Two turnig points: ANB dropping an uncontested mark. And Captain Viney passing up having a shot on goal to stem momentum.

Frost and O Mcdonald are not AFL footballers.

    Great kick Weid......theres a pulse

     

    Essendon has 7 goals from only 12 inside 50's this quarter.

    Someone needs to be held accountable. This is not an irregular stat.

    We have always had poor skills and been a fairly dumb side. Couple that with lazy and we are the worst team in the comp

    Maybe the player we traded in for the player we paid pick 2 on

    I can't even remember who that is.

    We traded Toumpas.... Three way trade I believe.... Pies involved?

    Pretty sure both Port and Geelong were close to that ratio as well.

    I have settled, and so have we. Number 1 draft pick here we come. We all know how much good that will do us!

    Melksham having a mare

    Why does he keep running under it?

    he was in perfect positio there and it was kicked straight to him and he ran himself into the worse possible position.


    7 goals from 12 inside 50’s this quarter. What pressure we are applying!

    what cr@p will Goodwin spew post game?

    What a transformation. Seriously WTF did we do over the off season? Gone backwards in both fitness and game plan

    Jeez the umpiring is how do I put this not indelicately , borderline corrupt 

    Why the [censored] would u kick sideways Weideman you [censored] [censored]!

    He's looking for the body contact rather than just judging the flight of the ball. Needs to forget about taking great contested marks when he can take easy almost uncontested ones

    7 goals from 12 inside 50s. This is a common stat under Goodwin.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
