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.

    Must be time for a beer. 

    Or fifth beer, depending on your time zone.

    So hard AGAIN to discern which team is playing for a finals birth.

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
