Every quarter of every game for as long along as I can remember. Let's show how limp brained footballers we can be and give up a scoring chance in the last minute. I guess that's what bottom 8 teams do and that's us.

    Fritsch better be taking set shots every single day in the off season.

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

    Because the coach & some peanuts on this site love him.


    Warning signs already some really dumb footy played there despite early dominance and should have 4 on the board, not 1.4!

    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.

    I may be recalling incorrectly, but he seemed to perform better alongside Jackson.

    Classic MFC. Dominate a qtr fail to convert chances give up last second goal

    Exactly. Dumb footballers.  Dumb coach 

    We are playing all over Essendon.

    We can't finish some really good passages of play.

    The last handball in the chain being unnecessary and error riddled, is absolutely killing us.

    Poor disposal again. Poor leadership again. Missed set shots again. Fritsch the main culprit again.

    Where can the improvement come from to take us from a mid-table side to a top 4 side?

    Goodwin trying to play a game plan that he hasn’t recruited, or trained for.

    We don’t have the skills for this (because the coach insisted on contested ball beasts) and we proved it all quarter.

    Cant wait for 22 more games of this next year.

    Absolutely pathetic to leave nobody at home, so if we get the ball at half back there's nothing to kick to.

    Can't stand it.

    And the constant bombing in.  Who was Petracca even kicking to?  How can this still be happening week after week? LOWER YOUR F*@KING EYES!   Show me an All Australian that kicks like that.

    That and Fritsch's predictable kicking for goal. Boring.

    I'd bet my house that if a tally was done of last-minute-of-quarter goals against over the last few years, we would be miles ahead of the rest of the competition.

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

    Sorry but even Shakespeare would struggle to get his head around this scenario.

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

    Or fifth beer, depending on your time zone.

    Terrible quarter in front of goal. 

     Own worst enemy. 

     Don’t deserve finals. 

    Our whole season summed up in 20 minutes.

    Poor kicking at goal.

    Poor decisions

     Yep and it sickens me. I'm gonna have to hit the Scotch hard so if i do spew I'll have a reason to.

    That would be an amazing stat.

    Smith on Danners does anyone see a problem

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
