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 .

    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

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
