Whilst he is soft he has talent though, but the reality is he's a third forward not a main guy, if you can improve the forward line he will be more dangerous. 

Agree but boy has he been useless the past few weeks. No effort to run fast to the contest, half-hearted tackles, pathetic!

Just call it off. There's only about 10 minutes left. This doesn't affect anything.

I'm sick of hearing Maynard being booed, kozzie being booed, then we don't have to hear the pies song.

    This season has really done a number on me.. 

     

    We would have to be the softest AFL side.. it’s actually comical watching us sometimes.. how the f$$& Goodwin can keep this sh$t game plan is anyones guess😡😡

    Why? He has been a good player for a long time. Maybe not as good as Jimma but give him a break he has kept at it. Stop having a go at these players who have performed consistently for a long time without injuries.

    Coz he wears the black and white…

     

    Seesh.😳


    Pathetic spineless team. No heart, very little passion and barely any teamwork. Just about the whole lot of them outside of Turner. 

    Extremely disappointed in Viney. 

    I've been saying since it was first flagged on this site that McVee is not a midfielder. It's very easy to understand why.

    Honestly some of our coaching department have no more of a clue than the fools on here that have been asking for it. If anyone should be getting trialled through the midfield it should be Woewoedin. 

    It honestly looked like a VFL vs an AFL side the entire night. One team had skill and understands how to kick to advantage, the other did not and goes out of its way to make scoring more difficult. 

    Terrible way to end a terrible year.

    Trade Salem, soft and overated the last couple of years.

    Come off the grass Mc Donald was extremely competitive. I have bagged Lever , but his organisation skills would have been very handy tonight.

    However I think this was treated as a practice matcxh to try out a new style of play. Unfortunately we were undermanned and unprepared. Collingwood play this running game so it was really difficult for our blokes to be trying something so different. Firstly in this game style you need to be moving more ,not letting using delaying tactics which lets the next level setup properly.

    You have got to have the right personnel to play a particular game style. Collingwood have got it with Daicos 1 & 2 etc.

    There was a game this year where Crisp was sub. Ie 23rd man. So he has not really had the consecutive games under the same rules as Jimmy.

    Well, unlike I suspect many of the people on this thread, I have been at the game. All our best midfielders were out. Lever and May were not playing. Free kicks were 3 to one in their favour. We made some terrible errors, but I think our players did their best and I'm not going to criticise them.

    I’d do it but I seriously doubt Port would.

    Port probably would just to [censored] over the crows.

    McDonald has been fine, I just think why not look to the future in the KEY DEFENCE part of the ground as well, so we don't get to the middle of next year and again be swinging a defender like Petty or Turner back into defence, because 1 or 2 of our 3 X 32/33 YEAR OLD KPD's are injured. Then we're on the backfoot again reshuffling our forward line and defence.

    Look to the future NOW

    Well, him and most of the rest of the black and white are showing how far we are away with the skills side of things. Nothing has improved with our disposals. The kids need a big off season and show some improvement next year. Kolt runs around like a chook with his head off and I see no skills, pace in the team at all. BIG off season required.

    Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder

    completely agree we should throw away our most prolific goal scorer over the past 5 years. Also our most skilled played along side Kozzi

    He is never going to be a hard man. He is our finisher. When we play well he looks great like the 6 he kicked in the GF

    Surely the lightning would find the highest point, in which case Max would be in grave danger.

    It wouldn’t be Mason, can’t stand tall sinking the knees in.

    Doesn't matter if the security people get hit by lightning apparently.  They're all standing out on the ground.

    I was there as well. No issue with endeavour but our skills are terrible.

    Imagine if GC and St Kilda both lose.

    We lose dismally tonight.

    They’ll suspend Kozzie for 4.

    We don’t go up in the draft order.

    We get a 7-12 fixture as opposed to 13-18.

    Happy days.

    • 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?
