Are we going to do our usual thing and come back in the last to lose by less than a kick, and then claim it to be an honorable loss? That practice is a load of bollocks

You know how it works here!

It is..... but it's definitely not going to happen tonight or again this year.

We are done.

Maybe twelwth spot finish this year.

No more straight sets rubbish I suppose.

I’ve never seen him so angry. Can’t blame him. I would be suspended for life if I had been out there tonight.

To be fair while the umpires are horrible, we are losing because we are completely terrible and being dominated all over the ground. 

 

Our recruiting since 2022 has been putrid.

McAdam not even ready for VFL.

Hunter is a semi retired player.

I hope we don't screw it this year or we'll be in a world of pain for a long time.

Oh right, TMAC forward now.

Tanking lite?

Goodwin clutching at straws.

Third quarter with the season on the line - right on schedule.

Just get 14th on the ladder. Still possible.

Kolt’s lack of pace worries me. 
 

Lever without May = 🫠

 

My poor son traveled 800 ks for his first game tonight.

Thank you Mfc for turning him off footy.

Or maybe into a dogs supporter.

Thank you for calling it out.

I'd add Billings to that.

Done well with some youngsters but those others were way off.

 


Did TMac just [censored] up Viney’s goal?

No one is denying that we have played terribly or that the umpires performance is any better

McDonald forward is the right move. Provides mobility that none of the others do, and we were getting nothing from Petty - who would be better down back in the absence of may.

Aaah Max, you kick one of those 60m goals once a year.

About one in ten attempts

Let's try one game not blaming the umpires. 

There hasn't been one game in the last month where they truly cost us the game. If we, a list with several premiership players need a good rub to be in a game then I suggest you go and support swimming or a sport without umpires.

The ARC is the real winner tonight

Boomers v Greece just starting if you you don't want to watch a qtr of junk time 

Patty Mills would be a medium sized forward like Fritta if he played for the Dees :laugh:

Sadly only the kids drafted have been a net positive.

That’s a wrap for me. Boomers game about to start 


There needs to be a lot of changes in the off season starting with assistant coaches.

I have said it before, his failures in 2019 and 2020 after making it to a PF were telling.

2021 we had the perfect season, including injuries.

0-4 in finals since the premiership.

All those finals played at the MCG.

Goodwin's credit is well spent IMV.

Sums up his performances  minus since 21 have been poor … not sure what strategy is & confusing 1 over 2 or 1 ruck & our mids getting smashed , failed to trade any decent marquee player of any position ..  needs to be moved on

I was thinking the same. Then remembered that there’s no way I can support an organisation that allows males to fight females. It’s appalling and truly disgusting.

I was done after the depraved opening ceremony.

Petty with Disco forward.

TMAC was competing harder than anyone else down back.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
