such a painful season... every week offers another way to add to it. 

 

We are now forced to go to the draft as no one will want to come to us in Trade Period after our dismal year so far.

I am coming to terms with the fact we will never be any good, a flag is all but a dream and will never be realised!

I just want to know why.

Please a kicking coach

sports psychologist ?

send Ray Donovan in to put the frighteners on omac and Garlett fmd

goodwin to give players massive cuddles 

Yes, give a man a ball... teach him to kick ...

We have a closing culture that can't be broken...I guess 55yrs its solidly ingrained!

Our leadership is a real concern & too many VFL std players.

Once again the script followed wonderfully of how to break the hearts of its members & supporters!

I miss the Milk too...

Hogan would have kicked one of those 3 chances and so would Watts.


Two of the last three game we squander a solid lead in the last quarter to lose. Other game we kick seven in the last  quarter when game is already lost. Absolutely faaarked in the head team. 

Supporting this club is such hard work. Is there any other that comes close? Maybe Saints or Freo.

Every Melbourne supporter knew the crows would get back into the game. We've seen it dozens (more?) of times over the years. There was a sense of inevitability about it. How is it you change the players, coaches, gameplan, ground whatever - and the MFC still manages still throw games away in heartbreaking fashion.

My dad said he stopped watching at half time, couldn't enjoy the lead we had because he knew it would get eroded and too stressful to watch the 2nd half. My wife (Geelong supporter) said she can't watch Melbourne games anymore, she was getting more upset than I was.

Please, please, please...teach Melbourne footballers how to kick set shots at goal...FFS

Wasn't it nice to see the South Australian umpire have a cosy chat with Lynch about why he gave a free kick against him right before the siren of one of the quarters (can't remember which one, the whole game is a blur). So impartial! BLAH!!!

Low blow - you shouldn't go there...

Garlett dropped that mark in the pocket in the last quarter because he sensed that he might get contact he didn't & we missed an opportunity 2 get an easy goal. I am over him squibbing it. There was another time he didn't want 2 pick it up because he doesn't want contact.  I feel JKH is the same. Tim Smith missed his goal because of pressure. Weed because he got 2 close 2 the man on the mark.

Soft as ....

Salem had gastro .... seems to have spread to the whole team, NB Garlett who urgently needs a change of underwear.

LOL 2019 is the year that keeps on giving.

Glad there were much better signs, but we really cooked that last quarter! Tim Smith & Hunt missed the easiest of set shots.

Weid also but it shouldn't have got to that point.

Still pumped for next year. We will likely get a pick in the range of 4-7 which could net us another high end talent.

Go into next year with a full pre-season, softer draw, May & Lever back plus hopefully a few more high pressure forwards and we will rocket back into the top 4.

Yes. We have done so well with high draft picks over the years. Other than Oliver and Brayshaw do we have any stars from top end picks?

Jenkins is big unit but I am sure you would have brought him down. We lost it in front of our own goal. 

Oscars bigger than you think

He wasnt very good tonite but I dont get all the ire given the other macs horrible game.

By far worse.

Goaless.

Tackleless.

One mark.

 

Edited by leave it to deever

I’d love to ask Pert how much he predicts this season will cost us in membership and sponsorship revenue.

We will be held accountable, and it’s such a waste.

Salem would’ve been winning the bnf until injured

Are you serious? Have you ever played the bloody game? He is a squib of the highest order. His gutless play must drive his team mates mad. It certainly does to nearly every Dees fan I know.

So if a bloke gets 3 Joe the Gooses and pulls out of every contest, you think he has played well. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

you Reckon Todd Viney will be helping with goal kicking at training this week???

I’m not rejoining until there is a kicking coach (one that has a positive effect anyway), some accountability

  • 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.
