Does anyone else want a 100 point loss so something can change? 

Doesn’t matter how big the margin is, the change won’t come

    UOf course amiss doesn't miss against us. This is going to be a percentage killer, a top 4 killer & maybe a top8 killer

    At this point I am seriously considering missing top 8 may be the best for this team.

    New ideas are needed to keep pushing the side forward.  Yze bought in new ideas that had impact and success.  His replacement doesn't seem to had the same impact.  We need to go and find a high quality senior assistant to chalkenge replace Goodwin and push the team.  

    Fixed it for you

    Getting smashed and people are blaming the umpires? Come on. 
    First to the ball = first to the free. 

    No one is blaming the umpires for us getting done. That's on you.

    But are we not allowed to comment on the standard of umpiring?

    It's the game day thread, FCS

    Not thinking I'll need to WANT it.....

    Not something I didn’t consider.. but prob don’t need 100pt to ruin confidence entirely but hey — modern footy is week-by-week proposition that’s for dang sure

    Whilst not blaming this pathetic performance on the Umpires, aren’t people allowed to comment on poor decisions ?

    While simultaneously kicking one goal a quarter.

    Glad I turned it off

    Is Simon still there ?  ..  asking for a friend 

    Any chance we could turn up to a game with the mindset of putting immense pressure on the opponent?

    Frees 4 - 12 not one HTB

    I wouldn’t be looking to the free kick count as a reason for the scoreline… we are playing rubbish footy, the likes of which I haven’t seen since the Mark Neeld days.

    Can we still sack him despite having extended his contract last year?

    Definitely pre Paul Roos era, so 2013.

    Are our players just content to be on an AFL list? 

    Said it before and will say it again, we arent that good.

    We arent a big club.

    And this sort of stuff affects membership too.

    What a shame.

     

    Freo player drops ball instead of returning to Windsor who won the free. No fifty called. More [censored] umpiring

    The funny thing is, it’s change we’re trying — we could go back to 22-23 Brand in no time but WHY? Do what you’ve always done and you’ll get same result.. 

     

    how can no one else see this IS trying to change????? Goodness me.. I’d rather we don’t change and just kicked straighter (ly) but I also see we can’t keep getting to finals, dominating i50 and LOSING!!! We lost 4/4 finals — We have to try and transition our game and we will, it’s a bump in the road, just hope for no injuries & put it behind us!

    Like what?

    This team is done and dusted.

    Mentally lazy.

    It reeks of .." but we have won a flag."

    Us supporters deserve better than this.

    Shame on these players.

    Shame on the coaches.

    I feel sorry for those fans that spent their hard earned going to NT for this game.

    And why exactly are we playing in Nt to start with?

    Like we haven't travelled enough this year.

    We are still on time to try and do a mini rebuild. Starting with the coaching staff.

    I think some peeps have been a bit spoiled.. I wish I could make it so that when you jump-off this quickly you can’t enjoy the high-rides but I know where you’re coming from and would’ve once felt similar but this is a perfect day for a team that’s choc-full of confidence and we’re barely there! Maybe this is a butt-smashing we need?
     

     No reason it can’t be.. I choose to keep faith, everything’s going right for them and it’s evident they’re chasing in. I can’t smash a team that’s given me so much resounding reasons to trust them.. I mean look at that Serong Goal for goodness sake off back if DARCY lucky goal and Frederick boundary goal, that’s just bananas & good on em!

    We’ll bounce back next week.. you don’t lose ability overnight for goodness sake! 
     

    Harden up ppl, it’s a crappy day — move fwd.  

     

    I suppose for some it's the same it's as being a Trump supporter stuck in a bubble.

    the fact our second best defender is probably also our best forward genuinely makes me laugh.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
