All I want in life is to see a centre bounce midfield of Windsor, Pickett and Oliver. Langford to rotate through the guts and petracca at half forward all night. We will be so much better off with that. Otherwise i fear I’ll be driving back up the highway before half time. I also realise that this doesn’t leave Jack viney with a spot in the team but I am perfectly fine with that given how he’s going.

My mindset: Angry with the coach Playing group is not playing for the coach Watching us play is horrible, boring and demoralising Nothing will get better until Goodwin is sacked Feels like there is not much hope with the current list who are confused and unhappy The fan base has turned on the coach but there are a still a few positive [censored] who claim it will work out and it’s only round 3. These apologists that accept poor standard are the problem with our club. BUT I will still go to games Still driving to Geelong, going to Adelaide and Perth and Alice Springs Not throwing away my membership because the club will still be there once the coach is sacked. Will still Barack my hart out for them

Simon is a moron. That’s all.

Agreed with On the Couch, the show needs an old head for it to work imo. First Crack is great though, probably the best actual football show. I wait till SEN upload the podcasts for Breakfast and Whateley and then listen without ads.

The hate on Tom Morris is rubbish even if he is a weasel. He gets everything right. Everything. He only runs with a story when he has the facts (hello Sam Maclure) and we just don't like it because its about Melbourne. Reality is, Melbourne have caused so many problems to be reported on and that is his job. Don't forget, he does barrack for Melbourne even if he is reporting negative things about the club.

There is literally nothing to back this up,

Playing group isn’t good enough and our coach isn’t good enough to get the most out of an average list. Nothing will change with Simon at the helm. Wasting another season.

Terrible idea, defense misses his leadership every time he isn't there and if was playing on Toby Greene like he normally does we would be 1-0.

23.2k against GWS (3rd highest ever I believe) up against the F1 which knocks off 3-5k and horrendous weather. It was a great crowd and a loud Melbourne crowd too. Go read the bigfooty attendances thread and you'll see how all the people there said it was a great crowd.

Have to be happy with that. Gave great effort and showed good signs all day. clearly ran out of legs in the last but that’s what happens when you play a team that’s already played. Thanks Laura and Andrew. Lindsay and Windsor are stars. Langford has a lot to learn. Team looks much happier this year.

Ye but that's an AFL initiative during rounds 16-20 not a club thing. 32K that day was a great turnout.

AFL members level 4 is closed, pretty certain that the Southern and Ponsford will be closed to. Will be 18-22k sort of crowd.

The club should be giving free tickets for this one. Will be grim considering the weather and the F1. Looking forward to having a bay to myself in the AFL.

No mate, most people that just care about going to a couple games didn't want to pay to go because we played a garbage brand of football. The people that care about the off-field shenanigans are the people who care about the club and will attend the games, its just that we got more angry and more depressed with them as the year went on.

At the end of the day we still have the same 15-20K people who attend no matter what. The membership numbers are just bolstered by fair weather supporters who won't pay for a 3 game membership unless they are almost guaranteed of seeing us win. It is what it is. Every club is the same.

Sorry mate, you'll have to remove your old man from your life. Only reasonable outcome.

Cheersquad in A17. I've just bought in A18 - thank god we aren't where the cheer squad was the last few years now with the new stand being open.

Shouldn't be on the MCG to police this. The clubs should be enforcing this, its not only a Melbourne issue.

The problem is Melbourne members giving their reserved seats to their Collingwood mates. Should lose their memberships for that imo.

I still get a row to myself for those games on 2A in the AFL - Just sit in the Medallion Club area which is always empty.

Yep I agree, its the only game I will consider using my Redlegs seats (I give them away every week so they are used) or MCC rather than sit in the AFL members where we are every other week.

They'll be closing most sections of the top deck at a lot of Melbourne Home games this year. Giants, Suns, Freo, North, Swans at the G, West Coast at Marel.

Nope, we have a home game at marvel

Fixture is a debacle. Sunday 3:20 galore, home game at Marvel. Off to Perth for West Coast again, back to Geelong, twice at Adelaide Oval. But, last 7 are in Victoria.
