One hand free. Ball up. No reward for our tackles

What a sad, embarrassing way to end the season. Barely fired a shot.

I'll probably cop flack for this but I think we should seriously entertain the idea of trading Fritsch.

 

Omfg, free against Melk for using his body and strength. Umpires been horse**** the salt in the wounds.

Any danger we can tackle? It amazes me how many times our players have both hand on them but they fend it off or worse, dispose cleanly of the ball.

Definitely after the Brownlow.

I'm just hoping that Woey can develop into a player that can reliably play a role. He is a liability at the moment and I cringe when I see him named in the team.

He is way too slow by foot and upstairs.  There's just no weapons there at all that would suggest he'll be able to take the next step.

He would need to gain a yard or two in pace and a massive improvement in agility and skills.  While anything's possible it seems very unlikely at this point.

Stop the game and call it a draw…. 

Or stay on and let it hit Maynard

Diabolical Laurie 

Shouldn't be in our list, don't understand why we keep expecting him to become a player.


Is there any chance Petty could win just one one v one contest?

Simon's Petty obsession has been a complete and utter fail this year bar about 2.5 matches.

Could've played Jeffo for two or three matches just see where he's at and give us a diff look inside 50.  Plus maybe a few goals to spur him on to work harder towards 2025.

Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder

Is that the same Rachele who’s been dumped for repeatedly not adhering to team first values ? Didn’t think we were needing that sort of contribution 

So still no reward for the tackle

Langdon likes to take the half half approach garding 2 players and then takes the closest player leaving a free player.

It's disgraceful they are not suspending the match. This tells you that Ch7 controls the AFL.

Does anyone else think about how we were so close to getting Max Holmes instead of Laurie everytime Laurie does something rubbish?

I've been as critical of Petty as anyone this year but he has clearly improved in the latter part of the season. I don't think it would do Jeffo any good playing in this side tonight.

 

It’s difficult to escape the conclusion there is a range of parties against our club

Why did we go off against WCE?

What is happening with the umpiring

why doesn’t the club call this out

  • 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?
