    FFS. We have 1, read 1, Injury. 

     Goodwin can’t survive this year as Coach. 

    I've never heard a club hide behind injuries as much as we did last season. What's their excuse going to be in 2020?

    Putrid doesn’t feel like a negative enough word to describe this performance. Any suggestions?

    Is Goodwin still at the ground? Has he been in the bog taking a [censored] for the last 90 minutes? What is going on?! Do something you pelican!

    What do you expect him to do?

    He's got Fritsch on a wing, Viney in the forward line, TMac higher up the ground.

    What do you want?

    It's systemic change from him we need, not gameday flipping of magnets.

    Wow, Adelaide have a game to look forward to.

    Has a winless team ever started favourite?

    I actually have a feeling a winless GWS team years ago were favourites against us in the Neeld years

    I actually think Sparrow is going OK. Lever is our best, no point pointing finger at forward line that last passage was the only clean ball inside 50 tonight

    Goodwin will hang his hat on that play as being the Melbourne Way. 

     You can’t just do that once. Do it for 4 quarters Goodwin or go home with the Port players. 

     We need a coach that knows what he’s doing and can put a rocket up the players.

    Nine do going into round 1.

    Overrated pea hearts.

    Another year wasted.

    He was great before his ACL with us... But geese he is too slow to play on a small, to weak to play on the big boys. If he isn't intercept marking he is a liability 

    he wasn't even that good. He just guarded grass at adelaide

    This is one of those teams that constantly seems to be a thorn in our side. It’s time to make a statement and to bloody their noses (metaphorically of course).

    Ha ha.!

    Lockhart, Lever and Petracca the only ones to break even.

    Gawn, Viney, McDonald are not leaders' bootlaces.

    Ha ha this is like our best side! 

    Same [censored]. Running under the ball. Missed short handballs poor turnovers lazy mids no system 4 around the ball

    Crap umpiring

    Pack your bags Goodwin [censored] hopeless

    Our percentage actually meant we were still a chance, even if we lost tonight. So much for that!

    I’ve got low standards, but this is one of the most pathetic performances I’ve seen.

    Tell me why I should keep believing in us. Please. Surely we as supporters need to stick together through thick and thin. But we all need to know that we are not alone - that we hold true to something that we have stuck to, thick and thin for decades. is it a delusional idea to be believe in a Melbourne Premiership in our lifetimes or is it best to give up and play tiddly winks instead. I certainly vote for the former. The game's not over but I hear the fat lady singing...what is the name of that song?

    You're a young fella aren't you?

    We've had a couple of false dawns in almost 6 decades. Don't waste your time. The Hawks will have a full rebuild and start winning multiple flags again before our blokes realise we have a coach who is taking us backwards.

    Any chance we might switch?

    Haven't looked to do it all night.

    Complete lack of work rate the entire game.

    The most hollow I've felt since the West Coast game. Thank goodness I've got Demonland for my mental health.

    Fraudulent is a good word for this. Our club. Our coach. Our supposed culture.

    I recall that game in 2013.

    We lost to a 0-17 GWS in Sydney and not one person was surprised by the result.

    This is exactly the issue, we have to win contested ball to win the game. Every other club has different methods. Embarrassing.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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?
