This is a coaching disgrace. You can’t do the exact same thing and expect a different result. 

Ground hog day since 2017

Howes is weak at the contests.

He is, but Freo’s smalls weapon is their run and pace more than contest. If we can’t even pick up their runners we are no chance to ever force contests.

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

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

Just kick for goal or the boundary line if there were no forwards. He was stupid kicking laterally and then turning it over. Absolutely nuts!


14-0 clearances. Have we ever seen a worse midfield performance under Goodwin?

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. 

It's a scandal. Monstered at VFL level. Some on these boards think 'Fullo' is the real deal. Laughable if it wasn't embarrassing. 

 

Langdon sticks out because he covers the ground like the Freo mids. 

Our spread is almost as bad as our clearance work.

This loss will come down to Goodwins stubborn REFUSAL to play a Ruckman!


Go Dees

The pessimists are out again. Have some belief.

At least when we are losing there is more reading on this forum. 

If we get our system going can you all keep posting as I only have the radio. 

Go Dees.

There's plenty of footy to play but we sure make it hard for ourselves.

And the Petty obsession continues 3 months on from the Rnd 5 debacle. 

Not Petty's fault either.  That part's all on SG


Shambolic.

If Goodwin persists with the lunacy of (mis)using Petty in the ruck this will end up as a 100-point demolition.

Sparrow and Bowey, among others, might as well have stayed in Melbourne for all they have brought to the game so far.

Goodwin looks lost.

Well done to Caleb Windsor for showing some initiative by switching the play which resulted in us going end to end in 20 seconds. This is why Fremantle aren’t a top 4 side, and a premiership threat. They play to percentages, and will always beat us as we are too predictable. We need to take more risks and force the game. Even if it means we could lose by 10 goals. 

Not fussed if Petty moves on.

Thanks for the memories.


Chin's decision making and disposal is atrocious so far

 

Windsor could’ve saved southgates job with soccer skills like that

  • 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?
