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.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
