Absolutely embarrassing being around these [censored] Port and Essendon supporters, i had to move otherwise there would have been no more football for me.

Pisssss poor performance.

All on our fortress they have dumped a load on us friggen, disgusting.

Lackadaisical performance, drug cheats hungrier in the contest and cleaner.

    He put Petty back in the third. He should have been back half way through the first.

    Geez we've been really selfish up front as well

    I thought Petty started in defence

     

    What a shocker.

    Too many learnings.

    We stank.

    Sorry but it's true.

    I can't see this team winning a premiership if I'm honest.

    Bbb had better have been injured but I don't think it would have mattered much.

    Our newcomer in Grundy was the only player to show some leadership in the first half.

    Yep we've played behind all game which is inexcusable but especially in the wet.

    Lol Essendon can't do anything wrong atm, best game they'll play all year.

    Best game they will play all year.

    Hard to find winner for us.

    McVee, Tracc, and Petty's 3rd qtr

    Chandler and Viney have worked hard

    Surely May is injured 

    This has really shown us up. We can either embrace it and change for the better, or just ignorantly paper over the cracks thinking it will all just sort itself out.

    Nope just a really really bad day. If he's out there he's good to go. Not copping any injury excuses

    This was more Melbourne losing than Essendon winning. We had no run and looked slow from the first bounce. Essendon is extremely mid. Bad loss. Onto next week.

    We’ve changed a lot over summer, maybe we just change back to how we played against Sydney?

     


     

    their pressure and structure is to focused for us... We havent looked like we have had the right mindset and effort all day.  To top it off it's one of those days where all the bounces and drops seem to fall their way.  Though when you put more effort it, that tends to happen.  I blame listening to the end of the podcast from last week this morning and how we had their measure... jinxed it :(

    May often struggles when he doesn’t have a big name opponent or a bad full forward to play on. He gets caught between trying to do his duties for the zone and manning up a mobile opponent. When the up field pressure drops off he gets in [censored] spots

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
