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

    Please, no more.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
