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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
