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.

    And he has history so no benefit of the doubt from the umps.

    Ok, not a free to Spargo. 
     

    But not a f$$$ing free against either!

    [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 .

    We look so flat

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
