A loss to Carlton ...

... would complete the humiliation. 

Preliminary finalists to bottom 2 just 15 games later. If you can find a worse capitulation by any club in the AFL era of the past 30 years please let us know. I can’t recall one. 

Heads must roll if we lose this and begin competing for the wooden spoon with the Bad News Suns. If not Goodwin then a slew of names within the footy department responsible for the debacle.

This situation is a disgrace to the Melbourne Football Club. To its history, to those who once toiled to make it great and to the loyal members and supporters who help fill its coffers.

The people responsible for this disgrace are not fit to represent the jumper. They should hand in their resignation papers tomorrow.

This is as bad as it gets people.

Wake up.

    it doesn't matter

    it's no different to our recent history

    under northey is the only time we were a consistently good side, and even then it was only for five seasons

    we've been a routinely appalling side for coming up six decades; it's hardly inconsistent

    Carlton are playing a no nonsense style of footy and it’s working for them.

    We’ll lose by 4 goals.

    Carlton should've beaten us in 2017 when Lewis threw a punch at Cripps and shifted the momentum. The year before in 2016, we had a chance to make finals and Carlton smashed us in round 21. We've never really been as far ahead of them as we all would've liked to think. It all clicked last year against weaker teams, but the weaker teams have improved far more this year. Preliminary Finals, yeah we caught a break with a month of footy with two dead-rubbers and games against two stale old champion sides that needed a hard reset because they lost to a team like us. Heck, even 2017 had better wins against Adel, WCE & Collingwood. 2018 we actually slid against the best teams if you look at how we played v Collingwood and couldnt beat a top 8 team all year.

    So I really don't think a loss to Carlton takes us back any further than we are. We already know that Carlton have been able to take it up to us in all but 1 year of the past 5. We've always played dumb chaotic footy, nothing changes with a loss to the Blues.

    I'm only repeating what's already been said numerous times: how can so many of our players have gone backward 're their 'ability'.  TMac, Gus, Viney, Trac, Fritta, Weird, ANB, ... Not one player who was on our list last year is playing better footy this year (save for Max who should win the Bluey Truscott in a canter). Keep Goody by all means, but sack all bar Rawlings. And we'll be worse next year regardless of any changes - there's zip coming through. I'm gutted (50 year member).

    Mark my words, Carlton will absolutely pummel us. I'm talking 10+ goals. They are due. And so are we. You can just smell it in the air. They are playing confident football and have played good footy at times this year. We are uninspired, down on confidence, poorly coached, and inept. 

    Jumanji drums will be beating for Goodwin this time next week.

    Carlton will be without Cripps and C Curnow. If we lose to them it will be up there as one of our worst losses in decades. Absolutely gutting how this year has turned out for us. Pathetic.

    Sometimes a situation is too nuanced and complicated for some to be able to 'chew' it properly and digest it, and so they just throw up straight away.

    Looks like it's 'Hyperbole Round' on Demonland this week. Gee these theme rounds are getting very specific now hey?

    No, no, this is good!

    Maintain the insignificance so we get Sunday arvo games on Mother’s Day against GCS

    Yep, I love no queues at the gate or at the beer counters, sleepy security staff paying more attention to the one - legged seagull than the bag they’re checking

    The rostering of footy commentators that lament getting Dees’ games, knowing full well they’ve got to trump up the excitement through their calling for the 25 people watching at home

    No, a loss against Carlton wouldn’t matter....why would anyone want to disrupt this serene, idyllic picture of mediocrity?

    Problem was it was still us.

    I'd be more concerned if we have a narrow, uninspiring victory over Carlton that allows Goodwin to keep on pretending that all is well (see wins over Hawthorn, GC17 and Fremantle for precedents).

    At least there is no sugar coating the result when we lose.

    Unfortunately, this is just the type of game we will lose. Load up on Carlton at the head to head.

    It’s ok, we’re red-hot favourites. What could possibly go wrong?

    We beat them by 109 points last year, they wouldn't have forgotten that.

    If they beat us by more than 5 goals i will unleash.

    We have by far the worst coaching panel in the AFL alongside the Phoenix Suns.

    Spend some [censored] money Pert and Co. Why do we sell these game to the NT for then.

    we loose to Carlton and the assistant coaches simply shouldn't bother coming in on Monday.

    I'd say we'd sack Goodwin to but can't see the club doing that this season.

    I assume we'll start booking blokes in my surgery so we might start as underdogs in this game if thats the case.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
