I can’t remember the last time I felt so despondent after a loss 😓


Statistically diabolical performance. 

Probably a season killing game. 
 

Just win next week, I don’t really care about the season beyond that.

The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

I thought we were pretty good. A couple of unlucky momentum sapping umpiring calls when we had them on the ropes early were the difference for mine.

Demoralising. Utterly demoralising.

2 weeks ago I guess?

Credit in advance to posters who vote today. Not one winner on the field whatsoever.

Reality check.

Goodwin has to come under extreme pressure now. This has been building since the Brisbane game.

Tim Lamb needs to also come under serious scrutiny, he's butchered the list since the grand final.

We gave up. Petracca reflects the player’s feelings…he was so frustrated by a failing game plan.  Waving his arms around every time it came unstuck. We absolutely stunk it up and another sold game destroys our season 

I was hoping the game against WC was an aberration. It was not. Last weeks win was against a disinterested SK which papered over cracks. We haven’t been anywhere this bad since the early Roos days.

Plenty of learnings from that game. Get Billings in for Hunter and all short be sweet for next week because 2021. 

 

 

Should just post up the post match from the wc game it would read basically the same

Laughter is the best medicine 

Missed the game as was at my daughter’s dance concert. Looks like a missed a ripper. 
Season was over in Perth two weeks ago. Major changes needed starting with Goodwin. 

We've managed to paper over the cracks for quite a while, but you can only get away with that for so long. List has some serious holes and hard to say where solutions are going to come from, at least in the short term.  Almost time to start playing the kids, couldn't be much worse.

Simons presser should start with

" Wow didn't see that comin"🤮

  • 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.

    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?
