    If you had told me at the start of the year that our midfield would become our worst performing area, I’d call you crazy. I’ve got more faith in our forwards than I do in our mids.

    Also, I fear for the crowd size next week. Port could out number us.

    Any injuries, put those players on ice and get the kids in. Load up for 2025.

    i doubt we will win another game this year. such a pitiful performance, we allow the opposition to run around all by themselves and at times we dont even chase them.

    35 shots to 14. Season on the Line

    Big changes inside the Club are needed 

    Top to Bottom, we need change

    Yep, get the off-season surgeries out of the way early.

    The easiest thing to turn around in footy is a midfield but we also need another KPD, Stevie May as great as he’s been is close to done

    50 point loss against a team coming off a 5 day break is damning. just not up for the fight tonight at all.

    Very disappointed. I expected better

    Thank God they only had a5 day break

     

    Pretty sure we were assured they would crumble in the 2nd half

     

    I actually thought the players had a go and never gave in. 

     

    This is all on the coaching staff that are clueless.

    Well, that was pretty sad and boring to watch.

    Actually thought we were becoming a dependably competitive team there for a while, but that's a distant memory now.

    1 x compromised premiership and zero finals wins in the next 3 seasons is a travesty for this group.  Very disappointing.

    Not our best capitulation, but another fine effort within the Badloss School of Under-developed Footballing.

    Absolutely smashed. Should have been 100 points.

    It’s kind of fitting and sad that the doggies did this to us tonight. We smashed them to win a GF to herald what we thought was a dynasty and they have smashed us not even 3 years later to close our door. Is it closed for this year? Or for good with this list? I don’t know. But all I know is they must have felt good ending our season.

    We were terrible.

    Cant believe I’m saying this, but can we do a turnaround like the dogs? They were lost last year, slid out of the 8 as we have and started poorly this year. It can be done, but it takes honesty and hard work. 

    I may hold my 20+ year membership next year, unless I see we’re actually going to perform a review on what has happened. I know we lost Gus and Trac but that does not mean effectively 100 point loss. We didn’t lose to an invincible either. 

    Lots of questions to be asked at year end.

    sad tonight, friends. That was woeful. 

    We will always have 2021 I guess ❤️💙

    Yep. 

    Defensively a very weak performance again - this is becoming a trend. Weak in the contest, weak in transition, weak 1v1 down back. 

    We're a shell of what we once were. And I don't think it's coming back.

    No cohesion, midfield non-existent, backline a mess.

    Bowey finally looking like his old self, one of the few shining lights.

    The dynasty should have come in the years we went out in straight sets, and we mostly have ourselves to thank for that. How bloody pathetic.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
