Just when you thought this joke of a club couldn't get any more embarrassing you get a 9g to 1 last qtr against.

Just go Goodwin ffs before you kill the club completely

Aaah that's be zero goals to us junior..... putrid

 

Wouldn't have happened had the Airplane played and we stopped loading in April 🤣 🙃 ☠️.

Servers are as cooked as this team and its spirit. RIP.

 

A loss like that is all down to a lack of on field leadership. eg giving away a critical 666 at a time like that …


Saints had Goodwin

 

I’m gobsmacked. They played without heart in the last quarter, and ripped the hearts out of many, many thousands of Melbourne supporters along the way. I assume they care, but after an effort like that, you gotta wonder!

Gee the servers are working harder than any of our players did in the last quarter.


What a bizarre game. We played with so much speed and dare for three quarters with Max giving Marshall a bath. Then, our midfield just stopped. Our on field leaders need to carry the can for a lot of that last quarter. Particularly the debacle at the end.

Even with the 6-6-6 breach they still only had eight seconds to score and we allowed an uncontested mark inside fifty

Great to see us beak another record, the biggest 3/4 qtr come back in VFL/AFL history, of wait....

How pathetic. For a team that had defence first it was shocking. It sums up how the team have been repaired and coached this year. Lack of fitness to run out a game.

The sub decision: What did Spargo offer when he came on, nothing. (his efforts were pathetic from what I saw on TV) Sharpe would have been far better, speed and maximum effort and would have made a difference in the last. Enough to hold on who knows.


As for the 8 seconds, why didn't the mid run with the oppo players as they run forward as that shorter kick was always on. I missed what the free was about?

Yeah time for the coaching team to go.

Cold. Wet. Train replacements there and back.

So pleased I made the effort to go.

what do you think of the coaching Bing


I'm very disappointed ...

... that I didn't put money on St Kilda at 3/4 time at very juicy odds.

I won't cancel my membership if Goodwin is coach next year. But I will reduce it from 16 to 3 games, cause that's about all I can suffer through at this point.

I was tossing up downgrading considering I've been paying for a premium seat on level 2 and haven't been going much this year.

I don't think I'll even bother downgrading. This has made up my mind.

I have two premium seats! So gutted! Absolute putrid last quarter!

Yes. When the coach is moved on we're going to be stuck with the same pea hearted playing group, with an in-built playing culture of 'never ever find a way'. I actually think the club might struggle for viability...people are increasingly embarrassed to identify as Melbourne fans and we're about to go through 5 or more years where it's going to get even worse on field

4 years removed from a flag that it has to be said was just an astounding case of luck and timing. The guys who played in that flag just aren't very good players.

Oof. Sorry mate


Well that was an unpleasant experience. I knew we would lose when we conceded the first 3 goals of the final quarter. So predictably pathetic. Something needs to change.

Exactly. Who actually was on wanganeen-millera all day? Our defence went to rubbish in the final term

As I indicated last week, I go to all the games (flying from NSW each week) but after the Carlton game and Goodwin scamming us with his press interview I decided to save the time and around $500 and stayed home.

I am so pleased I made the effort to do that.

Won’t be going as far as cancelling the membership as I am on a 21 year straight membership streak, but I might just downgrade to the basic $150 general admission membership.

46 pts conceded to a [censored] side like St Kilda who was on a 6-7 losing streak with their last win coming at the Alice Springs debacle.

Most people just don’t realise how damaging this loss can be going forward with Goodwin in charge. The entire club needs a freshen up asap.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
