Didn't realise Brayshaw and Oliver were late outs? 

I swear to god they didn’t touch the footy this game.

We are stuffed. We look completely devoid of any confidence and poise. Lost all our contested ball winning aggression. This season looks gone.

Jones is finished. I’m sorry mate but if you can’t snap for goal on your left from 40 out and even get it to the goal square then it’s time to move on.

 

I've lost my stream but sounds like they're out of sorts

Poor mental strength. It's either 'panic stations' or if they've managed to put together some nice play for a while it's 'all good now, so let's ease off'

DO WE HAVE A MIDFIELD OUT THERE??!!

Is Viney playing?

Nah, haven’t seen the real Jack for nearly three years now.

This is going to turn ugly, we are now playing without a midfield. 

Still not winning ball at the contest. Where's the hardness gone ?

 

Swans get 3 soft goals due to our fumbling turnovers. Max keeps putting it down Swans players throats in the middle & who is playing on Alir Alir? Make him accountable FFS.

    There fixed it.

    Mids need to lift.  No doubt about it. 

    On the flip side we took our chances when we were presented with them.  We haven't done that at all this season, so that was good to see.

    Our two way running still needs work, especially with their run and carry from half back.  We aren't playing well, but plenty of players can improve.  Not over yet.

    He’s doing a lot of faux tough guy fighting. 

    We have awful leadership.

    Sydney's highest score in 12 games is 93... we give up 34 [censored] points in a quarter. Hore and Fritta only two defenders that can hold their head high

    Our intensity is gone. Our midfield is shot. Our season is on a knifes edge here.

    We look a bit scared again. Don't want contact and crapping ourselves and going to ground constantly.

    Hate to say it but we've reverted to type this season...back to the bruise free Demons. Last year was an aberration on the physicality front (even then it wavered at times). 

    Seriously..... we just chip the ball into the 50 with no attempt to spot anyone up... no leads! Can’t understand it.

    Horrible start to this game.

    Pruess, Max and Hore look ok... that’s about it so far ?


    Letting Sydney score 5 goals for the quarter when they look as rubbish as we do. Well done. 

    How long does someone get to correct how easily we get scored against?

    Reckon Roos would take the job again?

    They watered the ground before the game despite it raining in Sydney for months

    Tactic!

    Our hands are woeful in the dry,  we're f...d in the wet

    We’re so reactive.

    WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS??

     

    They have almost 110 touches to quarter time. Double ours.

    They have 13 shots on goal from 17 entries. 9 scores from 17 entries.

    They have double our uncontested possessions. 

    They have 13 more contested possessions.

    Despite having so much more of the ball, they have laid as many tackles.

    That was an annihilation.

    To be fair, the kick was on his non-preferred, so it's to be expected.

    • 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?
