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.

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
