If you want to see how to do a club rebuild look at the Lions. Go out and get a gun midfielder and recruit a spine. Get a legend Hodge to teach kids what it about. Get a coach from a winning culture. Compare that to us we recruit a coach from the druggies. Say it all

Fagan spent 8 years coaching at Melbourne around our 2000 grand final appearance, is that the winning culture you were talking about?

[censored] me Salem is the only player in this team who should kick a football. 

Who the [censored] is on Zorko? What is the setup? How are our coaches not under pressure?

North lost their coach and are above us on the ladder? Richardson under pressure but St Kilda are also ahead of us. So how then is Goodwin not copping it for this rubbish season?

Fair question...but want get sacked as just signed....

 

That jumper pull on Oliver was right in front of the umpire. [censored] off Nick Foote you [censored]

Will he ever cop any pressure for his terrible coaching? Lack of game plan? Poor set up? Stupid team selections? 

How is Goodwin beyond criticism?

    Aaaaaaand that’s me switching off much like Melbourne for the last 5min of the 3rd quarter until now.

    Why the [censored] is Weid jogging to the ball when it’s kicked to him inside 50?

    Saw this, he does it a lot, as soon as he thinks his out of initial contest he calls it quits instead of pushing to still make a contest of it. Who the [censored] does he think is going to mop it when it lands when his still the closest player? Lazy player

    Recruiters? I am really fed up with the coach too!

    Phark this footy club.

    Weak.

    Pathetic.

    Embarrasing.

    Laughing stock.

    What else?

    Umm...

    Shameful

    No I just think the terms weak, pathetic, embarrassing, laughing stocks and shameful ought to do it.

    [censored] them!


    Just gave up. Can’t mark, can’t defend, can’t kick a goal without them kicking one back. Another win we just [censored] away. I’m cooking dinner now. Not eating late to witness this pitiful effort

    really hope lessons are learned.

    Why is Gawn on the ground? Doesn’t appear 100%. 

    You missed the ankle injury 

    Baker showing why he was delisted from Brisbane without getting a game. Looks a mile off it and has been caught more times than any player I can remember.

    Get Gawn off the field. He’s clearly injured so why bother risking making the injury worse!

    Lions 2 injuries, means you field your best team.

    We’re playing guys like Hore, Hannan, T Smith, Baker, Petty who just aren’t  good enough at the moment.

    Also why do so Melbourne players fly for the mark both ends and nobody roves the pack!


    The only players worthy of today's paycheck. Salem and Fristch because of their use he foot, and May and Frost down back. Jones also did some good things. The rest rubbish, skills and decisions.

    Zero chance of that. That would require Goodwin to actually have a plan B.

    No I saw the ankle injury. I fear another Joel Smith scenario

    At least they are playing Gawn deep forward and not in the ruck. 

    The NQR teasers that will never make the grade to a premiership cup....

    You might care to check he was at Hawthorn when they won three flags in a row

    • 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, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • 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.
