So I'm not watching any footy shows apart from 360, only because I don't mind it & can't wait to hear Garry response.

Honestly if it were 2 years ago I might have been angry. Now I am just fairly neutral. 2023 broke me. I am still just absolutely gobsmacked at how far this club has fallen in the space of 12 months. It must be studied.

I feel exactly the same way.

I shake my head now in disbelief how badly our club have fu kd that period of dominance 21-23 and beyond up.

Strangely I’m not feeling over upset. Maybe supporting the Dee’s for well over half a century has hardened me up. I just feel a little numb.

Or maybe I’ll get a big dose of PTSD in the coming days. Who knows.

Spot on !!!

I felt privileged to be a Melbourne supporter 2021, now back to embarrassed like the other 40 yrs of my existence

Thank you for the AFL Premiership in 2021, Simon.

However, it is now time to go.

The loss this evening to St. Kilda after being up by 46 points at 3/4 time was unacceptable! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I noticed this during the last 10 minutes of that last quarter. Surely the players just gave up on the coach? That's what I was thinking, can't comprehend that no one was guarding the space just behind the man on the mark. It seemed deliberate.

“So, we'll learn from it, clearly, and grow from it. But it's unacceptable at the same time."

I get it, he has to spin it but [censored] me dead I’m over it. Why do we have so many learnings to do when we were the best team in the comp in 2021? What did we forget ?

That is depressing.

Now rarelyI agree with this grub but he's right...

Did Simon do a press conference?

What could you possibly say after that?

I tried but the same [censored] over and over again.

.....If the MFC was a close friend you would be organising an intervention at this point

10 years almost to the month when we didn't have the audacity to flood guys back before 6-6-6 and Joey broke our hearts at the death. This club does not [censored] learn.

No I will not turf my membership but dont be surprised if you just lost 10,000 members after that. You suck.

I reckon your comment about the club not learning is spot on. Ironically Goody's always talking about how much they are learning. What's really telling is the amount of supporters in this thread that could see where today was headed. We could see a loss coming when our team is 9 goals up in the last qtr!!!

Far out.

We are the most learned team in the comp

You’d be deleting their number if he was a boyfriend

Any idea how to get rid of this raging ball of anger in my gut?

any suggestions welcome

I think this senior leadership group is permanently scarred after the loss of Brayshaw and the two straight set finals exits.

The Swans were in the same boat after 2 grand final failures. But they've looked much fresher with Cox at the helm.

It has to be time, couldn't take another year of this.

Simon is disappointed and wants a response

That coach and group of players will have that hanging over their heads for the rest of their lives that they were the worst last quarter team in the history of the game.

The supporters have to live with all the residual rubbish we are going to cop as well.

How bloody sad and depressing .

Well we are back to being a laughing stock

I need a break from footy

I thought it was a good team effort in the first half.

The pressure and want was there and the embodiment of this was Viney.

The only way I can explain the last 40 mins of the game is if the fitness and conditioning department have completely [censored] things up over the past 3 years.

Goodwin managed to coach a record even Mark Neeld couldn't achieve

Mark Neeld never coached a team to an 8 goal lead

It’s clear, as others have said, we lack grunt and mental toughness. The immediate question is, who do we have that wasn’t playing today that has these qualities?

Perhaps May, possibly Campbell, Johnson (has grunt)… That’s it!

We need a focus on these qualities in all future recruiting. We need a few of the types that we despise who play for rival clubs.

MMM box losing it

All rooting for the Aints

Why not a warning for the 666? I don't remember one earlier.

What’s even more inexplicable for me is that we started the game with our best first qtr for the year before we had the worst 4th qtr of all time in the same game
