Definitely

I said a couple of weeks in a row we need a really big loss- think 200 points

to shake things up (ie disabuse those of the mind this is an aberration )

    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. 

    Par for the course

    Who is going to speak for this utter poo.

    There are no adjectives left to describe how I feel about what has been dished out this season. Surely there has to be a response from management because membership will be decimated, as it should, unless radical changes are made.

    Given the team we had on the park, I'm just not sure what people were expecting. Seriously. We had a midget forward line with 2 actual forwards in it, is the lack of conversion from I50's a surprise?

    People should stop looking for clever reasons as to why we're performing badly. We have 17 players unavailable, including some really key players at both ends of the ground, and we're putting what is largely a VFL-quality team on the park. Surprise surprise, we're losing - and at times, losing badly.

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

    Hope so but it is huge ask, AND would require firstly admitting that the game plan, such as it is, is seriously flawed and needs a total rejig.

    Then we need some hard [censored] Clarkson like coaching with NO excuses accepted.

    Could be done if the troops really want it.

    Wont hold my breath though, as I don't want to suffocate.

    Based on tonight's performance, I can easily see a 3 figure loss next week.

    That definitely doesn't help, but the manner in which we just give up is the most embarrassing thing. Teams who roll over like don't win flags.

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

    Same here. Spent some $20000 for  the in doors and I over the 17 years or so and it’s been a [censored] investment many’s years of constant disappointment. Enough is enough. They have not met my KPI’s and will not be rejoining until things miraculously improve by a long shot

    Why the hell would the kids continually bomb it in then? It's either the stupid game plan or the players are just plain lacking intelligence, probably both.

    Calling young blokes this all night on a Friday from your computer says more about you than them.

    Who Oliver and Alex Neal Bullen?

    [censored] off mate, young blokes are the likes of Dunkley, Chandler, Spargo. 19 year olds who are still finding their way in the system. Did not once pot them at all. In fact I gave praise to Chandler that at 3 qtr time he was showing our more experience players because he was leading our tackling count. Get ya [censored] facts right

    Oliver and ANB are borderline nearing 100 games mark and should be be playing like they taking the game to the next level.

    The Oliver spray on Fritsch is one of the worse things I've seen from this year. Nothing but a selfish brat is Oliver.

    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? 

     

     

     

    Gawn did not dominate.  

    His worst game for the year

    Pert walks into the club like he owns the place, thinking he's on a dead set winner, low and behold he's bitten off more than he can chew. 

    He's way over his head. Running Collingwood was a stroll in the park.

    He's a down hill skier, needs everything to be smooth sailing to perform. 

    Not an ounce of ticker in him.

    I’ve been saying for ages that this is worse than the Neeld says, said it half a season ago. In the Neeld says we had pretty much no good players. 

    We have a lot of decent players in this team and. We are not much better off, in fact I rate this worse. Neeld teams had nigh on zero skills. This team should be much much better. That they’re not is a disgrace.

    Hope Goodwin does a Neeld and brings Jones to the presser. He escapes all the scrutiny as captain

    If we were showing any desperation to compete and win then fine. We are getting out tackled every single week. These guys haven't even seen what might happen if they genuinely compete in the physicality stakes.

    I'm not kidding when I say the fact that there are still people in the MFC community who think what we are being served up is acceptable is the absolute root of everything that is wrong with this football club.

    Anyone who actually had the mental toughness to watch the whole game - 

    1. How did Chandler go?  I  see he lead the field in tackles (9 on debut, equal with Viney and 7 more than the other co-captain).

    2. Did Max get any ruck relief at all?

    3. What went wrong with Bailey Fritsch - looked ok at the start?  Injured?

    Cool mate, criticize their football all you want, all of them deserve it tonight and most of the year, I just don't see why it's necessary to hurl personal insults at them on the internet. It's not impressing anyone.

    I’m 33, which might be young to some supporters on this page, and started following us in 1996. This is without a doubt the worst season I’ve experienced. The disappointment after so much hype is just absolutely crushing.

    Something really stinks with this club. There’s something rotting and I really hope this internal review yields something.

    Lets wake up.

    How many of those would be "best 22" and i hate that term.

    Jetta, May and Tmac? Thats 3.

    AVB cant get on the park.

    Weeds has shown less than last year.

    Hannan less than Weeds.

    And the rest are either kids, plodders or are cooked.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
