    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
