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?

Bereft, soul-destroying...................fraudulent

 

melbourne..........

They must bite the bullet and sack Goodwin fancy getting a coach from Essendon they have done nothing for 20 years.

 

We stink, plain and simple. 1 step forward 5 steps back. Hard work carefully building that house of cards and then Port come and flick it all over. I've had it

Ha Richardson ... the reason we don’t want to sack Goodwin mid-season. 


Legitimately seen a couple of our guys fully [censored] themselves at the physical contact today. If we hadn't already set the lowest of low standards then tonight might have been the all time worst!

Richo doing the interview.... 

 

Has goody been sacked already?! 

Mahoney should also be in the firing line, has always had a free pass despite doing [censored] like paying 2 first rounders for OMac 2.0 while letting Howe walk out the door.

Wow, Adelaide have a game to look forward to.

Has a winless team ever started favourite?

I hope not cos I'm loading up on them. Spewing I didn't take port over 40 for $7


Oliver and Brayshaw can go at years end.. one cant kick, one can’t chase

Trading a first rounder for koz was a mistake too

This is pointless, kicking goals now.  It'll just take the heat off.

Lose big with pride you cowards.

I disagree with you on your view that "this is pointless". And also with your notion of losing big with pride - that's repugnant to me. Until the final siren sounds it's never over. We're still a chance to win (no matter how slim). Melbourne to win by a point (to prove a point - hopefully :) ) I'm up for every goal the Dee's can kick - always - goals win games...

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

 

It's not necessarily about different methods, but it is about how dependent we are on CPs/clearances.

If we can't dominate in the middle, everything else falls apart.


This is worse than 186 I expected them to be reasonable tonight. Petracca is the only one that has had a go, the rest have been disgusting.

Goodwin needs to do a course on how to at least behave like a coach. What rubbish, 'play with your heads held high....'what a muppet....

We can dream

I truly believed we’d bottomed our a few weeks back. Surely the noise can’t be ignored any more. You have to try your guts out week after week to win in this competition. Is that noise?

Getting COVID would be more fun than watching this.

It would not. I’m all for cracking jokes about this club and this game but when someone you know is fighting for life from this virus, this [censored] pales in comparison.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
