Really hope Gold Coast end up laughing all the way to the bank with that trade. If I have to read the term "Holy Trinity" one more [censored] time, I might just projectile vomit.

WADA convicted drug cheat. Hardly the type of bloke you'd have any respect for, if he was your captain.

What the hell happened to the high-scoring Demons? Last year we were sacrificing Roos' defensive structures but the outcome was higher scoring. Now we're leaking goals to the opposition all over the ground and sruggling to score at all. Essentially, we've sacrificed both offence AND defence. I've concluded that something is seriously wrong with our coaching. So many of our players have gone backwards at lightspeed.

Christ, why couldn't we have gotten Dew? Has the Suns playing like superstars and he's been there a few months. Goodwin's "game plan" (that's being generous) has been found out and he clearly has no answers. Speaking of, I've never seen such an inept "game plan". It seems more focused on exhausting our players than SCORING GOALS. You can only handball around in circles so many times before you turn the ball over, and when your players are too exhausted to defend, it results in easy goals against. So what the [censored] is this [censored], Goodwin? IT. CLEARLY. ISN'T. WORKING. Just so glad we have this year's draft to look forwar... oh, that's right, we gave up our (probably) top 5 pick to Adelaide in this year's draft. Joy!

The whole situation is just baffling to me. As everyone else has said, we've gone backwards at light speed. What the [censored] has gone wrong with this club in the off-season? If we keep this up, we'll be lucky to get out of the bottom 6.

Pointing out when someone is lying is not "stating an opinion." It's called "calling out [censored]." I understand why it's done, but I'm going to call it out for the BS it is.

He lied through his teeth about the camp as well, notably the player involved in the coalition against it. Anyway, what do you expect? He's the captain, they're media trained, they're not going to say anything controversial on TV if it means getting a teammate in the [censored].

Not surprised my total disinterest in the club over the last 6 months was vindicated today, with yet another predictable dagger to the heart. I'm tired of wasting my energy, and spending my weekends feeling this angry, over a club with a perpetual loser attitude. The only thing innovative about the Melbourne Footy Club is their uncanny ability to find new ways to break supporters' hearts, even after a decade of abject misery. I said time and time again last year in all those close losses, those were the avoidable losses (at least 4 of them) that costs a team finals. The brain-fades, the last-gasp moments of laziness and stupidity... we all know what happened next. The result of next week's match will be telling. After their pathetic effort against Brisbane last year (remember how we missed finals by only a handful of goals?), what happens next week will tell me everything I need to know about where this team is at.

What a rubbish last couple of months from the MFC. One deplorable PR nightmare after another.

Because Sky News is a bastion of journalistic integrity, right?

Not even a pick upgrade? I don't really understand why we folded so early on the Lever deal if we didn't have anything else significant in the works, apart from bickering with Fremantle over third or fourth rounders for Balic. Dodoro very impressively secured all 3 of his targets in the end, and wisely held off on Stringer knowing the Dogs had no choice but to move him on. Port did very well too.

Great! Quick Mahoney, it's not too late to give all 5 picks to Fremantle for Balic.

The way we're traveling, why not a future 2nd round? Hell, throw them the 31 we got for Watts as a sweetener.

Pretty cute speech from Clarry. What a great lad!

Can't be a tie. There was a tie for 3rd which meant there was no 4th.

WTF! Viney 2nd? Either Hibberd or Clarry not even top 5?!

Nathan Jones 3rd.

Lewis plays those 3 games at the start of the year and we make finals. He was worth the packet of chips we gave up to get him, by a mile!

Lewis tied for 3rd place with someone.

Someone needs to tell Nev to lift the microphone to his mouth.

A strong coach? So obviously a coach who turns a blind eye to shithouse cultural problems and rampant drug use. A match made in heaven, indeed.

I reckon Seven manipulated the audio to reduce the booing; it was deafeningly loud at the ground and outweighed the cheering by a substantial margin.

Scully at 1, Trengove at 2, Martin at 3....

Umpires absolutely hate us.

Oh no, not La Fevela! Better than Sky Garden at least.
