    Our new recruits look above our normal class and effort which is positive.

    Don't worry horse, we'll drain that out of them in no time.

    Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

    The scary thing is we are still in the game. I don't think we could be much worse than we have been. Viney is the only one that can hold their head up high. Our pressure is non existent and we have fumbled and been careless with the ball. Is it time to drop Brayshaw he's been pathetic.

    pickett looks good, a few better signs but need  alot more effort.  Im not sure if its the system the coach wants to play or our players are dumb but we really suck at times.

    My mates in our messenger group:

    “How funny was that“

    “Who is that Gumby in the back line”
     

     “There he is”

    no guesses Who they’re referring to.

    They look totally flat. 
     

    I think the decision coming before the game got inside our heads. 
     

    They probably don’t believe it/not focused. 
     

    Just going through the motions. 

    Players look too hot and bothered. Someone please give them some silk fans.

    Simply too slow for our gameplay.

    We know it's going to come in quick with the way we play. I've never been a fan, but I'm sure another team (or a different game plan) would suit him much better.

    Given we are flush with inside mids who can butcher the ball, why not trade him?

    Gotta give something to get something.

    Yet West Coast are switched on.

    The opposition always fire up

    We don’t. 
     

    Stop with the MFC excuses

    This is actually a quintessential Goodwin coached game. Still holding on for dear life to a 2018 gameplan. We don't know whether we're coming or going.

    Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

    Charlie having another blinder

    2 x kicks to eagles palyers

    1 x kick missed the target

    1 x 50 metre penalty

    Oh and 1 mark

    I will go to the grave, hopefully soon if this is the best we can do afetr a solid pre season, not understanding how he gets a game. He is a project player that was unsuccessful- time to move on

    We got rid of Frosty & kept OMac. FMD.

    OMac has actually been one of our better players! Take off the blinkers.

    Difference between a truly professional organisation and ours Clint. They don't accept mediocrity, it's seemingly all we know.


    Gawny appears to be protecting his knee. He has no spring and is avoiding contact with man mountain Natanui.

    I don't blame Max. One game is not worth getting injured for, but the ease of WC clearances from the centre has killed us just as much as our witches hat game plan.

    Disappointing. I was hoping to watch this game fir the next 10 weeks. Can't even watch it for the next 10 minutes.

    The players can now see where they are at compared to a Top 6 team. Miles off the skills required.

     

    looking at the brights side, all recruits except Brown at this stage, playing well. Kossie is a Jet. And i put $10 at 11:1 on Viney to get +30 disposalsdisposals

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
