Harmes can leave for anybody.   That kick that he tried to intercept that was meant for van rooyen cost us the game

TBH, it wouldn’t have been a 15m kick or anything like

On another note, good to see Jackson trying again. Hadn’t seen that for a while. 

 

We have turned into the most selfish bunch of individuals around.
 

No connection between our lines, bugger all communication, linking of plays is non-existent, bomb it to a pack of forwards with no crumbers around because they’re all too high up the ground, and practically no blocking checking defensive work. Nobody is even taking the first option anymore, it’s dump kicks in and out of the 50 almost every time. 
 

Everybody is playing for theirselves, with very very few exclusions.  
 

Yes, we are getting some complete rubbish handed at us by the umpires - but stop ranting and sooking at them, Dees - focus on winning the next bloody contest!  If you kick a goal - stop running over to the boundary line and fist pumping at the supporters and just expecting our fellow Dees to run over and celebrate with you - high five each other and the bloke who got the ball to you in the first place! 

FMD what happened to our team football

Surely Goodwin has to play Brown next week. The forward line is pathetic.

Absolutely, tmac is done and jvr not ready too carry a forward line. We need forwards who lead up to the ball carrier not away from them


I feel stunned. To look at our team on paper we look so good. Somethings wrong and i think it has to be on the coaches heads. 

 

Disappointing effort we really need to fix our stoppages somehow…Goody so obsessed with the turnover game we don’t play any other way

First thing I did after the siren was to go to the Casey thread.  Sadly, no joy there either!  

watched most of the Casey game

Flashes from the usual suspects but no one starred.

The honeymoon period of the 2021 flag is finally coming to an end

It came to an abrupt end in the middle of 2022.

I’d suggest our ceiling is 5th/6th, a home MCG final, and a semi final exit.

Collingwood would’ve found a way to win the last two weeks if in our position.

After today I have a new respect for a large number of our supporters who know more than us on Demonland. They didn't turn up because they knew what was coming. The fade to  mediocrity is under way.

it was pretty lonely here. Agree

It's okay, we'll be fighting fit in September. 

Not sure if we'll be in the finals, though.

Why would he change anything now if he didn't last week?


Absolutely [censored] performance. Our window is looking closed. Thank god for 2021. This club is a long way off from ever competing for a flag again. 

Weak as water, players, coaching staff & supporters that don’t show up

Imagine letting that mob beat us again at the G

Disgraceful

Top top it off the Freo chant at the end of the game showed up our clap clap go Dees, hooray supporters 

 

Q 1 the forwards actually spread and it worked. But thereafter back to the old all up together.  
How difficult is it really for a professional team and coaching staff to try to get that right?

Grateful for Goody coaching us to the 2021 flag, but he’s got to go.

We’ve become way too easy to coach against, and have no plan B. Gotta clean out the assistants too.

What about the players taking some responsibility.

Scrap Narrm before it ruins our season .  Is there two more weeks of  this useless distraction leading up to Pies boilover?

And scrap that ridiculous thread about Freo and draft picks. Never liked it. Look how thats come back to bite us on the bum.

So last week the rainbow chasers thought we were good because we only lost by 4 to a good side. What have you got to say this week?

They’ll say we lost because Oliver didn’t play, after they said we are not a one man team.

And when we do turn it over we butcher our golden chances for scoring.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
