4 missed targets which have hit essendon players on the chest

 

Game has been going for about 3 minutes, and I have seen at least 5 of our kicks fall short of their target. Under no pressure. How are our skills sooooo terrible????
 

Whoever thinks James Sellar should be getting an AFL game is kidding themselves


6 clanger kicking errors. Terrible. Why?

errr...its raining??...maybe???

Garland to half forward??...with no Frawley?

errr...its raining??...maybe???

Disposal has been shyte, but players getting the ball of half-back have nothing on offer.
 

We do so many round the corner no look kicks to no one


We kick off one step that's our problem, no handball received, no play on and most of all no confidence

Great effort by Bleasey putting his body on the line. Very impressed with the change in the way he goes about his footy.

Not bad 1Q - much better defensively, just need some run and spread to capitalise. The longer we can stay closer to the Bombers, the greater confidence it will give IMO.

Dragged down Essendon to our level I see.

We can't hit a target, and we are lucky Essendon can't hit the scoreboard.

Half arsed sloppy tackling attempts all over the ground, Fletcher on his own in our goal square like some kind of sick joke. Flooding like the good old days because we are so desperate not to get smashed again.

And yet we are not even a goal behind, so well done Neeld. You've managed not to count us out of the contest at quarter time.

Football is utterly [censored] to watch these days.

Well strange 1st quarter, bit of old fashioned flooding it looks, seems the ball has been on Essendons forward line for most of the quarter, yet theyve only kicked 1 goal? Some good defensive work under pressure by the Dees, some good marks from Watts. Oh well 3 pts at 1/4 time.....guess wed take that.


My previous observations on Sylvia have been off the mark- he isn't a rudderless talent, he's just rudderless with no talent. Struggling to see it.

Jack Watts is having a great game. Essendon's innacuracy keeping us in it.

Our disposal is shithouse.

Golly gosht we're in front. Only by luck though

We have driven Essendon completely insane.....3 Goals in a row to THE DEES!!!!


 

Loving this. I know it's only early days! I know we'll probably be crying soon! I know we dare not dream, but [censored] me this is good so far :)

Great pressure from the boys tonight. Enjoyable to watch. amazing how things come off for them when the stop they flow in the other direction.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • 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.
