Then we had "our best team in 50 years" now we've got the worst team again and if we're 6-5 in next couple of weeks we'll be flying again ...

substantial "IF" there Polly.

Such is life as a Melbourne supporter!

Goodwin needs a 50+ points win tomorrow against the Crows and must have a big win against North the following week in order to just start building some sort of credibility.  If the team can manage that, then they might just build enough momentum to get them across the line against the Pies; and if that happens, then he may have saved his skin for the time being.

Yep.

A listless win by 2 or 3 goals against The Crows wont be nearly enough to give him breathing space. If we just fall over the line its almost as bad as a loss for Goodwin. Obviously we will take the 4 points no matter how it comes but a BIG win is what is required tomorrow.

Heaven help us if we lose. No club has a better record of helping the oppo break a losing streak than we do so its a real possibility.

Adelaide will certainly think we are gettable, and so they should.

Take no prisoners.

Meh, considering last week I will take a win by a couple of goals tomorrow night. Just get the job done.

Of course a healthy lead throughout will obviously help with all of our anxiety.

Which year Pates?

Haha it changes my quote a lot but it’s meant to read “watching Melbourne there hasn’t been one year where you can expect every week we will out in a solid performance.”

Sorry, my point actually is that we seem to always put out at least a couple of disgraceful games every year. 

I cant see us losing to the Crows, surely? They are awful and probably on the tank. My concern is, even if we win the next two comfortably, we were revert back to the same crap we have watched for a few years. The club has a huge decision to make, I hope they're in Clarko or Ross' ear as we speak.

It's funny. I don't think I'm going to have much anxiety for the rest of this year. We either make the finals or Goodwin's gone. Let's see how we play.

I couldn’t see us losing to Essendon when they were essentially made up of all VFL top up players and yet we did. I never take anything for granted with Melbourne.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
