    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 ?

    Did Simon do a press conference?

    What could you possibly say after that?

    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!!!

    We are the most learned team in the comp

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

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    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

    • 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.

      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.
