Completely unacceptable!

Time for some hard decisions!

Time to bring someone in that isn't attached to the players, easier that way.

Steven Smith and Paul Guerra there is alot of work to do, stop the walks with Goody and look at the club for what it is currently.

Memberships will drop under 50k next year no doubts about it.

    Kossie brought some magic and great to see Fritsch back in some form but otherwise not much to cheer about

    Lost to a carlton side missing half their first team.

    We’re finishing bottom 6 again because we’re not a very good side

    Our skills are not good enough. How many times did we kick the ball over the head of the leading forward. 5 times at least

    And we’re not well coached either

    Big changes need to happen in the off season

    Sad way to celebrate Claz

    Poor skills, shoddy umpiring and yet another loss to those grubs.

    Thank the footy gods for Kozzie

    That was very ordinary.

    I don’t know what the club is going to sell us for Season ‘26. It’s not like we’ll get a lot of players back from injury. It’s not a great time to be a Demons supporter.

    Sack the coach.

    2026 will be a rinse and repeat of 24 and 25.

    MFC said at the start of the season would be playing finals.

    NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

    It used to be just the forward line was the problem now it’s everywhere. I hate being mediocre it’s just deflating being insignificant again. We deserve better and the club promised we would.

    Nearly 40 years watching multiple games every weekend and I've hit breaking point thanks to umpiring. The rules keep changing and the umpires can't officiate a fair game at this point. It's not just Melbourne games - every game feels confusing and like a narrative is being crafted.

    I miss actual football.

    We are genuinely a bang average footy club.

    Our skills are absolutely deplorable and probably the worse in the AFL competition.

    Old players are completely washed up and cooked.

    Makes me sick to think we've got another 12 months of Goodwin rubbish.

    The move of putting Bowey to half forward will be talked about for at least 7 minutes on the podcast this week as a reason for Goodwin to get an extension.

    At least 2 goals gifted to them from the umps. There's the game right there.

    I said it in the game day thread and I'll say it here - against the big clubs - and ESPECIALLY against Carlton - the umpires NEVER miss one of their free kicks, and they miss plenty of ours.

    How are we supposed to win with this list, against the wishes of the corporate beast of the AFL's financial interests?

    It's too much of a handicap to bare

    Horrible decision wasn’t it. Do we win with it?Wed have gotten to have a shot at it anyway. Another low moment in a low frikn season.

    How anyone can watch that and think it's the responsibility of the coach is beyond me.

    The focus on Goodwin is just not the place to be looking. Good players find a way...and all these premiership players come up short in pretty much every tough contested game they are in. They just aren't very good. There's enough evidence now. What happened in 2021 I have no idea...but before and after too many of the highly rated players just can't deliver when the heat comes on. Time to go in a different direction (if we can even offload these crazy contracts)

    Agree. Well said. No one showed any heart for Clarry.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
