What a rubbishy and boring game of footy. 
Must be time for a beer. 

 

Oliver's goal, again.

Sick to death of his hot potato handballs to complete disadvantage of team mates, rather than taking responsibility himself.

Nothing to see here though says @Dr.D

rubbish hand ball oliver

 

Two absolute shockers so far

How F’ing typical to crap in our own nest. Poor by Baker to not keep his feet. Why is Smith out there?


How many years will we keep wasting forward opportunities with [censored] kicking and ball use?

I what this season to be done. I’m over watching the same [censored] every week. 

Can they actually kick the ball instead of criss crossing the ground with hand balls. Essendon wait for the mistakes.

 

These guys are so [censored].

Glad this season will be over this weekend.

Seriously dumb

Good seats, ****house game. 
 

We look lost and jogging around the ground like a training drill. Good work all round so far. 
 

 


well they are certainly not playing like a team playing for a place in the finals, and quite frankly they have done nothing to deserve to be in the finals.

Terrible quarter. Keeping them in the game. Fritsch can't kick for [censored].

I'd be telling Fritch to lay off the next time he marks inside 50. His kicking for goal is costing us.

I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying. 

Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.


just terrible ! that last two minutes

bunch of selfcentered selfish selfimportant primadonnas

Bit early to write us off. We were the better team just poor execution


Honestly you could sit down and write the script for this. Talk about a tragedy in 4 acts.

Geez they can make an easy game look really hard

Bombers goals from turnovers 

oliver ? 

OVERHANDBALLING ????

Frittta ??and Spargo ?misses 
 

We are shizzzzzzzn and dumb 

get it right and we win !!! 

 

Every week we have heard from the commentators about Melbourne's "stars".

Most clubs would kill for a line of Gawn Viney Oliver Petracca, throw in Salem, AVB as well. 

We just play such one dimensional football. We aren't getting the most out of these guys.

We're playing alright. Just not finishing our work at the moment. Not panic stations yet

Essendon are [censored] rubbish and we are making them look bloody brilliant with our pathetic use of the football, our soft tackling (AVB aside) and a non existent game plan. 
Nothing is more predictable than Melbourne chocking. Nothing.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
