to the 22 players who represented Melbourne today for serving up the most insipid uninspiring, embarrising type of Rnd 1 football ever in the AFL...

you are all a disgrace.. just pathetic.. no heart...no hope..

 

And to think that I told a lot of people that Melbourne were a great value bet for the 1st round!?!?!?!

I am in absolute disbelief....

We are at rock bottom now!

We are not even in the same league as Carlton!!!!!

I have not felt this low since ..... well..... my whole damn life!!

I know I'll get shot down for this but...I believe the alternate jersey should be worn until the team is worthy of wearing the traditional Red and Blue.

 

There was not one bit of hope or positive to come out of the game..... We as a side need 3 -4 years to bottom out before we go anywhere.....


For the first time in my life, I am speechless.

Also for the first time in my life I left the ground at 3/4 time. Really couldn't take it anymore. Every Hawthorn goal was like a knife to the heart.

Will be interesting to see what Bailey does next. If I was coach I'd seriously contemplate throwing footballs at the players' head repetitively.

 

Things that must change:

Need to add leg speed (Why did buckley spend so much time on the bench)

Set up zones with ball ups.

Have midfielders defensive side of packs

Talk to each other when under pressure

Kick long and not chips around defence

Play on... We are so slow

Play either Green or Yze perm down back as a sweeper-spare man

Tell Nathan Jones to make an effort to clear whn lying on top of ball

Play Davey perm forward

Get J Rivers back, even in a wheelchair he's better than what we have down there

Bring back Bate and Sylvia

Introduce a little secret called Run and carry

Learn to tackle the arms not the waist

There is plenty more but thats the first lesson...

We are pathetic... We may not win a game if we carry on like this.....

Fromtodays game only Green, Chook and Jones get a pass...

Totally shattering. Can we stand another 21 weeks of this total embarssment!!


Me thinks on thread is needed for Melbourne bashing.

is it me or was Melbourne playing like they were back in the 70s?

I cant remember the Dee's being at a lower point, definately sad. Our forward line of Neitz, Robbo, and Newton wont work.

Too predicable we kicked it long and hope they would mark it. Im worried for Newton can take a mark, but looks very slow.

Did anyone pick up on Dean Bailey's game plan?

He looked like a frightened substitute teacher in the coaching box.

Just have to ask Nicho if the Green he was talking about was Brad Green?????? What game were u watching????


Just got back from the game

Quote of the day:

"Bring on the Seniors!!!"

The great SKYHOOKS classic was ringing in my ears all day.

" I'm Living in the 70's"

Today was like the entire decade in the 70's

I truly thought these times would never reappear, but here we go again.

Worst game ive seen in my 31 years of life. Worst than the Richmond game last year.

Our worst and sole problem today was we didnt run...and didnt play on.

hey, i was just listening to SEN right now and there was guy who called up and was bagging melbourne and he labeled as a Disgrace to the AFL

It seems that Paul McNamee will have his work cut out for him.

People and sponsors aren't fond of losers...and thats what we definitely were today! :(


For the first time in my life, I am speechless.

Also for the first time in my life I left the ground at 3/4 time. Really couldn't take it anymore.

aww Jaded....you left before the mighty comeback !!! pmsl..!!!! :lol:

I have been a member of this website for a long time, and have rarely posted, but what I saw at the game today was enough to prompt this message in this forum. I am in no way trying to be one of the many who simply come on here to bag the players and their efforts, but today's effort was simply insipid. I sat through the entire match, cheering when they finally got their second goal in the 3rd Quarter, and at that point it dawned on me. I have barracked for the MFC all my life and have been a member and am still a member to this day, but the way in which that group of players refused to play for each other and the jumper was a disgrace to players who have come before them and given their heart and soul for that jumper. I am gutted by the complete lack of desperation from the senior players and in particular the leadership group (with Russell Robertsoon looking completely disintersted at times). As was mentioned on here in previous weeks., it again started from the warm up all the way through to the finaly siren. I have never seen such a pathetic excuse for a "team" effort toady, and I hope Bailey let's them know exactly the impact their performance has not only on the supporters, but the general perception of the rest of the AFL world. We are viewed as a rabble who is lucky to still be in existence. My heart beast red and blue, and I won't give up on them yet, I will sit through another cold winter (not at the snow), let's hope next weeks is better and they learn from their mistakes.

History repeating... and on and on we go

I was reading lucifer's post, and it wasn't until he started talking about Russell Robertson that I realised his message was almost five years old. If that doesn't tell you something about this club's predicament, I'll go hee.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
