The team is not what we were led to believe. Just when you thought there was hope. This. I think finals are now a pipedream this year. No system, no structure, no defence. This is simply back to reality for MFC supporters. We are once again the laughing stock of AFL. Unforgivable for this list.

Miss finals (which now seems a certainty) and i expect a mass exodus of players looking for somewhere with a promising future at years end.. This club is sick to its bones.

8 scores from 14 entries for the Saints. Our defence is easily the worst in the league for that stat .

We are winning every single stat except frees..... Yep, we are behind on the scoreboard.

Hahaha Trac... future hall-of-famer... ffs what a terrible set shot he is. Disgusting.

I want to give everyone a hug and we havent even started the game. GO DEES !!!!

i AM !! Predicted a 4 goal win earlier but im happy for you to be closer than me. I feel it in my bones. We are back.

Geez, for a bloke who runs a footy-based website, you sure dont know much about the players. Tony Lockhart was much bigger than this guy.. This is him. Sheesh.

I think that today the team will show that they are back. Dees by 24 points.

Tippa is the new Eddie. Would love him at our club.

Too early for the "Welcome to Melbourne FC Ed Lagdon" thread? I mean, he's as good as ours yeah?

This is what it comes down to really. If one of our players had repeatedly [censored]-canned Asians (for example), been warned not to do it again but continued to slam Asians regardless, which then led to MFC losing the China southern Sponsorship, we as a club would also be within our rights to get rid of that player. He can say (almost whatever) what he likes but if the boss gave you multiple warnings......... Yeah, too many rush to offence these days, particularly millennials (Softest generation in history), but this is a bit different imo.

My glass is half full.

ARE YOU CALLING ME STUPID???? *gets huffy and acts offended...... ?

Any Dees supporter worried about this game needs to give themselves a face-slap. I doubted us last week, but still maintained that we were going to play finals. OK, we wont have anything like our best team on the park. No disrepect to the Saints as i reckon they have finally found their mojo, but we will still beat them in a canter.

Cant say i am disappointed to be wrong about the result. Saw the second half on TV and thought we were all over them. Fantastic efforts by the whole team, and special mention to Jonsey. Great captains goals in the last. The turnaround has begun !!!!

i have been thinking all week that we will get slaughtered tonight, and the late changes have made me feel even more certain that will be the case. Wont be at all surprised if the margin is over 90 points. Yes, i actually believe that. As the game starts i will be sitting down at a nice restaurant with Faulty and our wives, about to tuck into a seafood platter. Not even going to bother checking the score until we get home so it doesnt ruin our night out. Good luck to everyone watching, i hope im very wrong. The turnaround begins next round imo.

Nah, no data Skuit, i just have memories of losing most times we had a big milestone to "celebrate", but ofc it was down to the fact that our team was junk. Since 2015 would be very interesting tbh. 100/150 game milestones are the main ones.. (50 games ones arent that important imo)

Yeah, coz we do milestone games so well................ ( Not a shot t you P-man, we have been hopeless at milestone games for years)

Would not be surprised if this is our biggest loss for the year. I honestly think we will be slaughtered. Next week the turnaround begins and we start to rebuild confidence in the game plan and each other (players i mean) Cant bring myself to watch this game live, thats how little faith i have in the team right now.

If we still need players to buy into a 3 year-old ( Arguably even longer ) game plan, SOMEONE has to accept responsibility for that not already being the case. If players still cant buy into the plan then either the plan sucks, or the offending players need to go. How is it they are still in the team if they havent bought in? Are there too many? Are they seen as too senior/important? Do they have goat photos? Whatever the answer this is simply disgusting by those concerned, players and/or coaches. Time to grow up MFC.

And would we be interested in chasing him? Do we have any way to make a trade if we were? I believe we have to use our first round pick this year at the draft, so we probably wont have the currency unless someone gets traded out. Thoughts?

I will stick to round 5 being the start of our turnaround unless a miracle happens and we beat Sydney. ( We wont, it will be a slaughter IMO) I have maintained since the season began that we will start slowly before bringing it home in the back half of the season. I will stick to that prediction because im a stubborn [censored] who doesn't like admitting to being incorrect. Keep believing Dees fans, it WILL turn for us this season. (I hope)
