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

    Oliver was ****house

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
