If we are in this position next year the blame falls with Roos and Jackson!

Why?  They didn't finish the job!  Our club, our football team, the team we love so much, the team who has not won a premiership since 1964, is enough reason for this to be so important.  This game was born in Melbourne, we are one of the pioneers of the sport, this sport we treat as a religion.  Paul and Peter, you will have let us down badly, if we are not in a better position than when you left us, and sadly, at this time this is how it is.

    They handed over a profitable football club with a finals ready list. they 100% did their job. and i think we should all be extremely grateful because people so easily forget how bad things were under Mark Neeld.

    Wow ? and to think some people hassle me on here for certain posts. 

    This one is right up there...

     

    How about The MFC take responsibility for itself and actually learn to fight for the most beneficial outcomes....

    IMO Roos would have delivered a flag by now or at least in 2019. But not his fault for current predicament.

    Blaming the past is a favorite demon supporter pastime. Right now, the blame sits no where else but with the current Football department, and by that i mean, coaches and players. They  have failed miserably this year. and teh flat earthers around here can blame others but its on them. And they should know it.

    Peter Jackson did an excellent job turning around the MFC's financial situation in my opinion.

    I wouldn't mind Paul Roos hanging around more, however his contracted finished, and he has his own life to live and is back involved doing media stuff now.

    Nevertheless, in the end the buck stops with Simon Goodwin. If we are in the same position this time next year then heads will roll...sad but true. I genuinely hope Simon Goodwin can turn things around as I am certainly sick of being disappointed.

    There has to be collective responsibility for the loss of Howe and Dunn.  There has to be collective responsibility for the lack of outside speed.  We also blinked when negotiating with Adelaide (2 first rounders in a super-draft), and to a lesser extent Freo.

    Roos and Jackson were both appointed for a limited time, after the AFL intervened.

    We were lucky to have them both for the time we did.

    The foundations were laid by them, and its now up the the replacements to follow through.

    None of what is happening this year is their fault.

    Nothing.

    I definitely agree there.

    Which is why I believe that a large number of MFC members will be demanding a total in depth review of the football department at this year's 2019 MFC AGM. If enough of us make a big deal out of it then it will happen.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
