Fullarton is a tax scam I swear. 

Reality is this year was [censored] as soon as we traded Grundy and brought in a guy who averages 4 hit outs a game. 

 

Can we just stop letting Freo look like a premiership team every single time we play them?

How is this putrid stand for nothing irrelevant club  constantly having the wood over us?

They wear purple and their mascot is a [censored] anchor. wtf!

Dumb footy Viney! Just kick it forward!

To two Freo players? No-one was in our f50

Where's the run from his team mates. He had to go backwards 

 

Now Brisbane has come up and won. 🫢

We look absolutely cooked. Jogging on the spot and no desire

Yep Freo aren't Essendon.

Dodged a bullet last week but Freo much better in ruck department.

Goody made a boo boo.

 

Now Brisbane has come up and won. 🫢


Mids getting embarrassed 0 clearences in a quarter is downright dreadful.

Not good but we are in it

What game are you watching? We are getting [censored] in every aspect of the game. 
we will do well to keep the final margin below 10 goals here 

0.2 in a qtr is not good enough. 

The truth is freo would be buoyed by the way they trashed us not even 2 months ago, so we’ll need a fairly dramatic turn in skills and mindset to make this a game.

Pickett slow to dispose 💩

Fritsch poor kick into F50💩

Fritsch miss tackle 💩

Tmcd too slow 💩

Chandler miss from 25 metres 💩

sparrow and Salem are passengers … one disposal each !!! 💩

McVee 👏 may 👏 Langdon 👏riv 👏

Agree - was thinking it’s like we have concrete in our boots.

Well we have a lot of scope for improvement…

Ir stick a skewer through their eardrums

We look like vfl kids against the best team in the land. wtf is going on? we look nervous and scared

they should be 8 goals up

will we show anything? make a physical statement?

not going off our history 

You can tell the players didn’t believe they could win with no ruck. There is a notable lack of effort or desire. 
 

The word uncompetitive comes to mind again. The midfielders are lacking intensity and Freo are just waltzing out of stoppage. 

 

I don’t understand what anyone thinks Fullarton would have done. Have you seen him play?

The issue is coaching. We know what they do. We saw it first hand 6 weeks ago. We had come in with a different plan.

Ghost of a chance with multiple Margetts clones ‘officiating’.

  • 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?
