Especially for a fair dinkum footy act.

 I mean let's be consistent at least.

Is Maynard one of the league's players most hated players?

    Got a feeling the Eagles have a big late out and will be poor against the Saints. Just our luck they had one of their strongest sides and absolutely set them selves for us.

    Tim Kelly out hurts them. Have a feeling too that the Saints will get a rare win.

    I’m still scratching my head as to why West Coast looked like a comprehensively better side that day than us. If you were new to the game you’d assume West Coast were a top 4 team and Melbourne were a bottom 4. The loss of Lever hurt but you can’t just blame it all on that.

    The game won't be saved by the change of interpretation to the HTB rule.

    Reckon i just watched three throws in a row and at least two incorrect disposals completely ignored by the same ump within about 5 contests.

    He put this whistle to his mouth about twice but no courage to pay the correct decision and just threw his hands up instead to play on.

    This was all with line of sight right in front of him no excuses.

    The horror show circus continues!

    their forward line is built around ground level smalls providing ground pressure - moore, ginnivan - plus an aging breust and gunston, and a spare parts option in chol

    they've got a gun father-son in dear for the future tho

    really, the best tall forwards come out of the first round, academy, or father-son selections

    I like the Crows list, their best players are very good, and I keep on expecting them to "emerge". Enough is enough. I am not a fan of coach sacking but Nicks has had 5 seasons, and they simply cannot play 4 quarters of decent footy, and too often play slack, boring, risk-free footy. 

    The young Hawks are the opposite. I love the way they are playing. Their young, no-name players are playing with hunger and aggression.

    didn't nicks get a new deal at the start of the season? their form away from the adelaide oval and without tex is a massive issue for his job security

    their forward structure is really missing thilthorpe

    Was it the same teammate he badly burnt earlier in that same quarter? Ginnivan ignored him on his own in the goal-square and missed the shot.

    It was Day. Nothing happened between them in that last bit of play, so you could be right, it may have been something that happened earlier in the quarter. Perhaps Ginnivan made some sort of snarky comment as they were leaving the ground.

    Regardless of what happened, it’s never good to see animosity between teammates. Take that sch!tt to the rooms.

    they have the same fwds as when they won flags in Gunston and Bruest. Or do you mean Moore and Ginnivan? hardly reliable scoring small fwds

    Why couldn't waterman & Kelly been late outs against us? I bet west coast don't perform like that again for the rest of the season.

    Ginnivan didn't have time to comment, as soon as the team mates got around him, Day busted through, gave him a mouthful and some really big shoves.

    Yep, it was Day who got burnt earlier, but it was not a good look at all. Quite surreal to see a team mate so angry like that.

    Yeah, when I saw the first couple of shoves I thought Day was celebrating in a ‘macho, blokey’ kind of a way, but as it continued, it certainly did, as you say, seem very surreal.

    • 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?

      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.
