Jones stood up>> in the last 2 mins.

His out on the foul when we needed a goal was just what we needed

Kicking 18 behinds is not coaching related

14 behinds MAT, 4 were 'rushed'

We needed a sight screen behind our forward line. We obviously couldn’t see Aliir all day

Worst disposal by a captain of the MFC. Nathan Jones hang your head in shame.

Had a few opportunities for career defining moments and he fluffed them. Sums up the side really.


Don’t know why we are playing Spargo over Kent

    We are mentally weak. Too many players go missing when the game gets tough. Unless Goodwin is kicking it for them can’t see how he’s to blame. Jones last quarter proves there is no excuse why he was weak as [censored] jogging between contests for the first three. Reset next week  and hopefully someone stands up and decides to take the game by the scruff of the neck.

    Port Adelaide, the second Geelong game, and tonight. All games we 100% should have won but found a way to butcher it.

    Each of them in different ways, but the bottom line is we have officially choked away top 4, and top 8 is looking 50/50 right now.

    Goodwin must go! Hopeless loss! 

    I am gone. I will be sending membership back and am presently collecting all clothing etc to put in good Sammy bin. The homeless guy said he will report me for putting rubbish in the bin. 

     

    We lose two two games to the cats by a few points now they sneak into the 8 . Well done you bunch of clowns

    What has changed for hunt’s run and dash to be only seen once in the biggest ground. This must be coaching but I don’t understand why he would be selected then.....

    Someone needs to tell that drop kick coach of ours Spargo should never be picked ahead of Kent. Cost us at least 3 goals with his selfish play.

    No composure. Panic after panic. 

    Our culture has to grow out of the losing FEAR.

     

    Composure is a must, in those ,little',,,  'critical',  moments.

    Jones. So flaky in a game that mattered so much

    Neal-Bullen can [censored] right off

    Hunt inclusion was a failure 

    I feel sick

    The umpires were [censored] in all four (both geelong games)

    Swans are an aging hack team who can't kick big scores to save themselves & we gift them 4 points with that [censored] goal kicking effort. Pathetic MFC.

    The lack of composure spreads thru the team.  Spargo did not start the lacking of composure.

    It was evident thru most of the game.

    Hunt is a dud. He got off the leash early in his career because no one paid him any attention.

    I love Jones but he should drop himself. 

    Sad but correct. No speed and takes 2nd or 3 option then gets caught.

    I cant see a serious future with him in the team. Started on the wing a lot also suggests goodwins thinking.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
