Unfortunately this headline writes itself. Going to be some unfortunate comparisons to the men's exits last two years.

    There's surely something to it? Possibly the club thinks it's better than it is, and that results will just come.

    At least the men were in with a chance in both finals this year.

    The women have virtually rolled over in both of our finals this past week. Very poor indeed. Something doesn’t smell right about the MFC at the minute.

    I was just thinking that.

    Fumbling, poor disposal, can’t kick, mark or handball.

    What has happened?

    Gee WCW will be disappointed at the ground. This is not good for the women and club in general. Maybe Goody should get out of the box.

    To reply to Alister Nicholson on 7 - I don't give a single [censored] about the public perception of the MFC. They are all nuffies I do not care for.

    BRING BACK MARK NEELD!

    Clearly catastrophising here.

    It’s so sad that such a talented team is struggling to take marks, hit targets, lay tackles, play footy.

    it seems easy. wait for melbourne player take the ball, tackle them with a teammate and wait for the melbourne player  to give it to an opposition player and then take the opportunity.

    Genuinely embarrassed with the effort the last two weeks.

    To be honest, the women's team hasn't looked the same since Goodwin said he could sniff an AFLW flag at the BNF.

    Wow. I wonder if any side has imploded so spectacularly in finals as we have this year. Men's or women's.

    Just a simple thing. Lauren Pearce played a great quarter, but she can’t kick straight. This is known. Why has there not been at least one option running past her to take the handball ? Not one, not once.

    Every single aspect of our game is poor at present, but our foot skills are simply atrocious. How can we have so many players who can't hit the side of a barn from 15 metres away?

    He’s so bad. I admire his confidence in becoming a commentator despite the most unpleasant voice this side of Kelly Underwood

    The commentators are the least of the problems.

     

    Certainly, but the audio assault on top of the visual assault doesn't make for a pleasant Sunday afternoon  :')

    I was writing a post to explain this, but I give up. I know what I would have said at half time if I was coach... But it is too late now. All we can hope for is that these women take some pride in their team and their personal performance in the final quarter. Our Golden period is clearly over. Mental issues more than physical issues. Its difficult to watch!

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
