How bad must that have been.

I was there, it was bad but understandable, we had a shizen side playing one of great sides of any era on their own dung heap. I am not sure this isn’t worse!

    We will make the eight.

    We will be seventh.

    This is a club very much in decline as evidenced by the players we have recruited and kept in Schache, Hunter, McAdam, Fullerton, Bbb....to name a few.

    Where players like Petty gets gifted game after game because there is simply no replacement.

    We need to rebuild are list and that takes time.

    Today is not an aberration. It happened two weeks ago against the eagles. And before that to Carlton and the lions.

    We can be competitive but the difference between our best and worst is vast.

    Our once touted midfield is alas no longer functioning like it used to and we have one good fwd in Fritta.

    Today is ample proof of our deterioration.

    You cannot downplay the game plan it needed to change after 22, I have said it once and will say it again one paced midfield a forward line that is non functional and what will change, nothing.

     

    Pathetic.

    Uninspiring.

    Weak.

    Gutless.

    Embarrassing.

    Ordinary.

    Feeble.

    Poor.

    Miserable.

    Sad.

    Wretched. 

    Pitiful.

    This is worse that 186. We have stars on every line. Premiership players galore. It's a diabolical performance. Geelong were the best team in the comp in 2011., and we were garbage. Freo are bottom half of the 8 at best. I'm a positive footy fan, but this is a disgrace.

    When you have everything to play for and do this - you’re a disgrace of an outfit.

    Every single line is out of its depth and playing below itself. There are lots of reasons why we’re this bad but we don’t have a single line that is performing and that’s just abysmal.

    We have a right to deserve more effort. I don’t expect to win every week but we MUST at least show something!

    I'd prefer anyone.

    Can't be much worse and at least a statement is made.

    But your right, some terrible recruiting and lack of thereof,by us leaves us with nobody else.

    Why are we loading so heavily at this time in the season?

    Cus we have a bye coming up, and to have a better set of legs come September! 
     

    This is hilarious reading the mania.. it’s genuinely cheered me up — knowing how silly supporters get (me inc many times I’m sure in the past) from one game! If you can’t see there’s something desp right about one side and wrong with the other then you’re either blind or delirious.. 

     

    Lets see how many of these same names bob-back-up in a few wks saying “it was the turning point” or it was “an outlier” result.. 

    Sure, I may be 💯 wrong but this team right here has proven over and over they’re made of the right stuff and jumping-off to me seems to be the antithesis of an erudite Demon fan.

    Its awful, my 10yr old footy nut daughter — who is someone that lives and breathes footy (playing/supporting) is an absolute mess right now as she’s never seen this, has no reference for it at ALL.. So I’ll be dammed if I’m gonna encourage her to be a fire-weather supporter! Not saying anyone here is, but I’m saying we have a choice to go we react & im choosing to trust this group as that’s what their history has proven!

    Sack Goodwin! The game plan sucks and it’s the blueprint to beat us laid before us, as it has been by so many sides now

    And which Freo started with our first loss in Rnd 11, 2022 and have had our measure since

    This is not one game tho. We have been average all season. Other than Geelong, and maybe Port, who are both non contenders, what quality team have we beaten this season? 
    We are playing like an average team, when we should be pushing for a flag.

    Petty has one disposal in three quarters of football. Needs to be dropped ASAP.

    Be fair… he’s had 2… one kick, one handball 🤣

    There’s something poetic about Wagner not being able to get a game with us when we were trash….and now he’s playing for the opposition while we’re trash 😂

    Where's the pride?

    With the rest of us watching on TV

    This has been on the cards for a while. Good that has happened now so hopefully something can be done for the sake of this list - forget this year. It has been ruined by poor coaching and skill execution. 
     

    A team that has trouble scoring against the #2 scores against team will kick over 20 goals. Goodwin hand in your resignation-  you have lost the players.

    Too many people at this club just content to be getting a wage, including the coaches!! [censored] poor and embarrassing.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • 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.
