It’s pretty sad when you arrive at the point where you are that starved of sporting team supporting success, where you almost wish your team would just shut the doors and put you out of your misery..

I’m almost at that point with the MFC. After 43 years of ups and mostly downs, the adrenaline injection I got during finals last year turned me into a success starved junkie....now Im chasing a taste of the good stuff again...

I fear I’m not going to see it again, at least in the short term.

It really does ruin my weekends. I wish I didn’t care so much...

100% sums it for me.

Decent forwards? Huh? They're average at best.

Next week it's Lynch and Riewoldt. Every team knows who to target. If Oscar plays 186 isn't out of the question.

Sorry, did you make a typo. I assume you mean Twiggy Lever. His turn overs directly cost us 4 goals. Pathetic. What was the losing margin?

Our highest paid player can't hit a target 25 metres away. Gets a free pass.

Our highest paid player can't hit a target 25 metres away. Gets a free pass. 

If the club gets a pass for injuries this year from you, then surely Lever who is 3 games in from a 12 months knee reco gets the same luxury?

suggests there is a disconnect and/or lack of intent in regards to the gameplan. In some regard it does come back to the coach. We know how good they can be because they were literally ranked 1st at one point. They are now playing and coaching themselves into the ground. Astonishing.

When the turnovers come down to skill errors and poor execution (eg Salem's floater to Brayshaw) I think that comes down more to execution than gameplan.

Goodwin has things he needs to work on too and if he doesn't he'll have a short coaching career but it's hard to blame him for the constant turnovers and skill errors.

Yes and no.

Yes for game rust and taking time to pick up the speed of the game.

No for missing targets less than 30 metres away under no pressure as result of a woeful kicking technique.

Aan issue that by the by was evident in his first 10 or so underwhelming games for the dees before his injury (coming off his best season).

Putrid? We lost by 3 goals and that only blew out from a neck and neck game in the last 10 minutes. Saints aren't the best team going but to act like we got hammered from pillar to post is garbage. Save that for next week when it actually happens

Goodwin: We were outplayed for majority of the night. In the end, we were lucky to be in it. 

Even the coach doesn't support your pollyanna viewpoint

Membery loves playing against us. He has kicked 26 goals against us. His next favourite beetch club is Carlton with 16. Bruce does well too. We are third on his beetch list behind North and Essendon.

Conveniently didn’t show a replay of this on fox

i don’t even care. Pick 2 is better than beating the saints. A win against Collingwood is enough for me for the rest of the year.

Apologist number 2 rears his head. 

You clearly didn't watch.  We were putrid. Gifted them 14 goals. We were 3 goals up after 3m and were hammered in nearly every stat. 

Nah mate I watched from siren to siren. I just used two eyes instead of one.

Mate we were never a chance. That Saints aren't that good is a GOOD thing because if we play like that vs Richmond we will lose by 20 goals.

That was a putrid performance. We may not have been *hammered* persay, but we were begging for the Saints to hammer us.

I hope like hell the optimists are right and next year with a fit list everything will be bloody hunky dory again. God I hope you guys are right. What the hell do we do if last year was the aberration and 2019 is normal programming resuming?! 

 

They will find more excuses ofc.

Ok so in that case we can agree that our awful skills across the board have nothing to do with injuries, and just simply putrid footballers? 

So within 12 months mths this club has managed to reverse all the improvements since 2014 when Roos & Jackson too over to rebuild the last rabble. We are a sick footy club once again & yet we hear zero from President or CEO & they expect to accept this basket case of a season... the silence is deafening & good luck signing even 1/2 of the 50k members. Clubs sell hope & improvement. We have gone backwards by 5 years!

Make no mistake.
We are on every key forwards beech list.
We make 'em all look like thoopastars.

Too true to be funny ! Sad but correct 

I think we might finish 19th. Given our playing list, Selections not only this week,

But long before and our lack of Footy Nous and  shizzzen Captains and questionable  selections.... Not Too mention coaching! Yeah about Right!! Yep 19TH well done Hip Hip Horray MFC!

In 7 of our last 10 games we have either been ahead or within one kick at 3/4 time. 8 games if you include Brisbane where we were level very late in the 3rd quarter.

Our record is 2 wins 6 losses in those 8 games. Of the 2 wins, one was against Freo with 2 players down, the other against Carlton where we still got overrun in the last quarter (although being 3 down was a significant factor). In the others, we've been regularly overrun in final quarters.

What is the cause? Are we not fit enough? Do we freeze up when the game is up for grabs?

We were very poor tonight for the majority of the game. But even still, we were within a kick at 3/4 time and got completely overrun yet again.

Hopefully we've added final quarter fadeouts right near the top of the ever-growing end-of-season to do list.

Can anyone name a single thing that has improved on last year? This is a genuine question because I can't think of anything. 

I'm putting the ball much better. And I'm hitting the occasional draw off the tee, which I never used to do.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
