    Absolute trash football. We need to sort out the forwardline fast. 

     

    Got given a couple free tickets to this game from a family friend who’s an Essendon supporter. In the Middle of their reserved seating. They’re so feral ??

    Gee they flood back...3 against 1 everytime.....

    We can win this...just need that 3 goal run on

    I'd take that 10 times out of 10 if If were an Essendon fan. We threw everything at them for 1 goal 5. Bombers up and about.

    Kozzies delivery poor tonight

    Whole team delivery poor..add the coach too, we have no forward and it looks like it .

     

    what’s with the handballs going higher in the air than distance traveled 

    .

    wake the [censored] up melbourne 

    Glad the break came when it did then. We need to reset with an understanding of how they are trying to play us. 

    Got to work out our plan forward of the ball. Leading forwards and one deep is the go.

    Viney looks off the pace tonight.  Would have Harmes in the middle (running pretty hot of late) and Viney up forward when not benched.  Only minor time in the middle pls in his first game or two back.

    Please Melbourne don’t let this be the start of the end. We can’t keep losing to mediocre teams and expect to win premierships. 
    Big mistake not playing a tall tonight. Perfect conditions so far.

    Bomners with numbers back every time.

    Bb out I just dont get.

    Has the club got the sooks with him?

    We should be winning with our fwd entries but we aint.

    We are relying on Spargo to mark inside fifty.

    Sure we keep sides from high scoring but we cant score ourselves.

    We kick an abysmal score against the pies and we drop sw and replace him with jack v.

    The scoreboard doesn't reflect how dominant we were that quarter. We desperately need to start taking our chances and stop allowing Essendon to look capable of scoring when they get the ball in their forward line. This was a problem we had in 2019.

    If only we had a full forward to kick to.

    Thought our forward line was poor but then realized we don’t have one. 
     

    poor effort 70% time in our forward line and we did nothing with it. poor kicking, poor marking. they are getting their running game going with a free man on the overlap and we are not covering. Need to all lift their game.

    Holding not paid anymore?

    Not for us. HQ need the ladder compacted. Us winning does not result in that.

    • 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.
