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!

    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: 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.
