Richmond exits finals in straight sets

Ditto Collingwood

West Coast loses the GF amid controversial umpiring decision

The fire season is unusually quiet so the koala population can begin to recover

Joe Biden crushes Trump so comprehensively so that even the compulsively lying orange buffoon has no traction for his claims of dodgy voting

Adem Yze agrees to become Melbourne's match day strategist for 2021 and beyond (and is instantly viewed as Goodwin's successor by Demonlanders)

    I'm looking forward to the silent majority standing up and Trump winning in a landslide so I can be entertained watching all the snowflakes lose their minds again.

    I'd just be happy with a quiet fire season/wildlife recovery

    Last year was too much fire in NNSW - our 5yo semi traumatised by it.

    To be honest I don't care what any other side does.

    Time to stop worrying about other sides performances and just look at ourselves.

    Whoever wins the flag, good on them they deserve it.

    Looking at these photos, I'm pretty sure Biden is wearing one of those MFC ties. Trump, too, might be on board.

    Both losers. Biden loses election. Trump then bankrupts the USA. It’s a losers tie.

    Believe it or not we can still make finals if Bulldogs and GWS lose their last two and we win .

    Mostly out of our control, and improbable,  but if they can somehow find some heart, there may still be a  chance to redeem themselves.

    Not that I’m holding out any hope or anything.

    Jackson to play the last game and star.

    Pickett to actually kick goals from 15 metres directly in front

     Beating GWS and Essendon

    Richardson to leave and be replaced by Yze

    Goodwin to reevaluate his game day approach as well as his strategies.

    Surely Trump's a Carlton supporter?

    Do we know if Richo was hired for a 1 year contract? If so, then i dont think we renew. But its hard to say whether or not he's had an impact. We dont know what happens behind the scenes.

    A vaccine.

    Failing that the Smiths to reform. It would be a real tonic to see Morrissey and Johnny Marr together again playing all the old hits.

    I just had this ridiculous notion that it could be possible for one of our chief rivals for that spot in the 8 to blow their chance even worse than us, and keep the season alive for one more week.

    But that would be madness.  Not even 2020 can get that stupid.

    Have a feeling part of Richardsons role is overseeing the whole football operations and report back to the board.  Coach director?  Does any other club have this role??  Richardson being new to Melbourne and an astute observer,  would have a view of the big picture. i would be amazed if part of his job is not to relay his "learnings" to the board.  The big issue in getting rid of Goodwin is that Pert/Bartlett & Mahoney all ratified the decision.  Getting rid of him entirely is pretty much an admission of ineptitude.  

    Thinking laterally what do they do?  Happy with Goodwin and direction we are going?  Resounding No.  Happy with our assistants and their output? Mostly No, Burgess gets a tick, but he'll be moving onto greener pastures.  So left with some major decisions, clean out the assistants and get the best ones for starters.  The tough decision here is what to do with Goodwin, my guess is they will move him sideways and Richardson will be head coach next year.  Really can't see any way the board can admit guilt and all fall on their sword, but they can decide Simon is not the way forward for a multitude of reasons.  If something like this was implemented i wonder whether Goodwin would want to stay?  He would still be on ridiculous money for a diminished role.  

    Personally i can't wait til the end of this season to see what we choose to do in this space!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
