    "This is such a Melbourne thing to do."

    Yep.

    Bang on.

    If people don't like it they need to remove their heads from their rears.

    We dont need a coach, we need an Exorcist

    Seriously, I think we should change the name. We have been cursed.

     

    given the many examples of poor football i have seen from the dees over the last 50 years, i am pretty sure its game over. probably finals gone as well.

    This is actually embarrassing. I feel ashamed for them almost. Wheres the heart?

    Whats happened to them. Sydney numbers to the ball....playing in front and tackling like they are vying for finals and us like wooden spooners.

    The only positive is I suppose we will get more work done around the house this month.

    Selection killed us once again.

    Bring in one spud in Joel Smith only to leave the other plonk in Oscar McDonald against a nimble Sydney forward line.

    Weren't you calling for Joel Smith's inclusion?

    Cricket’s on this weekend! The football can GAGF.

    I turned the TV off halfway through the 2Q. Almost as putrid as vs Port and the Dogs - you can tell with Melbourne from the first bounce, what sort of effort you’ll get. There’s no way that we come back from this.

    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

    Yep. We older Supporters have seen it so many times before. 
    it’s what we do.

    Can anyone explain to me what Jack Viney exactly adds to our side. Said many of times that he's such a disruption to our midfield set up. 6 disposal in a half of football.

     

    Sydney aren’t even played that well. Just trying and running

    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. 

    No doubt Goodwin has to cop responsibility for us being flat from the first bounce for the 10293th time in his coaching career.

    But we cannot absolve the players. Half-hearted tackles, no defensive running, hollywood handballs, dropped marks, missed kicks, laziness. They have to pull their fingers out too.

    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".

    Go [censored] your self stupid troll. You obviously havnt been watching to not see how many goals Lever has given away this year and Wagner has always been Bog ordinary and always will. Won’t win a premiership with him in the side so give it a rest

    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.

    Ohhhhh no. You can’t just pin this on the players. This is Goodwin’s 4th year as coach. His list, his team, his structures. 

    It doesn’t work, and he has to wear the blame.

    My only solice in our season being finished is that at least Essendon didn’t inflict it on us in the last round

    I just hate this club so much 

    Goodwins biggest half 

    Better do something you shi-t hea-d Goodwin

    We’d be better off playing worse in the 2nd half, just so he can be sacked.

    Board needs to wear a lot of the blame too, giving a wannabe such a long contract. This whole club can [censored] off if this is their response to consolidating a spot in the 8.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
