This pathetic capitulation is now effecting our percentage and could cost us too 4. WAKE THE [censored] UP YOU WEAK DOGS

 

Embarrassing, insipid & lazy football when the game is there to be won, we roll over & die. No desperation, no desire, no fight.. We’re such an average football club who are content with a good showing every now & again. I don’t think we have the determination or grit to win another flag.

    We lost this game when we got off the bus. Goodwin selecting Petty over Tomlinson is a joke.

    We lost this game because we have kicked six goals from 49 inside 50s.

    Spare me mate! Tomlinson is a C grader at best 

    Agree they’re making out that this is the reason we lost the game, maybe it’s because our disposal is 2nd rate & we have some very dumb footballers

    Now the problem is our percentage!

    Our forwards have to be some of the softest footballers, I haven't seen a forward group get done this badly in 1 on 1 contests. 

    They all look immune to having a crack, genuinely pathetic effort from the lot of them.

    Out coached, outplayed, outworked. Imagine thinking that Smith, Van Rooyen and Gawn is a finals standard forward line, or that Spargo is a worthy sub option, or that our goal kicking is not a massive issue. 

    Smith had a good first half. JVR is close to useless as main key forward. 

    How far off is BBB? His presence is sorely missed

    Credit to cats defence tonight.

    Shame on our entries too.

    They shut down Max and kept him to zero marks.

    You know when that happens we are going to struggle. 

    Sadly we didn't want this with many Senior players too doing sfa in the last.

    Was there for tge taking and we didn't.

    Could have cemented top 4.

    Petty was an absolute shocing call.

    Chandler out.

    I can't believe people are still asking this question around the bye.....

    So it that the excuse next week of a 9 day break again if we loose 

    How many times tonight, has our forward entry been a long bomb to Kozzie v Stewart?

    Same thing happened last year. Got within a few points and then they blew us away with a flurry of goals.

    4 goals in 6 minutes? Game on!!! 😆

     

    Bit late to put Petty forward, Goody. Should've happened at half time, especially given Cameron was off

    • 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?
