Spargo ducked into it, so not a free.

Why didn't a single forward try and spoil that through for a behind? So lazy.

    Yep on replay it was his own stupidity. 
    We are disgraceful. Dumb. Fumbly. Lazy. Arrogant. 
    Deserve to lose.

    [censored] first half Dees. Lift and get the job done. We’re losing to a loser team with no forward line! 

    Brayshaw our only player who can hold his head high after the first half.

    Incorrect.  He didnt duck he stopped, bringing the head forward, and copped a hip to the head thats concussed him and probably taken him out for the game. Pathetic umpiring.

    Cocky not to play Brown. Pure and simple. We went in expecting a win.

    Kozzie, Rivers, Petty, Sparrow - poor.

    Kicking & Handballing choice and skills - poor.

    Defensive aerial play - poor.

    Groundball work around marking contests - getting slaughtered.

    We know Tomlinson can have his bad days, but Petty has been in awful form this year too. Essendon forwards are having a field day.

    I hope Tmac is sent back the twos for much more than a week. Didn't touch it that quarter.  No tackles. No marks. No intensity.

    We so miss Max's marking.

    Contest. Defence. Both have been absolute fails today.

    Bombers have been hungrier.

    This could be all over had they kicked straight .

    When Steven and co are fumbly and out of position, its usually not a great sign. I can't remember the last time i havent seen us not take an intercept mark or even more simply, get utterly dominated in contested marking in our own d 50 in a while. 

    If we all didn't know it already, Rick is clearly crucial to having an organised back 6.

    What is going on with the backline? They are all over the place.

    When a kick down the line happens we need to have at least someone at the back of the contest. Essendon are just getting that easy takeaway and sending it forward.

    Essendon is the most mid team in the league. They're not even playing that well. Which makes this all the more frustrating to watch.

    I’ll be the first to stay I could see this coming… but to be honest I still have that feeling before every game. The benefits of being a Melbourne supporter.

    Petraca and Oliver having a lazy day.

    I don't want to see Tomlinson again, and Petty looks like he forgot his defence craft with all the forward play.

    Chandler just give the [censored] ball to ANB, what a disgraceful selfish decision.

    Where's TMac and Melksham?

     

     

    Cue press conference “they are a good side Essendon” instead of “we didn’t show up and and couldn’t handle the heat”.

    The attacking team can’t spoil a ball for a behind after the siren

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
