How do we get outnumbered in every part of the ground?

    Derpwayne basically having an orgasm right now.

     

    Surely this is a coaching issue it just seems we have no structure defensively I can't understand how we arrived again this year with such a poor understanding of the basics of the game

    Supporters leaving already....?


    Ever since the R23 debacle, I made a promise to myself I'll always wait for Melbourne to earn my membership. 

    would have been easy to renew over the summer. 

    Very glad I waited. I know it isn't much - petty even - but it feels satisfying the Dees finally have to earn my money.

    Lever and May won't fix much.

    How is it possible to be, boringly once again, ahead on inside 50s yet be 7goals down. 

    Just has to be poor structure and incompetent coaching, and or lack of heart. 

    ONE BLOODY GOAL SINCE QUARTER TIME!  EXPLAIN  THAT GOODWIN looking more and more like an Essendon implant.

    ...Being outplayed by the St Kilda Spuds. 

    Such mixed emotions. If my son hadn't been born on Wednesday, I'd call this a bad week. Instead, it's my best week ever. Maybe when my son starts to follow along we'll be ok?

    We climbed what felt like Mt Everest with an albatross around our neck, when we finally got there we got a little taste of the chocolate, then fell all the way back down right back to purgatory.

    You are diverting. Nothing wrong with the umpiring.

    Miss finals (which now seems a certainty) and i expect a mass exodus of players looking for somewhere with a promising future at years end..

    This club is sick to its bones.


    I have said for two years that Goodwin needs to go. He is the worst coach in the comp. we lose the exact same way every week and are actually getting worse at it as at least we used to be able to score but that is now gone. 

    How we signed him for another 4 years without even giving him half a season to prove last year wasn’t a fluke, I will never know. 

    Another season down the toilet.

    That quarter was a genuine embarrassment. 

    They were +40 or so in disposals but +8 in tackles and they beat us in CPs. 

    That sort of effort is utterly disgraceful.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
