17 points down and I'll take it. Probably should be 30 down. Don't blame the umps as, for the most part, we're second to the contest.

    Cocky not to play Brown. Pure and simple. We went in expecting a win.

    And if we play him people have a go for playing underdone players and not resting them. Can't win.

    Ok, not a free to Spargo. 
     

    But not a f$$$ing free against either! 
     

     

    Again… should have been a free against. He had a mark (prior opp) played on, ducked and didn’t dispose of it. HTB every day.

    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. 
     

    Not after you belt Sydney who is a quality side unlike Essendon.

    So much for our supposed depth 🤮

    Useless all over the ground. Goodwin also struggles to coach against Brad Scott for some reason.

     

    Petty in a lot of trouble, looks like ribs. Bowser seeing stars and prob concussed

    May hardly sighted, Stringer keeping him away from Draper and Philips inside their 50

    Goodwin needs to rethink and reset. Time to move a couple of chess pieces around. Could've been a lot further behind than 17

    Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide. 

    Hope you are right     but we are so off today

    Might have changed your mind ..windy ..a bit of rain & no BB 🤔

    Nope wind of little consequence inside the ground, no rain, BB out had nothing to do with the weather.

    He isn’t underdone. He’s trained this morning. We didn’t play him because we expected rain.

    Essendon's gameplan is working perfectly, the two tall combo is working a treat. Great job Scott, he's done his homework.

    Arrogance. From Goodwin and Grundy to 15 others. Not working hard enough. Not going in.

    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.

    I think TMac needs to go back, maybe Petty forward or just play a small forward line. Whatever the midfield will have to get right on top if we are to win this.

    Right call not to play another tall, we’re already getting chopped up by Essendon runners, but it should’ve been Brown in, if healthy, and T Mc out.

    We’ve been seduced by Tommy’s flat track goals against the eagles reserves

    Sorry but van Rooyen is dreadful today 

    Yep ... young fellas gonna have ups & downs.

    Also though our delivery inside has been bog ordinary.

    Add to that no Macca, no Kozzy and Tracc' rushed donkey kick at goal.

    Fritta & Melk's kick around the cormer when it appeared they had options to handball to for a better shot 👎🏼

    Grundy's work with the ball 50/50 and doesnt push back hard enough to cover their talls pushing forward

    Looking pretty ordinary at this point.

    One move they need to make is Kozzy into the middle.  I would also sub Spargo off for JJ from here on

    I struggle to know how we'll get back into this unless Oliver turns it on in the second half. 

    We have a tall problem. 

    Langdon our best.

    TMac to the back flank to support the aerial Contest.

    Grundy needs to lift as well, has looked second rate defensively against two ruckmen who have kicked half of their goals.

    A few selfish things by our fowards today. 

    The positive is we have a half to sort this out. The bad news is essendons confidence is up 

    Our good players need to lift. Oliver, trac, hunter, McDonald & Viney.

    I see max there. come on max fire your team up

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
