Very Jaded

I feel like now is the time to focus internally on the things that we can control and that really matter. While I think umpiring this season has been woeful, and has impacted results, and the commentators are rock bottom quality, these things had nothing to do with what we saw last night. We had 3 sides get spanked this weekend who should have gotten the media spotlight, and we managed to somehow snatch that away from them, with the most embarrassing performance of the round. Ouch. Not even Patrick Dangerfield eating a souvlaki will top the level of humiliation I am feeling right now as a 28 year member.

100% correct That 6-6-6 infringement and the lack of manning up on NWM in the 45 seconds it took Marshall to be allowed to play that free, was diabolical. What was worse was blowing up a 46 point lead to a bottom side that kicked 7 goals for the entire game and went on to kick NINE straight in a single quarter to our ZERO goals. That is an absolute joke, and it never ever should have happened. The only acceptable way this happens is if we start the 4th quarter with no bench due to injuries and get overrun. And even then I would expect to hold on to such a large lead. In no universe is that last quarter even mildly acceptable. There is no excuse, no explanation and no reason to believe that this turnaround was not a total failure of execution, application and coaching. Every player and coach involved in today’s game, Windsor aside as he was subbed off, has to take a giant chunk of responsibility for what happened in that fourth quarter. Most especially our leaders and our senior coach who sits on the bench. We never ever should have got to a stage where scores were leveled with 8 seconds to go. What happened at the end was just the cherry on top of the [censored] cake, but it’s one poor moment amongst dozens of poor moments to created this debacle. We have lost our ability to win.

afl.com.auOnline threat to Simon Goodwin reported to AFL Integrity...An anonymous social media post has been passed on by the Demons to the AFLI know everyone is upset, but this is putrid behavior. If it was a Melbourne member I hope they’re banned for life. Everyone is entitled to be upset and angry, but let’s get some perspective. Rubbish carry on!

You’d be deleting their number if he was a boyfriend

-200 points to anyone who participated in that last quarter Hence 6 votes Windsor

For us fans too

Thank god we dropped Jefferson tho

This is NOT me having a go at Spargo, but he is a terrible choice of sub. He has no versatility in role at all, and playing him as the sub ahead of guys like Laurie or even Billings given their form at Casey, and ability to play multiple roles, makes a total mockery of the guys working so hard at the lowest level. Again Spargo is not at fault at all here, but it’s SO infuriating to watch these poor selections.

Everyone is to blame. Leadership, midfield, defense, forwards, the moron who subbed Windsor off for Spargo, persisting with Petty up forward, nobody going near NWM in the last quarter, that putrid 6-6-6 infringement, Kosi and Melksham standard on the bench in the last like they aren’t MATCH WINNERS. I have run out of things that be mad about. 2025 has been a [censored] disaster from start to finish and something has to give

Was Windsor a tactical sub? And was the tactic losing? Asking for a friend

Sackable offenses all around. I’m a very patient person and I have a lot of time for what Goodwin has brought to this club, but that last quarter is unacceptable by any measure. I watched us dish up a lot of trash over the years, but this takes the cake.

Nobody can survive this

And a 6-6-6 penalty. What a joke. This is a disgrace

Why would you want Kosi and Melksham on the ground? I mean surely

Kosi and Melksham on the bench. WHAT?!

Midfield needs to all get sacked for this quarter.

Get absolutely [censored]. God I’m so sick of being so sick of this team

This is the most revolting thing I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a LOT of trash from this club. Putrid

Disgusting. So Melbourne. Can’t get our hands on it.

Are they drunk or is he injured?? How is that like for like?! Madness

Chin is an underrated king

Embarrassing work Can’t trust this team to make a game enjoyable
