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.

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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
