That’s light on Frost. Him and Omac were horrible in the first quarter.

So was the midfield, especially Brayshaw and Tyson which led to the delivery by Meth Coast into their fifty. Multiple stupid and unskilled handballs and fumbles.


Bad post full stop.

We got to a prelim final and were over awed and out played by an experienced very good team. My 3 word analysis is for our team is 

"Too many turnovers"

Not fair to individualise players the TEAM played badly.

Team - seemingly no bootstops!

 

Season 2018 - a winnable flag

First time in my lifetime I actually thought we could beat the other side playing in the Grand final. That's what cuts deep about this loss, if we had beaten West Coast we could have been premiers.

This loss is in the top 5 most hurtful of my life.

I'm going to lay off the players, because the hurt is too strong to fairly analyze their performance.

Sad but true.

The Demons could not keep their feet !!  they could not handball.  Gave first few goals to the eagles from our mistakes and we played their (the eagles)  game   and not ours   !!

The team - overwhelmed by occasion 

 

   AND

 

thanks for season

And whom would you praise in 3 words for today’s performance?

Proudly finished fourth

I was scared to open this thread as I couldn't think of a single winner today. Didn't disappoint.

To be fair, that was an absolute dog day. Who did you think had a good day? Particularly in the first half when the game was up for grabs?

It doesn't mean the season was a failure, but that was a shocking performance today.

Yes what is it with that? Multiple Dees players falling over and costing us turnovers and goals.

This is not the first game that we seem to be playing on ice.

 

Not always one to go in for the three word analysis thread, but I can't really fault today's one, Joeboy.

It is a three word analysis of today's game vs. West Coast remember - not the season in totality

And I always thought that it was WCE who played on ice.

  • 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?
