    Yeah, call me childish but I quite like the start of this one also.

    Why does this thread always turn into  MFC player and coach bashing? 

    Some avoid the postgame threads after a loss and come on here to talk about other games specifically. 

    You watching this Goody?
     

    That’s how you move the ball Goody. 

    Why didn’t we recruit this tall bloke?
    Does my [censored] head in.

    Just got home from being away for the long weekend

    Reading this thread, thinking it might be safe from the des copping grief form their own fans. Alas, not to be.

    DZ's post above was written during the Giants v Pies game, one the Giants went on to smash the Pies (easily could have been more).

    I'll keep reading.

    I wonder if I'll see multiple posts writing the Pies' flag chances off. Because you know, poor loss first round and it curtains and all that.

    Even if it is against a finalist from last year on their home deck in tricky conditions. Reasons = excuses.

    Some equal opportunity hyperbole. 

    Or maybe there might some balanced comments about where the Pies are at?

    Pies looked good enough to suggest they will be thereabouts again - like us their F50 personnel is probably their main weakness

    They will miss McStay as much as we miss Petty. Johnson was disappointing, Cox was just that, Mihocek is slightly better than JVR arguably, Hill is their Pickett and Schultz is very overrated imo, Elliott always asked to play taller than he is, McCreery is ok but no star

    And a football action.

    Surprised Cox didn't jump onto Mummy with a shoulder to the head, given Coll get the green light and all

    Pies defence was terrible. I think some of it can be attributed to being one short there every time Little Nicky goes for a wander upfield. Every turnover and it's extra numbers ahead of the ball for the oppo.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
