Play the Casey side from yesterday. We would lose but the senior side might understand the level of their failure.

no. 44

many others that won’t get a game cause we never want to change anything up even though they deserve the opportunity

Yesterday's team played with way more desire. Swap them at least they will give it 4 quarters of effort.

We will lose this game. Just you watch.

Today there was a board meeting at the mfc. I suspect that before yesterday Goodwin and the vast majority of the team were set to continue in 2026. 24 hours can be a long time in the world of football. I believe we will see Goodwin exit at years end and a couple of our big names traded this trade season. We need the introduction of some quality players who don't go missing when it gets hot. You get these players by trading quality. Watch this space in September when cull begins.

Sparrow and Spargo have gone miles backwards since 2021, yet are picked each week on reputation alone. They are not midfielders nor do they offer anything in terms of goalkicking or pace or aerobic ability in today’s game. I’d omit them back to Casey.

I’d trade both of them at year end. Sparrow to the Tigers and Spargo to anywhere who offers anything draft pick or player (Spargo to Giants for Derksen works).?

I wonder what the crowd will be next week - against West Coast at Marvel early Saturday afternoon.

Any motivation I have to attend that game has currently been zapped out of me, this might change by Saturday but gee whiz.

another negative-$ return - you need what 30K to break even at that joint even though we own a 13th of it (the northern teams are paid for by the AFL and Geelong never pays for any ground it plays on).

I reckon 15K will rock up.

Can we sell the game to the WA Govt like North did?

It won't matter that we lose rather we make a $!

Harley Reid out for rest of the season.

No McGovern, Oscar Allen, Waterman, Sheed, Yeo, Jack Graham.

They’ve got us where they want us:

Our complacent best 🥴

I’d view that as a massive win considering only about 3,000 MFC supporters showed up yesterday.

I can tell you we won't attract a quality coach should Goodwin go, if we get rid if Petracca.

I know it will label us as flat track bullies but we need to smash WC by about a 100 points. We have to show a ruthless streak minimum as a first step to atonement. If we can do this, then it’s is something to build on for the rest of the season and next season. We are good enough to do it whilst they are still a decimated rabble. We just need the distracted Fab Four in the middle to co-ordinate their arses into gear and set the stage.

100 points up at 3/4 time and get beat !!

Knowing us, we'll win this by 100 and extend Goodwin another two years.

Take West Coast at 42.5 points we can't beat anyone by more than 5 goals. At least it's worth watching then.

Maybe they can work out how to count to 6 at training this week? Likely to have more impact on the west coast game than playing soccer.

Clever 👍

We'll win this game by 10 goals plus, take it to the bank. All those players who went missing in the last quarter will be up and about, the coach will be upbeat and adventurous and we will kick straight when it matters least.

The media spotlight will move elsewhere next week and we'll revert back to our usual form for the remainder of the season.

Hooray we will beat the worst team in the competition missing half of their best players. What a feat.

Absolute disgrace that we are even contemplating not smashing them!

I know that it goes against Melbourne Supporter etiquette, but I would consider the 1.5 hour trip up the Western Highway to deliver my own findings on my own club wide review, direct to coach and players.

The AFL will announce that if West Coast can’t keep the loss below 60 points they will be awarded a priority pick. This will be a blow out for sure. Melbourne players will again begin to think that their 💩 doesn’t stink!

As a player I would have been absolutely demoralised after Sunday. I reckon we'll come out as flat as a tack. Real opportunity for West Coast to get their second win.

Um what if we Lose??

This is the same club that lost to Essendon in 2016. The same club who lost to wooden spoon Carlton twice in 2006, hence destroying top 4 hopes and the same club who conceded 46 to St Kilda in a quarter, a side on a 6 match losing streak. Also, 186 that only we are capable of.

No club is ever [censored] enough that we are ever certainties. Injuries or no injuries, it’s insane that we are paying $1.08 against a side desperate to win another game.

We wilt under pressure far too regularly, even when we were contending in 2022-23.. We were kicking fine when we were on top, but as soon as Saints started to up their pressure, we started to wilt in front of goal.
