    Why the [censored] does this game have to be on a Thursday night when I can’t drink myself into oblivion?!

    Call in sick tomorrow. Be a good citizen. Never has calling in sick been more heroic.

    We've looked soooo slow since Jones was brought back in.

    Gifting charity games was where it all went down. Jones is rubbish

    We’ve been as bad as you can get but only 3 goals down. That’s a positive. But I’ve got nothing else.

    Hang in there - it's only the 1st quarter gone. 3 quarters to go...

    Only Jackson looks likely up forward.. 

    Yep.

    Doesn't panic with the ball.

    Its too much to ask that our so called quality players actually try something different other then bombing it in the F50

    I agree. I have left Jones alone to date but geez he looks off his best by some way. 

     

    wtf was that rubbish,why is tracc laughing about [censored] these prima donnas


    13 inside 50s in the first qtr for no goals, 3 talls doesn’t work 

    That was disgusting, last week we kicked ourselves out of the game in front of goal, tonight we have barely been able to string two kicks together and our kicks inside 50 were pathetic.

    We had so many good chances with leads missed, miss-matches ignored, and basic skills non-existent. We can bring it back if we pull our finger but that was some of the worst we've seen.

    Jackson was hit laces out, got both hands to it and spilt it...

    Port Players get the ball, then try to maintain possession for Port. 
    Dees players get the ball, then seem more concerned to get "meters gained", just keep moving the ball toward our goal, like schoolboy football, causing so many turnovers and lousy delivery to our forwards. 

    MFC intensity meter reading at about 1!

    dont blame jones

    Brayshaw is playing on a wing on Karl Amon.

    Amon 12 disposals, Brayshaw 3....

    That BAD that the umpires are providing sympathy and tea. Copious frees and multiple fifty metre penalties have done little.

    Goody was sick of listening to us cry out for two tall forwards.

    His revenge is sticking three down there.

    Good move.

    Apparently Hodge is spending retirement in a pie factory.

    The reason we're only 3 goals behind is the short quarters

    This is the Richmond game all over again.

    Turnovers left, right and centre. Cannot compete with anyone, let alone the side on top of the ladder, if we keep turning it over.

    I would be the first person in Australia to call in sick for home schooling/work from home.

    • 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?
