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!!

Umpires see what they want or are instructed to see. Less integrity than wrestling.

Terrible skill level.

No leadership.

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

I'm sure TMc is injured.  Fritsch has always been fringe imo.

Hawthorn are ordinary... we aren't even at the level.  So flat, no ability to maintain possession beyond aboit 2 to 3 links.  Too many getting sucked to the contest at stoppages....STILL!!!???  Are we seriously  that dumb we cant play to a structure?? Cover the inside of their outlets at least and force them down the line!

Skills?  Clarry perpetually bombing.

Jeffy / T-mac....Pffft!

Can't believe we've gone this far backwards in 7 games of footy.

    Jordan Lewis needs to never play again. Has hand balled to old team mates

    kicked to wrong team and will not even pretend to chase. Just watches and points.

     

    FGS please put him out to pasture

    We need to start manning up on these hawks. Far to easy with them being able to get the ball down the ground. 

    Just saw bartlett and perty killing themselves laughing about something.  Glad they are enjoying themselves

    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.

    I've never seen a team run and work so hard yet achieve so little. It is astonishing. 

    I’m not watching - just listening but they (commentators) said we are playing a zone? Explains a lot of so

    Well, cracked record here: confidence (lack thereof)

    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.

    Oh come on, they're [censored] good at holding weights underwater

    Embarrassingly poor

    No skills

    Too many commit to contests and 

    Selfish

     

    Sloppy, slow and stupid...

    3 quarters to go. Sigh.


    50 to 80 UCP. They have learnt nothing in almost 10 weeks of football.

    At least Garlett learnt from his mistake 

     

    Our 18th place decision making really compliments our 18th place skills. 

    I haven't missed a Dees game in Melbourne for about 10 years, and I would normally feel deep shame for not going today.

    But today I purely see it as an investment in my mental health. ?

    We had 6 players alone in the F50 and still almost [censored] up that goal.

    Go big Declan, first mark leads to a goal

    Who did Lewis believe he was kicking it to then?   Run it out and use the new rules to pur advantage and gain another 10 meters FFS!

    Old man forgot the new rule, perhaps he's forgotten which team he plays for as well.

    So let’s see if this club has any ATTITUDE at all. 

    Goodwin your job is on the line, your players do not work hard enough every week. You can give me all the fancy [censored] answers about “processes in place” but that is all new age BS

    It all comes down to Attitude. 

    There is little pride in wearing the MFC Jumper, it has been shat on for too long, so now it smells bad. 

     

    Lift your game Goodwin, Coach the dam team to win. 

    You're sounding more and more like DV8

    OMG ...Jeffy

    • 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?
