    Look!!!! Anyone who thinks the criticism of the umpires is just scapegoat searching needs to do some simple, and documented research. The free kicks that were dubious (even to Wanka Carey!!!!) came whenever we looked like mounting a challenge... The umpires had an agenda!!! It is so @@####ing obvious!!! Do the re-watch folks... Stop searching for the players to blame and jot down the umpire number who made the decision! We have suffered from this for a long long time... and we will continue to suffer until the corruption (ok, if yo want to be kind... ineptitude, is exposed by data)

    We fair dinkum need Benny Hill music when we play.
    Especially Frost and Omac.

     

    Some of the mistakes by Frost and OMac are laughable, I honestly don’t think they’re good enough for Casey

    Tonight’s observations:

    Tom McDonald looks like he has concrete in his boots, He looks like a poor mans Pederson/ Dawes

    opposition teams must lick their lips at Frost and Omac in the back line.  God they’re dreadful footballers

    ANB is the new iron hands of the team

    Totally out of form: Hibberd, Jones, Tmac, Petracca, Fritesh, 

    struggling with form: Jetta, Viney, Melksham

    we’re so unfit it is staggering.  I might give the next few weeks a miss

    Season is absolutely gone. I wish I could say I'm done with this mob but I'm off to Sydney next week, what a waste of time, money & effort. So [censored] off.

    Seriously, how have we allowed ourselves to be overtaken by everyone else, again?

    We set ourselves up last year. We finally broke the finals shackles, and hoodoos against some teams, like the cats. But here we are, apparently an 80-point worse team against the cats, a loss to the bombers who have thus far been a joke. So much so that there are murmurs of that drug cheat Hird returning to the club?

    Was it the rule changes? Nope, because we have all had the same time to adapt. Are we tired? What the hell!? It's round 3 and it looks like we're slugging it out after a long season. Where is the heart? Why are the Cats playing out of their skins (weren't they 'done' last year), why are the Bulldogs playing good footy with a mixed list? Why are the Lions firing? Why the hell did Goody's contract get extended without some proof this year? He's been outcoached every game this year! He is always reacting, never ahead of the curve, and his stupid smirk at the presser is driving me nuts. He's being paid a lot of money, tell us how he's going to fix this... not that it will get better over time, or that am 80 point drubbing is a positive sign.

    What is happening?!!

    Jones needs to relinquish captaincy. We aren’t going anywhere with him at the helm.

    Jones was far from worst

    I've got a feeling Goody is going to talk about "Connection". FAAAARRRCKKK!  We won round the centre, just like we did against Geelong. Essendon just play better footy, just like Geelong did. We are F....wits! So many dumb footballers. So sick of it!!!!!

    Tom Mac to CHB.  Frost or O Mac out.  Take your pick.

    Keilty to play at CHF, pinch hitting in the ruck.

    It's something to do with the cattle we have.

    The more I think about the game, the more I feel our main problems are twofold:

    1. Poise. We get heaps of the ball, we get repeated inside 50 entries, then fold under little or no pressure. I am not expecting players to play without any errors, but more to have a consistent mindset over the ball that minimizes skill and decision making mistakes. 

    2. Intensity. We can't play a full quarter at the same intensity, let alone an entire game. And often we have whole quarters where every player looks like they are running through mud or jogging around. 

     

    3. We don't seem to understand structure

    I hate to say it but we need Frost on Franklin next week, he’s our only option.

    Who should bring the lube?

    The scary thing is T.Mac is a worse defender then he is forward

    First play of the match. Jones hacks it forward, we're outnumbered, they run it out and goal. 

     

    Very resembling, Simon

    I never once heard the commentators indicate that Melbourne received a fortunate free... I heard them question at least 8 frees to Bombers... Time to mobilise folks... bend over and take it or take action to expose this trend against us!

    What happening where poorly coached; have a spine which is bottom four and spent our riches on two injury prone defenders.

    Is he a worse defender than what Oscar or Frost are currently bringing to the table?  May is still a few weeks away, Lever even longer.  We need to try something.

    We should just get rid of Misson now before he [censored] up another player.

    Him and Troy Chaplin can [censored] right off

    Seems to me TMac is a big part of the problem, all those forward entries and he just doesn't get near it.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
