What was that effort from O-Mac....ran under the lot.  And Stretch's disposal running out there ...pure panic

 

Just get good deliverers inside 50 and a proper forward coach to teach effective leading patterns and we'll be fine…well, fine enough to beat GCS.

    Wasteful , Wasteful, wasteful.

    Any half decent team would be ten goals up by now.

    I wish TMac would make a lead

     

    It just occurred to me that we are genuinely a bottom 4 team right now, it's just that we've beaten two other bottom 4 teams. I feel sick.

    We are a disgrace. How any team can justify those inside 50s is beyond me. 35 inside 50s for 3 goals. What a joke. 

    We haven’t done a single thing to improve that ALL year and the season is gone. Wake up Goodwin!

    Gold Coast's strategy is clear:  Play through whoever Oscar is playing on. #football101

    sad but true

    You should probably get your eyes tested..  You do realise to be a goal it has to clear the line?  ?

    it did get your eyes checked

     

     

    Jones hacks the last kick inside 50

    Brayshaw handballs to someone under extreme pressure

    Oscar just completely fresh-airs an uncontested spoil  up the other end

    CLASSIC DEES I LOVE IT ?


    What has happened to the game post 666 is an abomination.  It's made it worse not better.  Well done Gil & Co!  ?

    don't know why people are complaining about the gameplan. there isn't one!

    Apologies to his brother but Keilty has been horrible. Preuss should have been played. Worst forward line ever.

    We cannot hit a target ? inside fifty. It’s deplorable. Jones’ last one when he had McDonald typifies the season to date. It’s so farrrrkin hard to watch. And when it goes the other end they convert from set shots because they hit short passes. Throw Salem forward. Also, I don’t understand what Keiltys role is. He did himself no favours in the first 20 minutes. Dropping marks and missing goals 


    I never thought kielty was gonna be the saviour but jeez I'm sure Casey has better players we couldve drafted than him. Shows no intensity 

    Not sure if this has been mentioned.

    This is an average game of footy.

    Not helped by two teams that are pushing numbers back.

    And that both teams are pretty [censored].

    Put Keilty on the bench and leave him there, I don’t know how he was able to get a second game but he is honestly the single worst footballer to wear our jumper I have ever seen. 

    Lewis is pretty horrible defensively. 

    Our forwards keep running under the football 

    Melbourne have been bad, but posts like this are just pathetic. Hope you feel better attacking someone through the anonymity of the internet.

    Pretty rare that every commentator in the box agrees on something, but they all agreed it hadn't crossed the line. 

    As did the third umpire.

    As did everyone except for you, Stevie Wonder.


    36 inside 50's for three goals.  A goalless quarter against the Gold Coast Suns

     go Dees!  You really make the supporters proud!

    garlett worst on ground. but seriously, why the hell is petracca played forward. one of the worst kicks for goal in the last decade. terrible coaching. he missed 2-3 goals that I personally would kick most of the time.

    Petracca has the yips! Why are we continually playing him as a forward?!?

    Because he can't play anywhere else 

    Not sure if there’s an issue with game plan. It’s just our ball skills trying to hit a target going inside 50. They’re terrible.

    • 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?
