Deescraceful. Beaten by team only put together in the last few months with a few nice rookies thrown in who ran harder, were more desperate around the pill and ran to space/on the lead on umptean occasions to ensure their runners up the field had multiple options on the spread. Their spread and hard work killed us and made most of our guys look like the team that had been pieced together in the last few months. The melbourne of old reared its ugly head today. Kent, Salem, Bugg, Hogan were shown up by a 2nd gamer in Clarry. Some of Kents/Hogans work or lack-there-of today was horrid horrid horrid.

Thought we might have been moving forward but we took about 5 steps back today.

Lumumba dropping of marks with no pressure.

Watts lack of any Intesity and they way he was man handled by old man Kelly.

Hogans head is in WA.

Kent did he play? 

Gawn wants to be best ruckman in the competition? 

Could go on all day..... I'm done.

Once again we are a laughing stock. We have lost any respect we had built over the preseason. No matter who we beat now, people will always through this loss back in our face

I watched all my pre-season optimism go down the gutter, I was confident but [censored] that was [censored] poor, the players deserve what Roos will dish out at the press conference.

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.

Don't you dare critique Wonder Boy, PG....

You know what's the worst part?

We've made a whole lot of Essendon supporters very happy tonight.

This performance of ours will have given their whole putrid club a new lease of life.

And they will feel that their arrogance is completely justified - thanks to us!

Tmac - idiot.

Hogan - believing his own hype, loves a whine at the umps

Nate Jones - needed to inspire and lead, failed.

Viney - Was beaten soundly.

Harmes - poor again

Bugg - poor

Watts - poor

Lumumba - goodbye

kent - terrible.

Gawn - got slaughtered today.

Salem - NOT A DEFENDER!!!

Coaches - pathetic, pathetic, pathetic.

Melbourne FC - Typical effort and ability. As a whole this club is super poor. They kill my love for the game, I now don't want to go to games, it's not worth the 5+ hour round trip.  I'm not even angry, I just knew that we would lose, it is just typical of this club to roll over and cop a rogering from a club that on paper is worse than ourselves.

Its like the players see we are favourites, put their feet up and fondle their balls all week.

We didn't get enough from too many players. Our ball movement was slow, we didn't work hard to spread and we weren't first to the ball. They smashed us in uncontested possessions and as a result we didn't deserve to be as close as we were. 

In some ways the defeat was comparable to the 148 loss. It proves there's still a very soft underbelly at our football club.

I'm surprisingly calm. It was such an insipid performance though. I can feel the apathy returning. 

I was hoping this would be a season where we would become more consistent. I know it's early in the season and that could still come, but it's a pretty bitter pill to swallow.

Said it in the game day thread. Will say it here.
We are the most immature team in the AFL. We stagger over the line last week and that is enough for some.
It felt like Groundhog Day going in (our loss to Essendon last year). Contented playing group, backs to the wall opposition and us going in hot favorites. You could just tell this was going to happen.
Tom McDonald needs to be dropped. I don't bag individuals too much but some of his decision making is ridiculous. It's been 4 years that we've been saying that he needs to play within his limitations and this happens!
It's not season over by a long way but if that group is aiming for finals then they are a considerable distance from their goal.

Did not work hard enough with and without the ball. 

No energy, talk or direction on ground, 

our forward line set up is a joke. They either all clump together and don't lead or are so far up the ground there is no target. 

Hogan needs to realise if he doesn't want to be double teamed he actually needs to lead and preferably multiple times. 

Pathetic in any way you spin it.

Hogan = 2nd year blues.

Turning point was when he didn't lay a tackle on Gwilt with that scrambled ball that came into our F50, just let him waltz it out and they had yet another end to end transition. Think it was all tied up at that point. He really needs a bollocking.

Lumumba was insipid, and should not wear the jumper again IMO. I'd honestly rather have Terlich playing.

They are incapable of handling any expectations. They deserve to stay in the bottom four.

I expected this performance but hoped for better. They can get 10000 new coaches and it would make no difference. 

This club has a cancer that is terminal.

This is an all time new low for this football club. We get sold this [censored] about how the clubs changed and moving forward its all a load of [censored]! The players don't give a stuff... How can a bunch of players put together weeks ago show more heart and passion for the jumper and their supporters. Our players couldn't give a [censored], they showed a complete disrespect for their opponents today's and refused to man up and stop the possession game essendon were playing. Beaten by a side who weren't tipped not to win a game all [censored] year and here we are giving them a win in round 2... The players should be ashamed they've shown a complete disrespect to us as supporters and time and time again they let us down. They can get f$%#ed

If only I was surprised, there was a justifiable reason many of us were nervous about this game.

 

Mentally, this club makes marshmallows look tough 

Hard to cut those marshmallows, and that sugar coating could bring a dieabetic down in a heartbeat - oh wait, that was last week.

Only one word for this week.

Crud!!

I am so angry with that effort displayed today. Worst loss in the club's history. Getting beaten by a team of ageing hacks. Time for Roos to step aside if he can't get them up on game day.

Things we know...... * a week is a long time in football, * desire wins matches, * we have nowhere near the depth or quality of footballers we were beginning to believe, * this week we are the worst team in the AFL, * it's going to be a long season, * next week is going to be very ugly.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
