I hope Goodwin comes out and says he disgusted with them all.

Never. Going. To. Happen.

Were on a "journey" and are building a "brand" remember?

    Goodwin is safe for 2020  (cause we cannot pay him out and just has enough credits in bank for 2020 but will be under enormous pressure next year.

    Fun fact: Every team that has sacked their coach is above us on the ladder.

    *Potentially can included Adelaide in that if you believe the rumours.

    I hope Bartlett says he’s disgusted with the coaches.

    He won't though. He'll talk about all the progress we're making, then be really vague about the changes he, as coach, made during the game.

    Thought we'd get up for this one :(

    Boy, some work to do. 

    Also, no Bruce and Carlisle and saints lose that game.

    They scored 82 points from turnovers.

    How do you win games of footy giving them 14 goals?

    Shell of a team. Hard to know what to say.

    The forward line we had out there today didn't have a single established forward, yet alone a key forward. Throw into that players like Baker, the Wagners and an underdone backline and that's about what you get. Lever's 3 clear kicks out from the back line that ended up with the opposition about summed up where we are. 

    Their 13.6 from our turnovers says it all.

    Hard to see too many positives. Oliver, to his credit, worked his way back into it. Petracca and Fritsch were very good for a half, Harmes did OK when moved forward, Max was Max ... apart from that, struggling.

    Imagine this, if Dew got sacked, the Suns would probably win a few games and you know where that leaves us!

    Reading the game day thread it sounds like O Mac was the reason for the loss. Then I remember I watched the game and we were shithouse Bar a few. 

    After the first 5 minutes the saints dominated all aspects of the game. They should have won by 30. And they have 8 of their best 22 out injured. 

    Go [censored] yourselves demons. I’m sick of this [censored]!!

    The worst loss of the year. On the back of last weeks talk and the quality of opposition (or lack thereof) it was a pathetic effort. The lack of care in disposal, decision making and accountability were just horrible. Half these blokes would struggle at A grade ammo's let alone AFL with the pathetic skill levels. Just embarrassing really. 

    After all these years, its hard not to care, but I'd like to be able to forget they exist and the  AFL for that matter. That was another dog awful standard! The audacity to ask for upgrade's for seats and memberships for the next 3 games when they serve up that [censored] week on week  this season, they can go EAD.

    Is it really going to matter. We have destroyed that many 1st round picks that it will just be part of the norm at MFC.

    OSCAR McDonald, Wagner's, ANB get the [censored] out of this football club you spuds!

    I have been a Goodwin but not anymore! I am done!

    Nothing positive to come put of this dreadful performance. 

    I reckon they were the three I identified as well Dazzle. McDonald how no reason to be wearing a Melbourne jumper. The Wagners are pointless in terms of us going forward and ANB is seemingly in reverse.

    may be a win against swans  but really doubt that we will win another game which is shattering..  what else is new

    Omac is well qualified to wear a Melbourne  jumper.

    He definitely will be and GC will love getting him with their compo pick, pick 3 and Melbourne choose..... an inside mid who can’t kick!

    No improvement tonight at all. Goody better not use the improvement line. 

    Won’t win another game this year.

    We may get the number 2 pick. This is not going to solve the problem. It is much deeper than that

    I love a scapegoat as much as the next bloke, but OMac was fine tonight.

    Goody on the other hand.

    Is Goodwin running drills of handballing blindly out of defence? 

    Also - We've had a season to sort some kind of system going inside, regardless of who's down there.

    Must hunt someone who is capable at the wheel - NOW!

    One player will not make that much difference  we need  at least 3 good new players

    I think this is the worst I've felt since the Need days. Being there brought back all the damaging memories of those days.

     

    I hope the leadership of the club knows the damage that's being done.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
