The best team we've had in 60 years and only one lock down flag to show for it. What a waste!

 

Boys mostly try hard but we just don't have the skills or composure to choose the right option let alone execute it

We've got 6 home games to come this season. These last two weeks will cost the club millions of dollars. 

Won't cost anywhere near as much as the brilliant decision to offer a 6 year contract to the bloke who was one head knock away from forced retirement..

 

They can’t do anything wrong and will kick goals from the 4th level. We can’t do anything right.


You don't have to watch the whole game to know what was going go happen today. Turnovers in the first and mo way of ever getting back.

No way we are making the 8. Goodwin lost this team weeks ago. Our game style, if you lose the side, it becomes evident. 

I'm not convinced were making the 8, but this week is very different to what we've seen the last few...

Viney needs to be dropped

Disagree, however whilst his endeavour can’t be questioned, he is not, and never been the +A grade player that many MFC supporters think he is, ie one sided who is an ordinary kick.

Yep I dread to think what we'll get to the nth game

Not really, a flag is a flag I would've taken one in my lifetime 5 years ago. Just a bit bitter that we didn't get to experience it live

Yep, that's the other ramification.

We're unwatchable.

Even when we win it is a hard slog but it could get seriously embarrassing.

In 12 months time we could be irrelevant again.

The decline is faster than the rise

I’d be looking to move on some value whilst it’s still there. We have good talent coming through in Windsor, Pickett, Howes, Bowey, Rivers and Sparrow. I’d be looking to cash in Petracca. Gawn, Viney and May will slow down. We need to replenish our stocks.

Perhaps Roos can come back and find another coach to hand over, strange though as Goodwin says they have hardly spoken since he took over, why is that, is it Roos or Goodwin

we tried a bit that quarter

awww

so proud of the boys

Hope you're "leaning into this" Simon

Haha that’s the new term now.


And to think it worse because half Collingwood team are reserves players. The team is not just inept but cultural issues have eaten the core of this club out. Truly sad that many of us will never see live a premiership live in our lifetime

We are still lacking in basic skills. Yes we are playing better contested footy, but we cannot execute simple handballs or kicks, and we have lost all ability to defend the turnover. And we are 10 down in clearances with Pies missing De Goey, Mitchell and Pendelbury!!!


We are playing soft football.

For anyone watching and stressing over this dross we're dishing up, i'd highly recommend you try painting something.

Great MFCSS therapy

How many times have we seen a score line like this. One more scoring shot  and we our six goals down.

Maybe it is on the coaches.

 

Also on the players.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
