And played a whole game too

Choked when the heat was on 

I wish Cox and Maynard both do their ACL next week. Trash thug hack footballers. 

Oh that's very decent of you

Tmac is cooked

TMac and Brown need to retire, respectfully.

Ordinary performance!

Made the filth look good!

Disagreed Bitter, except for the first quarter and patches of the third, Collingwood looked very ordinary 

Even a Jefferson would be a better option than most of our forwards at this stage.

Melksham going down was a much bigger disaster than we could have imagined.


T-mac normally kicks those and kozzie panicked twice when he had plenty of time and space to drill those snaps. Poor kicking is poor football.

Make no mistake though we outplayed them everywhere except where it mattered most. If we don't win next week I'll be surprised. And angry.

And we'll go into the next match without Brayshaw and probably JVR. 

Nice while it lasted, but we are not winning it from here even if we do win next week.

Brayshaw may not play again given his concussion history. 

Edit: this season

Well those two players are very low class. I don't want to wish injuries but probably Maynard will be suspended.

 

Slow start killed us,we won the game after quarter time.

3 more scoring shots

Tmac nowhere near this level ATM,i'd drop him for Brodie next week,Maxy forward is a better option than Tmac

Is Kozzy injured? He couldn't kick straight to save his life.

what about fritsch  !!!!    did he have painkiller in foot or something   surely not staight sets again but will prob face a rampaging carlton next week


Losing a final with + 32 inside 50’s.

How is that possible?

Pies will easily cruise into a GF with a laugher of a home prelim final against Port or GWS. Neither of those sides are going to dominate the obscene amount of territory we did.

Edited by Bring-Back-Powell

Three finals losses, all significant wins on expected score. It's wasted chances versus luck from the opposition. 
should have won that by 30+

Two things:

- We went with the 2 tall backline which hasn't worked this year.

- We went with the stagnant, crowded forward line with long balls which hasn't worked this year.

We reverted to these two things at the worst possible time.

It hasn't worked and continuously gets out coached in big games. Goodwin is still learning but we are being coached to put ourselves in games to win. McRae could see how they were going to win and that's exactly how they did it. We were lucky to be so close, really. We fought back when it was still open for us but we lost it early

Surely they'll suspend that Maynard thug.

I'd delist him.

Lost brought to you by Goodwin, unfortunately.

What absolute rubbish! We were all over them for probably 70% of that game. They were just cleaner going inside forward 50 on three occasions in the third quarter, that was the game right there. If you cant see that spirit of that last quarter, then hand your membership back pal. A game of moments, that is all it was. They just took theirs we didn’t. Absolutely nothing to do with the coach.

yes Brodie for sure Macca gone  premiership player but done  thanks for your service

Fritsch is not 100%, you can see he is not going full speed around the ground.

Yes I would expect so.

As you say it best not to wish injuries 

Beyond frustrating, played like merde yet the game was so tantalising close. Two decent kicks for goal was all that was needed, had enough opportunities last quarter to sink a ship thrice over.

Line in the MCG turf. Not doing straight sets.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
