2x 50 meter penalty goals. One was there one was a disgrace by the maggots.

Why do we do this?

On top of all the bulltish we have to cop from these cheating umpires involvement in the game.

We also don't have any sort of composure at all in front of goals, if we had we would be winning that game.

I think Lindsay needs a spell at Casey. Turner was fantastic and l was impressed with the Kolt.

What was Max thinking with that last kick? I’d love to know what May said to him?

Not too bad thanks GWW! All of the numbers are heading in the right direction, but the chemo/immunotherapy is making me feel like [censored] and draining my energy resources. Thanks for your concern… greatly appreciated!

With you HT. Stay positive, its all you can do . Treatment and care has progressed so much.

If you need a break in Beechworth to recharge,let me know. We have a cottage Lochwood Cottage AirBNB and have offered to Dees as aprize in the past.

======================

Beechworth? I have a couple of friends living there and one was going to organise a gig for our band at the Beechworth pub. If you ever run into Steve Burrell or his partner Debbie Healey or a musician (one of Australia’s best guitarists who used to work with Slim Dusty) named Jeff Mercer, please say hello.

Sorry disagree. Its the composure of Pendlebury and Sidebottom V Clarry and others in the heat. And poor decisions and kicking. Should be proud of the effort. May was lucky Max didnt floor him. He is the GOAT. Dont blame him.

This.

We are our worst enemy.

I hope May gets dropped. Going Gawn after the siren for his missed kick. That’s not the love Melbourne plays with. Bring back TMac.

What the hell is wrong with you, did you watch May today?

Max knows he f’ed that up and he knows May knows no other way than to say how it is, at the tone in which he’s feeling it. They’re big boys. They’ll be fine.

May was outstanding today by the way.

100%

We try our guts out and miss easy kicks

it’s so hard to stomach

Yes.

Umpires are 2nd worst

May was wrong but the guy played his heart out. Show he cares. Seriously we butchered that and it been happening for years. Other than bottom teams how many close games have we won.

Nar wrong there, every reason to go off terrible disposal,!

We should have won that game, and this isn’t an excuse - but that was incredibly suspect umpiring all day

Some things we could have done better ....duh..

Some chances could have been taken better...

Hindsight is marvee eh...

Simon you did well. A few players 🙄 might want to watch a replay and ponder. Some might just want to stfu.

But my take away....well done Dees.

Go shove a carrot up your arses umpires.. what a [censored] joke you lot are.

Just a little bit of composure.

The 50 to Daicos, the rushed kick by Oliver, I can’t go on because today hurt.

Lead sport story on 9 is May and Max arguing

You can't get stuck into a team when they play with that level of commitment…they were just more efficient in front of goals …plus they benefited from appalling umpiring (I rarely blame umpires btw) …Lack of a key tall go to forward cost us again

The Brownlow votes for this game will be interesting.

Which of the four umpires will miss out?

A million times, go [censored] yourself May

An absolute disgrace. I was already livid at him for screaming at a first year player in Lindsey after that 50m penalty and then he has a go at the greatest ruckman of all time for a bad kick in the last 30 seconds. He can go and get [censored].

Lindsey dropped his head after that spray and continued to make mistakes. As if he needed an over the top verbal spray from a senior 'leader' player.

Bravo.

We were exceptional today.

Yes we probably lost it ourselves but would have won had the umps been a little impartial.

Proud of the MFC today.

On the train home from the game: that was a hard one to take. Boys played very well: a couple of brain fades at the end was all that was in it. Langdon did a great job on Daicos, especially in the first half. The umpiring most definitely had an influence on the game, but not the sole reason we lost. Pies just that bit cleaner and savvy - they were lucky today.

All in all, a great effort and once we get cleaner use, we’ll be thereabouts.

The club remains silent on it though though so it mustn’t be an issue?

They have to as do the media. The AFL control the narrative

How far did McCreepy run in the last min when chased by Kossie???!!

Keep kicking them soccer balls lads.

Only 4 players stayed back for goal kicking practice on Tuesday.

Kicking efficiency is pathetic for professional AFL players.

Culture. Culture. Culture.

Umpiring needs to be investigated by the AFP

7 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

Langdon on Naicos ‘worked’ but I’m not sure it ‘worked’

They were just cleaner than us with the ball in hand

Tend to agree.

While Daicos was mostly ineffectual, tagging him took out the run and carry that Langdon usually provides.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul I guess.
