Not a Oscar fan, but that was a great kick and poor defending by us. Or plugins the gap, it was the only place to lead.

yep

no one filled the gap which was appalling defensive footy, but the legrope was way too long

saints dominated last 5-10 minutes

 

We are so bad

Oscar was 5 metres to the side and 2 metres behind his opponent.

    Too many dumb clangers (Jones the main culprit) and too many lack the ability to go with their man once we lose possession.

    Too many at the coal face also as usual.  Smashed on the outlier by the Saints maintaining structure on the outside and not sending as many to the contest.

    I can only deduce this is a coaching issue as pretty much all other teams get this part of the game.

    [censored] woeful. Get [censored] with this [censored] Goodwin. Honestly this is a disgrace and we should be ashamed of this display. 

    That wasnt a mark

     

    Take me back to the first two minutes of the game!

    Umps giving St Kilda an armchair ride. That last one was not a mark.

    Our defensive setup is deplorable. Everyone running around pointing like they know what they’re covering, while the opposition just chips it around for 2 minutes until they get a shot 20 out. 

     

    Neal Bullen does absolutely everything wrong. I’ve never seen a player with a more negative effect.

    Hunt is the slowest “speedster” in the game. And he does not chase at any sort of speed, just meanders around the ground.


    The Saints smashed us that quarter. People attacking our defensive setup but if not for your backline we'd be 5-6 goals down.

    Are we the first team to lead at half time without their midfield getting a touch?

    We are a joke. So easy to score against. Ratten is running rings around Goodwin by nullifying our midfield. Skills woeful. Too many third rate players.

    Defensive setup across the ground

    Phew, lucky the Saints aren't a better side. If so, we'd be 30 points down at half time.

    It is purely the disposal. We get it and turn it over.

    We are the worst skilled side in the AFL by a mile.

    • 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?
