    "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

    Wrong person you have.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
