Fremantle aren’t all that bad, it’ll be a tough, close scrape. Dockers by 89 points.

Us dees fans are a hardy lot. Who have developed all sort of coping strategies to deal with the sort of routine gut punch we got in the last game. Some get angry. Some fatalistic. Some vow never

Anyone else get the impression from Goodwin yesterday that the club doesn't think it will play finals?  Three things I noticed: 1. He started talking of the condensed fixture, travel, Alice, late

Goodwin at HT said we needed to be brave with the ball, not boring.

Either he didn't tell the players that, or they just were unwilling or incapable of trying it.

We didn't appear to even try to move the ball anywhere other than down the wing.

Just before the second Walters goal, Gawn took consecutive intercept marks. Both times, the only place he properly looked was the wing. Both times, he kicked to Pickett.

Our ball movement plan tonight has been appalling, absolutely appalling.

Yes I was screaming at him to switch play although on TV you can only assume there is someone there but this is MFC so no guarantee on that. The wife came in to see why I was yelling by the way! Dumb football, yes we may have 30 dumb footballers but I am looking at the coach!

I know hes only young but if Pickett cant take those chances when they come hes not going offer much. Missed 2 early against the Dogs as well and it jist kills us.

Smith 2 disposals, 0 marks, 1 tackle.

Hibberd 4 disposals, 0 marks, 0 tackles.

Bedford 4 disposals, 1 tackle.

PIckett 5 disposals, 1 tackle.

Hunt 6 disposals, 0 tackles.

Hibberd was limping at the end of the third term.  Should never have played.

OMG. Just checked the scores for the first time.

What a horrible score in another “must win” game.

Have a good summer folks. See you in 2021 for what is probably us on the decline ready for the next rebuild. 
 

There is no promise in this team. Nothing. 

No upside when nobody can kick.  Diabolical recruiting.

Rivers is a nice one to start the rebuild with though.

a team with the season on the line and this is what we dish up

For the 2nd time in 2 weeks we play a bottom 5 side and get comprehensively outcoached  outclassed and well beaten.

Good job Simon. If you had any integrity you would resign straight after this game.

And don't forget 2017 v collingwood who were 14th. We didn't lay a tackle inside the first 20 minutes we anted the win so bad.

Serong 17 touches 5 tackles. Shame we traded the pick away and took Pickett. Going to hurt that trade

Very poor conditions for our two games up here. Very poor scheduling by the afl. Muppets

Our opponents did what was necessary 

Stop with the excuses. 
That’s the problem. These people don’t like hard work

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
