What a [censored] pathetic response mfc, you have lost me and my family.

 

Is Brian Royal coaching the backline now?

 

TMac down back, throw Oscar forward..

Good thing we traded 3 first rounders to fix up the backline.

    May have saved our worst quarter for now and that's saying something. I've seen junior footy games more organised than this. Everyone hunting the ball.

    Disgusting Putrid F’n brain dead backline. 

    Lets a spud like McKernan get 2 goals. The back coach must be sacked immediately 

     

    This is a coaching effort at this stage. Winning too much of the ball and far too inefficient. Structurally and defensively we are pathetic. 

    Two prime time night matches in the first three weeks of the season and we're playing the worst football in the league.

    Mutch is done for the night so they are one down already. Won't matter when they are 10 goals up, but still.

    I simply cannot get over how putrid we have become.

    Correct.  This is a bad dream.  essendon skills so much better     Give me bloody strength     almost unwatchable.  

    Interesting how, when under intense media pressure we are the one team who can be relied on NOT to respond.

    Go Dees.

    Very very average.

    Defense is putrid.

    There isn't as much bombing forward but still the delivery is abominable.

    Get your act together Demons!

    shocking by us and the umps

    Mekernen ran straight past the pack and bumped gawn to stop his run at the pack, play on, essendon goal, this is terrible by us and cant see the team turning this around this game while umpire calls are causing more score board pressure. We're [censored], but the umpiring is so far beyond [censored] it hurts watching. We've even been screwed with advantage, not allowed when in play for us, ball had almost stopped and play had halted, essendon goal.

     

    And the reaction from the players is? I will not be able to leave the house for a whole year if the Bombers win.

     

    We look slow.

    We can’t tackle.

    We fumble.

    We constantly overrun the ball on the ground.

    We can’t hit targets.

    We don’t know how to crumb.

    We can’t break tackles.

    We have no structure.

    We have zero accountability.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
