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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
