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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
