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. 

 I'll just say it again FFS...... Again again and again.

    Why are you all blaming Smith? Hibberd gave tippinwuiti all the space that led to that goal.

    Essendon on the few occasions they’ve bothered, have transitioned the ball well. But our mids relax when the quarter is nearly over, drop their defensive set up and this [censored] happens. Every. Single. Time. 


    Are Melksham and Spargo playing?  We are 2 players short. (3 if we add Smith)

    You can hide players   but  how much hiding do we need to do with Smith.

    Our final quarter possibly for the season. Just win well melbourne, rub further salt into the essendon team and there fans. 

    No injuries either please. 

    Just keep going. 

     

    Poor quarter too defensive need to kick goals.

    Are Spargo and Milkshake even playing today?

    Delist Spargo, Smith, Neal-Bullen.  Dumb and lack intensity.  


    My god this is a boring game. Can’t hit targets, kick goals, don’t look in any words the centre when playing, always playing the boundary side and players casually jogging around.  
     

    This is pathetic. Most of the play is stop and start with no flow or system what so ever. 
     

    My son said he just wants the game to be over, it’s bloody boring and they keep turning it over. Says it all really.

    i dont understand why they do not know tippinwuti is going to run with the ball every change he gets, he keeps faking them out  and running around our players. thankfully he is not destroying us like he has in the past.

    Terrible quarter, the only reason we didn't lose it by a handful of goals is they are just so bad.

    How Melksham made it through the entire season without being dropped is just dumbfounding.

    Would be classic Melbourne if we lost from here, against a genuinely awful side playing bottom 2 football.

    Ugh another goal on the siren.

    Luckily we have a good lead. But we need to play like we did in that 2nd quarter. 

    Funny reading comments online from essendon fans that are saying how well mitch brown is playing and how essendon de listed him and they get stuck with daniher who has done nothing. 

     

    Given Daniher's combination of appalling set-shot kicking, general inconsistency and the dreaded osteitis pubis, I was staggered they delisted a tall forward with demonstrated 2019 goalkicking ability.

    Seeing tipungwuti create havoc for us shows the importance of chasing a Saad/Zac Williams type this off season. 

    Well this may well be our last quarter of 2020. Which Melbourne will turn up?

    Yeah milkshake is pointing and telling players where to go. He is like our very own traffic cop. Useless. 

     

    Just kick it to Hunt or Petracca. Only two forwards that can kick straight at the moment.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
