    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 …

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
