The problems with this club run so so deep. We have a name, a logo and a jumper, but we don't actually stand for anything.

Some things you can allow for, forgive and understand, but the lack of fight when things are tough and belief in each other (not just talking about the players btw) are all just emblematic of an organization that exists just to survive, not to succeed.

I believe that can only be changed by leadership club-wide. The closest we've had to a ruthless, wants-to-win leader has been PJ. Goodwin has become a PR artist, Bartlett just wants the "me time", Pert is invisible and our co-captains aren't directional leaders and are so limited as footballers that they struggle to lead by example anyway.

Wasn't expecting a win today of course, but the way we have just wandered through this year says a lot about who we really are.

Every club that Pert goes to is [censored]. He is poison.

Embarrassing stuff. Most embarrassing is the coaching and match ups. 

Sidebottom has been on his own all game but don’t worry we have had Jones on the opposite wing on his own and that’s working a treat. 

The coach doesn’t want to seem to change it for some reason but we have seen OMac moved to the forward line. Awesome move coach.

    Our problems existed well before he got there. It's a cop out to blame him for 50 years of failure.

    I honestly thought we'd show some pride and have a real crack this week. Once again MFC let me down!

    Imo Jones should retire at the end of this season. He looks done. 

    He has slowed and doesn’t seem to want to tackle. 

    I think he has laid one tackle  while Viney has 6  

    He should retire but won’t unfortunately.

    Indeed..The rot was well seated before Pert arrived...strange though that he added fertilizer to it

    Honestly I don’t know how people can have blind faith in Goodwin and then watch this [censored] unfold every week. Injuries are one thing. Being a dumb coach with no understanding of your team or your opponent is another. 

    This is as easy a win as any team will have this year.

    Word is that Jake Lever’s favourite AFL player of all time is Jake Lever.

    The plus side to his “lowlights vs highlights” reel at the MFC being dramatically skewed in favour of the former, is that his ego might settle  down a bit

    Fake news.

    He oversaw Collingwood's 2010 flag.

    We'll lose this game, but we'll always have Q1, when we almost kind of looked like an ok club with some promise.

    Gawn zero marks and 4 touches at 3/4 time. 

    The going gets tough and Clarry is the only one that stands up

    This garbage has nothing to do with injuries or pre season.

    Now even less skill and even less effort.

    Those who hate Oscar, at least he can kick a footy, unlike 18 of our players out there. May, Salem Frost and Oscar  only ones who can pass the footy.

    Melksham hopeless today.

    BTW all coaches must be blind to leave Sidebottom untagged.

    Where the he'll is Petracca!? Gone MIA.

    look truth be said...Collingwood really needed this training run to get them a bit more sorted before september.  They were always going to be able to rely on us to give it to them.

    Dire performance.

    Fritsch being our most dangerous forward again only highlights Goodwin’s ridiculous decision to play him out of position all year.

    Any chance he could tell Jones to man Sidebottom up instead of trying stupid experimental tactics dropping back of the square into defence.

    It took Roos 3 years to get the club to stop accepting losing as its default state, and now in 20 games we are right back there again.

    There’s no fight, no passion, no mongrel. Just continuing to a structure that gets exploited the same way every week. It’s the same game every round for us.

    He’s played his quarter. What did you expect? Another player who hasn’t improved and never will because he isn’t fit.

    Even the commentators are saying he is being left alone and can’t understand why. 

    King is fascinated why he has not been tagged today. 

    Well Mr King most of the footy public are wondering the same thing except our coach. 

    We could still have the lowest score of the round....need to kick at least 4 points in the last quarter

    • 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.
