We need Dawes taking marks in the forward 50. Use Pedo/Frawley as the lead up forwards. Watts is no good deep so get him the ball for the last kick to Dawes. It's no good having our contested marking forwards playing off half back.

 

Wow. Just wow. Terrible first quarter. The worst I've seen this year (I wasn't at the WCE game).

Ball movement is terrible, forward options non existent, decision making deplorable. We are loose and can't kick a footy.

Luckily the gap is small so there is time to turn it around.

McKenzie - possessions, zero.

A bit of a step up from the VFL.
 

Jones and Tyson both very quiet today. And Frawley? Pathetic. Three very easy, gettable goals and we buggered up all 3. Even Riley should have gotten that one from a few metres out.


It's days like these that, whether you think we've been out coached or not, we are very lucky to have Paul Roos. I have some faith that he will address that nonsense at the quarter time huddle and hopefully elicit a response from the players. Under previous coaches when our players turned up with this attitude it turned into triple figure floggings.

A lot of Essendon players being allowed to 'run' around on their own and under very little pressure at times.

Dean Kent has attributes, but Jordie McKenzie has nothing to offer. Nothing.

McKenzie - possessions, zero.

A bit of a step up from the VFL.

his opponent Brent Stanton hasn't touched at all either.

Deserves every inch of credit so far.

Settle down lads its being played on our terms and we are in this.


McKenzie is playing on Stanton who also has zero disposals. So much whining.

Hope Frawley has a mirror when he is contemplating where we are heading as a footy club, he has given us nothing for sometime.

Players that question where the club is going before signing, then proceed to drag the club backwards through their own inadequacy are a joke.

We're looser than Paris Hilton!!! Man up,there's loose Bombers everywhere

Chip wants 800k next year,he's worth 350k tops

McKenzie is playing on Stanton who also has zero disposals. So much whining.

So it's 17 vs 17. Big deal.


It does make it easy for Roos to decide who to delist if this rubbish keeps up.

Col's always good for one silly free a game.

Thank God they can't kick straight either.

Let's not kid ourselves about game plans. It's their poor kicking at goal that is keeping us in it.

Not looking great early

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    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.
