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?


    I’m blaming Smith because SEN is blaming Smith, and it’s all I have to go on.

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
