I have been watching this garbage for well over 50 years with very few breaks of sunshine. Tonite was disgusting. 

And they save their worst for prime time TV.
Just love humiliating their supporters.

We got 3 weeks of applying physical pressure to our opponents after the players got called out by the media...which is 1 or 2 more weeks than i expected. So we should be happy really. Funnily enough we managed the kick some goals those weeks.

Goes to show just how much passion this group has for the club and the supporters though doesn't it. They'll have a crack for a bit if they get called out publicly...but the idea of giving that sort of effort week in week out is unthinkable.

Unimpeachable truth.

We just hurt and hurt. Soft underbelly and it's been there for years.

Dunno if it's passion, only Trac seems to want to be the best player he can be and do everything he can for this to happen. Would love to know how hard some players work on their weaknesses. They seem to just rely on the talent that got them there

Noticed this about Langdon too, was so infuriating! 

Langdon has been disappointing for me this year.

Trac should go to a top line club before his talents are wasted.

I cannot recall a game of football where one team showed such woeful skills. There was no connection. the field kicking was dreadful. we could not string together 3 possessions and we did not run to spread. we also gave away stupid frees and did not stick tackles.

Did I miss anything?

 

I just finished watching one of the weakest most pitiful efforts in the red and blue ever.

Let me help you....

Belief, Spirit, Skills, Grunt, Polish, Finish, Smarts, Genuine Forwards, Pressure, Pressure inside 50, Connection (everywhere), ACCOUNTABILITY (almost everywhere), Passion, Love of the Game, TEAM WORK, Skills, LEADERSHIP.

We are [censored].  I would shift Goody aside on the quiet and get Richardson to takeover as the silent caretaker and start the search for a new SENIOR EXPERIENCED coach now behind the scenes and clean the entire coaching group out bar a few newbies at year's end.  This is a failed FD we are watching turn to crud on the field before our very eyes.

The team needs a significant clean out as well at year's end.  Some awefull players on this list who need to be moved on.  Did we just re-sign Fritsch for two more years?  My gosh that's already looking shakey.

There were some try hards out there tonight and some who at least gave a yelp but boy oh boy is this club flakey.   As flakey as it gets both on and off the field.

As far as i'm concerned, any chance we had of turning the sinking ship around walked out the door with Roos & PJ, ably assisted with the appointment of one very ordinary coach, in Mr S Goodwin.

2019 & 2020 = SHIZEN HOUSEN!

Oh, there will be. The membership and sales departments can cut back on staff coz no one will be calling.

I for one will be ringing them Monday to cancel my automatic renewal. 800 smackers for a reserve seat when I may not be able to watch this crap at all is not on.

There was a rock opera about a kid called Tommy who was deaf dumb and blind.

After all these years ... could The Who have made it about the wrong MFC personality?

Wonder if he plays a mean pinball?

Our back six - Lever, May, OMac, Hibbo, Lockhart, Harmes had 4 tackles between them.

Don't understand how that's possible from a backline in a professional highly paid sport?

Its called "Standoff Footy" Where you think

1 Your team will maintain possession

2 You believe your skills and judgment better than opponent!

Neither apply to MFC at all

I wonder how much internal heat there is on Goodwin? What would it take for Pert to get into the football department? Richardson has made no difference to our results - maybe he doesn't have much to offer, or maybe SG doesn't listen... 

Brown was talking about lack of on-field leadership. Yep.

A soft team when the heat's on. Same as it ever was.

The narrative is that we’ve improved from last year, and we probably have, but we were also 3-5 last year.

We also beat Carlton, Gold Coast and Hawthorn last year.

People blaming forward line are way off, after quarter time we rarely went inside 50, the first quarter we kick to Port.

We keep saying this over and over again our skills and ability to hit targets is at local footy level not afl.  Bloody disgrace that blokes making big coin cant hit targets 


We played like a team of Cale Mortons ...

I switched off at half time and turned onto Netflix for another Vikings episode 

Didnt Burgess say a couple of days ago that he had these short turnarounds covered and that he had advice from Premier League colleagues about preparations re fitness ? Obviously hasn't worked , but why am I not surprised .

Has there ever been a fan base that has suffered as much as us over many many years ? I think not . And I am thinking global here . We are just so cursed . 

I’m not sure what I feel worse about, the teams performance or my lack of anger, just a flat resigned attitude. ?

3/4 time stats, Gawn had 39 hit outs to Ports 10, yet only 5 were to advantage. There is zero connection between Max and our mids, zero connection between our mids and our forwards too.

I don’t pot shot our coach, but there really needs to be another review. Petracca and Gawn are the only players that haven’t gone downhill since 2018, others have dropped so far it’s alarming.

For the first time I’m actually contemplating stopping my auto renewal of my memberships and dropping it down to a 3 game pass just so I keep my consecutive years and get my scarf. ?

Their inability to put pressure on was a major issue.

Woah. You didn't watch the game?

Viney should have remained the captain. Don’t get me wrong Gawn plays his heart every week out but he doesn’t strike me as leadership material.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
