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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
