The complete apathy I have for this club is near equivalent to that of the Neeld years. 

I’m feeling so lost and low right now. 

Even with all of the injuries we have, there is something stinking so badly at this club.

    2 teams with nothing to play for and we get smashed. 

    Says it all really. 

    No game plan, no pride, no heart and no hope. Awesome work dees.

    Pert and Goodwin need to [censored] off and reinstate some semblance of competence to this club. We're beyond a laughing stock -- we're just utterly irrelevant.

    The Club can ring me and Beg next year, i am sick of giving this Club Free Money, when the do not care or respect it. 

    Enough is Enough....

    F$&@ You

    They will be doing alot of begging in 2020 by the sounds of it, Club and supporter relations at an all time low.

    Missed the game. Just checked the final scores. This is my guess how we played.

    Had more inside 50’s.

    Gave away easy gimmie goals.

    Gawn dominated but midfield pantsed.

    Missed easy set shots.

    Captains played like spuds. 

    Consistently turned the ball over.

    mindless bombing into forward line.

    Am I wrong with my guesses?

    Yep - I agree. Something seriously wrong.

    I have said that all year and certain people on here have attacked me for it. 

    Something has seriously stunk since Preliminary Final Day last year, something apart from what we have been told. 

    Board Level, Club Level, Football Dept. could be any of those 3....

    My favourite part was when the players just decided to start trying to take hangers at the end (Harmes especially). I guess they have busted their guts up to this point so they were due a little bit of fun.

    Liked the Lever acquisition but he has zero ability to compete in a one on one. Nathan Jones has been a great servant but he is no longer AFL standard and he has gotten very lazy. Time to move on. The kicking for goal I have no words for. Viney maybe just isn't a good league footballer. The overall ability to compete in the air is an embarrassment to everyone linked to the club.

    Look who we can trade and hit the draft for next 2-3 years. Our list is cooked

    Ive never seen so many players that disinterested in playing a game of footy in my life. Period. Not that I can blame them, Goodwin looks as if he hasnt had a clue since the qualifying final last year...

    But they do. The question is where and why has it disappeared.

    That kids bleeds red and blue. What has happened to this group?

    It certainly looks like the coach has lost them, or vice versa.    

    Either way it will be another ugly and depressing (for us all here) year in 2020 unless there are massive changes in staff, in game plan (assuming we have actually had one) and in passion and dedication.

    Swans had 9 players under 50 games & win on the road by 9 goals... either players don’t care or Coach is a joke!

    Petraccas looking disgruntled when on the phone to the coaches said it all. They have lost the players.

    Has any team ever wasted inside 50s as much as MFC?

    Tonight 53 point, 9 goal loss, with ten (10) more I 50s.

    How bad is our structure?    Goody, please answer.

    Lucky we spent two trade periods turfing out our entire forward line while recruiting overpaid key defenders that cost us a fortune in draft currency and can't even get on the park. Sheer brilliance from the geniuses in list management.

    The commentators are still running the company line of excuses for the MFC? Why??? Why won't anyone just call this club out for what it is? I guess it's because we are a nice play thing for other clubs in the competition, and you wouldn't want to disrupt that. If you're struggling and want an opponent that you can beat on pure effort, circle the Demons on the fixture. It's a nice fallback for other clubs.

    Is it possible to train/instill pride during the off season?

    Agree.   Goodwin (should be renamed Badloss) talks of loss of connection between mids and forwards - he has yet to admit total loss of connection between the club and those who prop it up, us supporters.

    Not with Jones and Viney there.

    Look at Cripps, bottom of ladder for years and always punches through in games regardless on how the team is going. Viney and Jones just go to [censored] when the teams down

    Another thing that killed us is the extended goal square kick in rule. The number of times Sydney got it past the wing was staggering, on the other hand we can't seem to get it beyond 60m. This club is looking like it's on death row, next year is make or break and I have zero faith in this group of leaderless half-wits.

    Harmes tries to break a tackle in the last, gets pinged and 3 Sydney blokes fall on top of him letting him know all about it and not a single teammate steps in. Yeah, Harmes stuffed up but someone step the hell in and help. 

    Sydney had a pack mentality tonight, don’t even know what to say about us anymore.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
