Post match Discussion "Fire away"

To those who were waiting until todays game  to decide whether to renew or not, I applaud you for using common sense.

 

 

 

I'm getting in first. This is the worst defeat in ten years ! Worse even than the demolition job the Cats did on us At Skilled Stadium in the Bailey years.

We were and are  PUTRID! Too many players far too easily pleased! Chuffed we were about last week! Yeah that was our equivalent of winning a Premiership!

Let this sink in! We lost to a team of Top ups! What a absolute disgrace we are, Can we possibly get some players that actually will Bleed for the jumper!??

Poor coaching and poor selections contribute. You reap what yiou sow! The embarrasment I feel is is palpable!

Congratulations Demons, it's taken us all of 2 weeks to be the butt of everone's jokes, yet again. Fine effort

 

Same players that beat us last time: Goddard, Daniher, Baguley, Zacharakis! 

We learnt nothing!

D-E-S-P-I-C-A-B-L-E!!

Joke of a decision not to play Dunn. Seriously  15 [...] marks to Daniher and they decide to leave our most experienced tall defender out for Lamumba

Team of competitors.    yeah right.

 

The MFC ethos - Tip the team, but back the opposition... 120 clams is a small consolation.

 

What the heck is going on with Jesse Hogan? lazy, sooky, not leading, he is not even close to the player he was last year.


I don't even know what to say about that performance.  I really thought the players would see it as a terrific opportunity to smash a team and go 2-0 to start the season.

And we serve up rubbish.  I'm laying the blame solely at the feet of the players today.  They didn't run hard, no appetite for the contest and allowed them to do as they pleased.  I continually thought the players would take some responsibility at each break and look to make amends.  We did so briefly in the last... and then we fell over and completely lost the plot.  

I'm positive at the best of times but I can't take anything out of that game.  Nothing.  Maybe Kennedy was a positive.  Vince and Jones had a dip.  But outside of that the only word that comes to mind was 'putrid'.

So many passengers. So few leaders. So few that have the confidence to be AFL footballers.

BenKen was the only guy I saw that put in a 4 quarter effort.

They chipped the ball all day and we did nothing to stop it.

Ross' inability to change the gameplan.

Forward delivery was bomb it long to Hogan and pray, even though he was double/triple teamed.

Disgraceful disposals and turnovers. Kicking for goal wasnt much better.

We had guys jogging when the game was on the line. Its the 2nd round.

Could go on forever. A embarrassing loss to say the least.

 

Today's performance stunk worse than one of my dog's turds.

Most if not all of their goals came from our turnovers..... let that sink in.

According to the AFL match feed:

All of Essendon's goals have come from intercept possessions in this match.

Mfc

Please explain

 

As picket said, this loss hurt more than any other in the last decade of ineptitude.

Essendon, with their bunch of washed up Grandpas and kids, had 128 more possessions and 16 more tackles than us. So much for a team full of 'competitors'.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
