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 


 

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'.

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'.

  • 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.
