Giants will smash us next and when it is mathematically impossible we'll come out and smash Bombers by 80 and the players will be high fiving like they just won the flag!!!

Respectfully disagree. Members control the club, never seen members this restless 

What about 2012?

Or is being apathetic and losing by 80 points every week better because at least you know what you're going to get?

I think we can draw a line through more than the coach after watching that. Too early to name players, but the blokes who came in had an opportunity. There is a future for Rivers, some of the regulars (Petracca, Gawn, Oliver, Fritsch, VDB, Viney (until hit), Hibberd) were up to AFL standard, but after that I'm scratching what hair I have left.

You're being extremely kind to Fritsch and VDB

 

At least we have a good first round pick......wait?

Completely agree

Never has the accumulating burn merchant tag been more apt than tonight.

Soooooo many fumbles

Then the running approach to 50, wind behind, with 5 mins to go, kick from 53, shinned it deep into right pocket.... any star mid would have buried a goal at half post height

[censored] me seriously drunk!


Just another predictable performance that MFC dishes up all too often. Players and coaches too comfortable collecting their pay checks week in week out.  Lacking in accountability and leadership across the board. Change is needed - So what is chairman Glen going to do?

“It’s great for the Club to announce, prior to the season starting, that Simon Goodwin has signed on for the next four years,” Pert told the club’s website.

 

“It is certainly a show of confidence from the Board, Josh Mahoney and myself in Simon as a coach and what he is producing out on field, but also the culture that he is building in our football department.

This is the Board signing off that these are the people, this is the leadership, this is the program and this is the culture that we believe will take the Melbourne Football Club to where we want to go over the next four years. It’s an investment in those people and the program, so that makes it pretty exciting.”

It's time for Perty, Mahoney and all other board members who ratified this rubbish extension to pack their bags and walk as well.  They were complicit in this whole extension debacle and the signing of such a long extension on a rookie coach was/is negligent and indefensible.

Never been a fan of pert. Flim flam man.

We picked a team of runners and it poured rain .

Picked Preuss as well but hard to Mark in the wet.

As bad as we are it’s rotten luck.

Only if the club had never heard of the Bureau of Meteorology

I called the club last week and took my membership of auto-renew. I told them if Goodwin goes I'll put it back on.

Someone mentioned that Pert gets reports like this. Call the club and let them know you won;t re-sign if Goodwin is there. Money talks.

Just sent them an email saying the same thing

I thought Jack and Langdon were our best. From teh first minute. They turn it over a bit but they had a go, the irony is not lost on me. Our bets and most competitive players are no good with ball in hand.

Or we'll belt GWS and the EFC with champagne football, and miss out on the 8 by the bee's proverbial, just to rub in to everyone what could have been.

No guarantee of a any efficacious vaccine for 2021...

Not really what I meant - hence the 'normal'. The only thing a vaccine will affect is the number of fans at a game. What I meant is games every weekend, 6/7 day breaks, full quarters (which will really help us), a proper pre-season, no trips to Adelaide then Brisbane then Alice then Cairns, and so on, and so on.

He fumbled or made the wrong decision nearly every time he touched the football. He is a seriously flawed footballer.

As if, be very surprised if we don't go down by 80+

Spot on. Never has a group been more primed to roll over for a 10 goal hiding than our blokes next week. Just rolled over against 14th and 15th and now cop a team with something to play for. Yuck.

Key parts of what  Garry said

*  urgency came too late

* maybe just an average group? 

*  average sides/players can’t maintain consistency of effort

* 2018 aberration  

* smith, Preuss, Bedford, ANB, Baker average players in what is now an average footy club

* Goodwin coaching average

* took too long to adjust, no passion, urgency until the end 

* players trying to win the game by themselves as opposed to team

* good individuals, average team

* not enough resilience in team

Spot on especially the not playing as a team aspect, dunno if the coaches know how to coach that?

Didn't even bother watching it. Soon as I saw that Smith was playing down back again I knew we would be [censored]. Two weeks in a row 5 disposals is not AFL standard. Should have played Jetta, Simon you peanut. While he is coaching I'm fully over this club & they can GAGF if they think I'm forking out for membership next year.

Trent Rivers with pick 32. Will play 200 games (hopefully all for us).

Just waiting for Saty

List quality is different.. not maximising list quality is career suicide 

Well that's another 2 hours I'll never get back.

hard to argue against any of it, we all know it except for the club.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
