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.

    This is footy guys somethings things just don't go your way.

    And when they don't we go to water bigtime.
    Just a complete rabble out there.

    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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
