Sparrow has gone backwards.

We are NOT premier favourites.

Perhaps the players think they are.

    And we are supposed to be premiership favourites. Puh-lease

    Look it's a bad performance but people need to get a grip.

    Collingwood lost to West Coast's seconds last year.

    Geelong were 3-2 after 5 rounds and 4-3 after 7 last year.

    Richmond similar in 2019.

    Look if this was another team I wouldn't be as mad. But it's Essendon. It's horrible they'll be 4-1 sitting above us on the ladder

    Call the first half what you will, that quarter was next level bad. To think we were still in it at half time and could have corrected some mistakes to still win is mind boggling. 

    In half an hour we have fallen so far back it's not funny while the Bombers have developed a nice blue print to beat us. Don't give me the rubbish about players out or if we gave more effort, this one will sting and need some serious work to move past.

    This quarter alone has been such a let down, I expected a fierce response and it didn't happen.

    And that’s the most disappointing part. 
    Only 17 points down at 1/2 time and that was their response. 
    Arrogant, pathetic and embarrassing.

    God we need Max back asap

    Max wouldn't make much of a difference with this type of disorganised trash. 

    Up the wings, bomb it long. Not hungry enough.

    Dead set old school Dees

    This should’ve been a percentage building win against a loser club. Instead we’ve [censored] the bed and no one is putting their hand up to try and stem the tide. This has been a game lost by poor leadership and laziness. Our worst loss since 2019-2020. 

    That's probably the mentality they went in with

    Sparrow has been poor along with many others. Only Viney and Trac contributing in the midfies

    ld.

    I don't understand the hype around Sparrow, not really a good contributor most days.

    We lack hunger and desire. 2021 we were manic. We are a shadow of that group

    It's a concern. 

    Bombers are playing a faultless game really.  Collectively we are terrible.  None of the names have fired a shot. Good quarter by Petty.

    This is true but it's amazing how quickly that manifested.

    Brad Scott has given goody an absolute bath, has showed everyone else very simply how to beat us.

    No Gawn and no Lever and we have 0 leadership.

    Embarrassing from Viney, May, Trac, Tmac and Oliver. Doing nothing.

    It’s a very lifeless performance across the board. I’m actually shocked at a side that is this mature has looked so disengaged.

    Things could have been worse. This could have been at the G. Take the loss and move on.

    Clearly we are a bit off, given the WA travel and shorter break than Essendon, gives them an edge. Throw in the injuries to Lever has thrown us off balance.

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
