This has been about as bad as it gets, but the Eagles are about as bad as an opponent that we could face.

Defensive structure hasn’t been dreadful. Forward entries I have to believe must improve 

 

Wow. Spargo. Go away. 

 

Spargo is a ?

    If you can’t use the ball in today’s footy you get belted. We have 15 years of this problem. 
    Disposal skill is nearly the most important element of the game. Look at Hibberd turned over every single possession. 
    We are the worst disposal side in the AFL on the games this week.

    And I think that little number 9 has turned every ball over also. Sick of our lack of skills


    Lever is a terrible kick. Just a terrible, terrible foot-passer of the game.

    3 more basic turnovers. 
    Sorry this is trash.

    I watched both preseason games closely and our skills looked really good.

    Maybe it’s just the pressure of playing front if the parochial west coast crowd.

    Oh wait.......

    If I hear anyone mention Spargo and smart in the same sentence again I will throttle them.

    I don’t know what’s worse, Spargo’s kicking or Neeld coaching.....

    Maybe Langdon's kicking. Certainly poor today


    Hibberd, oh Hibbo!

    He'd be better off choosing handball as his first option instead of his default move of bomb it long. Can he be coached out of it or just left off the side altogether? He does get possessions it's his disposal that stinks.

    My fav backline player for many years has hit the end of the road too - farewell Nev, thanks for the memories. There were plenty of good ones.

    • 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?
