Every decision these umpires make is terrible!

Midfield is getting smashed. They look much better around clearances.

Our ordinary players are getting exposed for what they are. Ordinary!

Regulation five-goal win to the Bombers

 

Well that's the closest thing I've seen to Neeld-footy this year. Even including Round 2. It's an absolute miracle we're only down by 20. Thank some great defending and some very wasteful Bombers in front of goal. Very disappointing.

game is 100% over

Hahaha you're kidding.. it's three goals, still another half to play

that's close to the worst half we have had all year and they are only 21 points up, that's only a good 10 minutes
 

I think Paul might be having a quiet (not ) chat to a few.

Hoping for the "other" Melbourne to take the ground this next half

Good God. Giving up before half time.

It's only 3 goals.

Roosy will speak very soon.

Yep game isn't over, but that margin is awfully flattering


Just not working hard enough at the moment, where as Essendon want it badly. Simple as that.

Trouble is we only score 3 - 5 goals a game.

This team is great at being not all that great. Defend well but break down and simply refuse to take the game on. I understand the defensive mindset, but is there really such a lack of talent that they can't score more? They get the space but then fluff the kick, kick it inwards, kick it above a short player, or all of the above. It's frustrating to watch. Awful.

And yet, still in it. Amazing.

 

The plan only works if you come swithced on and they are certainly not switched on today, they stemmed the tide for a bit there just through the structure but the dam walls can only hold for so long. The boys better ome out with a better attitude and greater intent in the second half or we are looking at a 6-8 goal loss

Melbourne's future is Viney< NJones skipper, Grimes NOT, Jessie Hogan. We carry a glut of ineffective mids. Bail's another. While he occasionally breaks out and kicks a goal it's no where near enough. Viney's GUTS is good to see if little else at this early stage. He will get much better. Matt Jones. He's a mystery. Plays each week and gets a whole lot of the ball but never damaging. Similar to a Cotchin type but not in the same class. Most of our forwards give the impression they're scared of a goal.

Any more Farmers, Jurrahs or Davey's out there??


Carn Dees

Whatever it....

I mean....

King looked like he wanted to give Goddard a big kiss in that interview. What a pack of flogs Fox Footy have as commentators.

(Happy 100th post to me)

With or without tongue

Please god just lift in the second half.

10 inside 50s is beyond deplorable.

Classic Sunday twilight enjoyment.

There's just something so annoying about Bombers supporters.

We are making it so easy for them to mock how very very bad we are.

I'm glad Hogan isn't playing yet, the zero run and delivery through the middle would surely crush his spirit.


I'm off to watch a movie with the missus, will check back later but expect a 10 goal loss and essendon to be praised in the media about how mentally tough they are, it is gonna make me sick bunch of cheats

in roosy we trust.

Trouble is we only score 3 - 5 goals a game.

Exactly right. It's all well and good stopping a team from kicking a high score but we have to score ourselves, and we can't. I honestly feel like the plan is to restrict the opposition scoring then work on scoring ourselves sometime down the track. As if we're working on one thing at a time.

Hope this makes sense. Im on pain killers, flu meds and using beer and red to wash them down. It also makes watching the game easier.


What a disgraceful effort by some of our players, have not been sighted, have not tackled have not chased and too many who cannot deliver the ball. damn poor effort they need to lift dramatically or this is going to blow out.

I'm off to watch a movie with the missus, will check back later but expect a 10 goal loss and essendon to be praised in the media about how mentally tough they are, it is gonna make me sick bunch of cheats

What movie?

I can highly recommend "The trip to Italy"

 

We need better work from clearances. If Jones gets it, it goes no where. If he doesn't get it Essendon clear.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
