I know Goodwin will say we believe in our plan and program, that it was unacceptable today, that we know what we need to do etc... But we need more from him today. We, the members and supporters need an explanation from coach and President.

Just watched as much of the presser as I could, and you almost had it word for word! Just missed 'stoppage and scrimmage'.

He doesn't mind taking a million from the club though. What a spineless way to give up on the club that made you the star you are.

Disgraceful comment.

Spineless? he had a near fatal injury playing for our club. He carried the club in most games last year before being injured.

The club that made him a star, eh?. You mean the guy that got us a premiership, right?. Forget the NSM. He got 10/10 BnF votes from each of the 4 Demon coaches for the GF.

If you were there today you must have missed seeing how much he cares. He didn't give up today - many others did.

We stole the flag in 2021, absolutely robbed the dogs.

We cannot run , cannot mark, do not lead , and cannot tackle and are not fit. But we can fumble, Pity about XL,

To my mind the only time we looked a side was when AJ was throwing his weight around. We have been soft cooks since 2000 when no one stood up to essenscum and last year against Mmmaynard and then they shook his hand and spoke to him like he is human.

No wonder other clubs laugh at us and are not concerned.

On the other hand I did think most of the players were trying only a couple were half hearted,

I dread seeing what happens next week.

I 'm sorry Uncle. But I know you at least have a good sense of humour and are not as thinned skinned as some in these parts

I couldn't resist to tell you to stop bragging

I'll probably get suspended but if you have any emails of the powers to be at DL tell them that there is a minor flaw in the new website.

I did message through the contact us link here but everyone is probably too busy drowning their sorrows.

Ps its nothing to be ashamed of mate.

In fact say it loud and say it proud.

Deeve, hate to tell you the ability to edit a post you are quoting has always been there.

You’re right: I am good, I’m very good

That was very good . I probably should have kept mum.

For the record and I need your help I am totally refraining from any before things get out of hand.

I have informed DL and I'm not posting until it's fixed.

I did message with one of Bbos posts but that is all.

Trac's body language wasn't off ( looking from the MCC member's stand). At times he was frustrated, disappointed at his inability to contribute in his normal manner.

I think we need to remember he nearly died last year. It will take time for him to get back to his best.

This would be the 1000th time this has been said and it is still completely wrong. Next poster to say it should get a holiday. Also totally unrelated to the current predicament.

We do suck massively right now.

No

Just like this? Have people changed other people's words before?

If I'd known I probably would have put a few people in their place. Or at least toned down some of the abuse hurled at me on a couple of occasions. But do I really want a sanitized DL?

Probably safer to just disable it. Have we just been working on the honor system?

Thanks for the heads up LH.

It's probably the seven bourbons I've had that made me discover it and not remember.

I've also noticed a direct correlation between my Liver test results after two MFC losses in a row.

Probably no coincidence.

Actually totally related in a fashion.

We had a lot of things go our way in 21, not tge least of all was we played an odd style that worked....but only then.

The same ppl haven't been able to truly create a game that works for us since. 23 was close but we were found wanting by teams that had a better game.

We are where we are . It's not an accident, we're here by design.

It's totally relatable imho


I'm just wondering after the seven bourbons where people actually rate North M. and Gcs,?

I mean losing to the giants hurt but I know they are a good team.

I would not have thought so about the others.

Too early maybe.

Actually only six bourbans. I have small fingers too.

Is that a lot?

I started at 1.30 as well.

So one every 90 mins or close .

Any Hepatologists about?

Please don't anyone change that amount with a stroke to number sixteen.

It's going to be a tough season I fear for my health.

Picked the wrong weekend to give cocaine.

Having watched the demons as long as I have . 2021 was the aberration . So the statement stands upright by itself.

As does your last line , I agree.

I don't think people change a quoted poster's words. What they do is highlight particular parts by underline, 'bold' or take irrelevant parts out of the quoted post.

To clarify the poster's original post remains as written eg see the orginal BBO post quoted/adjusted.

Hope you are keeping well, deeve

I think they have a shot at top 8 but they won’t mount to much in a finals campaign. Both probably 3-4 years away from challenging… but both could just pull a Hawthorn.

30 minutes of the purest footy. We were unstoppable in that Finals series. Unstoppable.

I can't cop this stealing a flag business. Things did line up for us but we were clearly the best team in 21.

We’ve got huge problems,

viney’s reaction time has slowed and he can’t win a clearance - and he can’t be trusted to kick it into Fwd 50 - don’t know what role he can play for the last 4 years of contract!

Fritch - going through motions - dialling in a performance and should be dropped after some soft efforts

May - lost a step of pace and won’t be the wall he once was but there’s no heir apparent.

Rivers - has a crack but just turns the ball over by hand and foot far too often. But I still think he needs to replace Viney in centre.

Melksham - getting his super topped up over past two years but we should have moved on this year and fought for Membrey or Stringer.

Van Rooyen going backwards - confidence shot and needs coaching to be more active (on the move) in fwd line.

Goodwin - his game style over past 5 years has worn out players and he can’t pivot. No longer inspiring a performance and can’t solve forward line inefficiency issues - time to go.

I miss the good people we had around our club. Gus, Nibbler, Hibberd, Jetta. Bedford, Jordon.

All had flaws but guys you could rely on to crack in.

Honestly the types Tim Lamb brought in....billings...schache...Grundy...mcadam....we moved away from guys that could win contests...to guys that just have no physicality. Or weak mentality. Or weak bodies. You couldn't have managed a list more poorly if you tried.

We were such a brutal team at the peak.

Sigh

I just can't get over the fact that some seem to think we stole a flag, while others think we should have been a dynasty. Do our supporters even like MFC? I am so disappointed at today's showing (and last week's), but I'm not going to neg out about the past. I'm still so happy I got to see my team win a flag, even if I wasn't able to be there in person.

I thought North sounded better- with more upside for supporters before our game with them when they called out the players names pre game. And so it proved. Our response and this is Goodwins issue is when we have a goal kicked against us it’s, mid field, leaders have a chat with Max, put head down and just boot it out of the centre if they get it. So easy and predictable to defend against. And because they go head down all out attack they are in no position to defend from the centre if Max is dominant.

Viney, Oliver have been brilliant for us but have had an armchair ride from Max all their careers.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
