It’s the same flogs every week that blame umpires & commentators. FCS forget about them and direct all your anger at our Football Dept, Recruiting & List Management. 

You get the results you deserve!!!!

Mate no one is blaming commentators for this loss.....

    Made a Prelim last year, and have played maybe 4 decent quarters of football this year.

    "There are signs of improvement". So there are some small signs of better defensive play for a half? That's it?! That's the story?

    Just wow

    If you want to spew up , watch Goodwins presser. He is positive and thinks we are moving in the right direction

    Well, should you be still on Essendon’s payroll then that would be correct.

    Mate, there are several Posts slagging off how Tonight’s commentators are waxing lyrical over the Tigers. Just not important.

    When you kick over your shoulder you are quite likely to turn it over. You do that because you cant get a meter on your opponent to turn chest facing the target. We are unfit which accentuates our lack of speed.

    Valid point @Damo

    So perhaps Goodwin in his pressers,  detailing how surgery has impacted on fitness,

    which impacts on availability of athletes

    which impacts on roles

    which impacts on running patterns

    which impacts on available strategies whilst unfit

    which impacts on technique

    which impacts on 4qrt efforts

    which impacts on confidence

    which impacts on execution

    which impacts on trust in others

    which impacts on subjective things from the fans such as , belief, hardness, desire of said team, players etc...

    could be a useful thing?

    Those "high picks" were 2nd and 3rd rounders. Taylor is amongst the last  who should be sacked.

    But of course, you'd know best

    We used to get players like Howe, Kent,  TMac in later rounds. Now we just get a bunch of Casey players because Taylor isn’t bothering to scout further out to find the best available. 

    Outside of Oliver I can’t think of any other pick Taylor has nailed.

    I'm one of them, and not once did I blame it for the loss.  I'm insane, but not that far gone.  And it was annoying have to listen to it all night.  I apologise if you enjoyed it.

    I feel numb after watching that. I loved the Anzac tribute so I am glad that I went along but the game was horrible.

    I'm so glad i didn't attend the match. I won $100 betting on the Tigers though. Money for old rope.

    I put $50 on Hawthorn at $2.04 a couple of hours ago. Those odds have now shortened to $1.70.

    Glad someone else can see it. I've been on about this for years when half of demonland lauded him as some kind of saviour. With what he has had at his disposal, he has done nothing special. Wouldn't be in the top 8 recruiters.

    You're clueless mate. These picks were the highest we've had. A recruiter should nail these picks... A pick in the second round should not be an stab in the dark. Picking weideman when he had question marks all over his endurance was a blunder. Name one player we have drafted recently bar Oliver that would get a game in a top 4 side??

    I don’t enjoy it or dislike it. It means absolutely nothing, it has no importance in the big picture of what is happening with my footy Club.

    If you think Kent and Howe (at MFC) are "nailed", you need to look again

    I thought we might have a chance of pinching this game as our efforts were good up till half time, but we kept wasting the ball with poor disposal and no forward connection again.

    Richmond just opened us up and played like the well drilled machine they are.

    Preuss tonight  may have helped , but for some reason we have lost our skill overnight.

    We are soft and lazy. 

    The Richmond Way - tough grit. Knock on.  Shepherd. 1%s. Tackle hard. Man the mark.  Chase. Run and run and run and run. Smother.  Stand up.  Deliver the footy. Run to create ahead of the footy.  

    reiwoldts answer tonight on how the club brings in youngsters so seamlessly: 'ahh, we have a game plan thats pretty simple really.  It only requires effort".  He then wore an expression of someone who had mistakenly let the cat out of the bag.

    Let’s talk about the MFC lovechild Viney, who cannot hit a target, who attempts to break every tackle, despite not having the strength to bust through, who handballs at his teammates feet, who is just a fknnn good average player.

    Mate, you genuinely think that all the Casey players we drafted were dead set best available when we picked them? Surely your taking the [censored]. Surely

    The amount of times we punched the ball when unopposed shows our complete lack of confidence

    Massively overated from day one. No idea as a Captain and he is totally exposed this year with the runners not on the ground as much to direct things.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
