team of duds who get games on the back of poor games. Not one of these players has played a “good” game all season yet continue to get selected. 

Agreed. Gifted games. 
Lever has been okay but the rest are dead space

"This is such a Melbourne thing to do."

Yep.

It is. It’s cultural. It’s what we do. 

Im struggling to get the enthusiasm up to watch the second half. Why bother? Nothing has changed

    That vision of the last minute showing our players jogging around was damning. They’re pathetic. 

    Then they just looked at each other.  Laughable!

    Re    Discussion on Jones, ANB, Oscar, Goody, Richardson and the Club itself.

    And I just renewed my kayo.


    How can we play smart footy for several weeks and then suddenly revert to the dumbest team in the comp? It’s not just playing soft unaccountable footy and poor execution but it’s one dumb decision after another by multiple players! Totally outsmarted by the Swans that quarter. Defence pfft who needs to pick up a man?

    And now watch the smarter team flood back in the third quarter.............ffs

     

    That might give us a chance. Sydney changing their tactics is our only hope, because sure as [censored] we won't change ours.

    We were off, intensity wise, in the Port game. That was somewhat understandable: we had a four day break, they had either 5 or 6, and they're on top of the ladder.

    There is no excuse today. The Swans played the same day we did (so we're a few hours behind not a day or two), and they're in the bottom 4. They're also missing Franklin, Heeney, Mills and Rampe.

    To have players jogging around in the first half of a must-win game with finals on the line would be unfathomable if it wasn't something we've seen repeatedly before.

    Should have switched to man on man and put an extra or two in the backline to stop the onslaught of goals with the wind

    Did we have any plan for and against the wind?? Didn't seem to change. The swans certainly did

    Goodwin is [censored] clueless and needs to go. Time for GB to back up his words with actions

    pharking incredible this mess.

    Bartlett should go down to the rooms and sack Goodwin on the spot.

    Harmes has been pathetic  all year.

    They don’t pick in form, that’s the problem.

    Guys like Bedford, Baker and Jetta have played well in the twos last few weeks.Who do they bring in? 
    Harmes, ANB!!!

    They keep Wagner and OMac!!

    These guys wouldn’t get a game with North, let alone a finals aspirant.

    EITHER SMITH GOES OR GOODWIN GOES. TAKE YOUR PICK MFC. -FED UP LONG TIME MELBOURNE SUPPORTER/SUFFERER.

    We long time Melbourne supporters know we dont come from this far back to win very often.  We know this result so far is predictable.  We've seen it many times. But I've backed us at $6 because there has to be a time MFC says enough is enough and pulls itself off the canvas.  DO IT!

    I don't know how many times Goodwin and co have to hammer home the point of consistency, but they just don't get it.

    I thought we'd drop the Freo game, but I was worried about this too. Whenever we look like we're moving in the right direction, this group switch off.

    Yep x 1000

    You are such a dumb [censored] troll.

    Lever has been in our best about 8 times this year.

    Wagner's played one game! And was decent! It's not even possible for him to have got a game "on the back of poor games".

    Correct. Coaches are responsible for how teams play. Cohesion, confidence in each other, knowing your role and turning up and being able to absorb pressure. 
    That is the job of a coach. He has done nothing to fix or stem this disaster which you could see coming after two minutes. 
     

    Not for the first time we have folded under perceived and physical pressure.

    • 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.
