this is a team with no structure, no intent, and zero leadership.

 

 

I don’t understand how we’re not learning any lessons with all our players being drawn to the ball and the opposition getting the spares on the outside. It keeps happening.

Why is it Dwayne Russell every week? He hates us.

2 gettable goals given up now... Jeffy being Mr Selfish and Lockhart could have steadied

Jeffys last game based on that quarters decision making.

You forgot skills .. 

Why can't we execute basic footy skills ever...

Multiple Hawks get away with dropping or throwing the ball and we got pinged for a dubious to high in our fwd line. Almost goal.

I think I say it every week how the hell an AFL player can still try to take a chest mark is beyond me, extend your arms, there is a rule where a player can’t chop your arms (never applied now a days) and you can’t be spoiled!!

Hawks stroll into space. I am just utterly in shock at how bad they are.

Confidence shot, skills nowhere. If you can't get simple 2 metre handballs to reach their target ...


We are just horrible. 

We have no confidence and don’t trust each other. 

Garlett u r done at this club. That was unforgivable not to pass it to TMac which would have been a definite goal. 

Terrible skill level.

No leadership.

What has happened to Tom McDonald and Fritsch?! Neither are even VFL standard at present. Staggering drop in form.


Our inability to string a few possessions together under any sort of pressure is embarrassing.

Week after week our inability to man up with the oppo has the ball should see Goodwin sacked for that alone. Totally useless. PLayers thnk they can guard grass and the Dorks just waltz through unimpeded.

 

Hawks will pull away to a 10 goal lead then put the cue in the rack to stay fresh and uninjured. We will still madly run around like ants whose nest has been disturbed, and to the same effect.

in shock? we've been awful for 2 months


Our setup at ball ups or throw in is disgraceful.

They have  2-3 unmanned behind the pack and every clearance goes to one of them and then run the ground. 

Bloody man them up or go Coach under 7’s. Pathetic.

2 goals against us directly from players handballing to above the target's head. Professional athletes and they cant do the basics. Skills are appalling.

This is a team with no confidence - either in themselves or their teammates. Survival mode kicks in, as does the "I've got to do something" mentality, and then it's all down hill.

  • 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?
