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.

You've got to be kidding, that's holding the ball right in front of goal.

Flick us a bit, ya buttholes!

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!

I laughed, and then cried.

[DemonOX 8,791]

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. 

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Averaging 1 goal a quarter. Weak as [censored] MFC.

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.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

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

[DubDee 25,866]

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

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

[Redleg 40,925]

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.

[beelzebub 23,376]

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.

[billyblanks35 33]

Might as well go back to playing our contested brand with 609 inside 50s. Rather lose doing that than this new game plan.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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.

[The heart beats true 18,123]

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. 

[Meggs 595]

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

Out of all the players today, you choose him to criticize?

[ProperDee 1,698]

Most of these bludgers have put the cue in the rack. Weak as pizz.
