Skills must be a high priority next year. We don't know how to change direction, baulk, weave, evade, find a low 30mtre kick to advantage, sit at the front of the marking contest to crumb.....just a couple of suggestions.

    It honestly looked like a VFL vs an AFL side the entire night.

    Not surprised that we looked VFL level. Realistically we should only have 1 maybe 2 of those players getting a game at this stage. 

    Our list depth is a real worry.

    If they go back on just stand near daicos. The lightening won't strike him

    I hope a player brings out a gum tree branch over Daicis’s head. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

    This is a weirdly fitting end to a very odd and disappointing 12 months as a Melbourne member.

    100%. Yet when I said this at the start of the year I was shouted down.

    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.

    100% agree And I was there too*.
     

    (Had to leave at half time to visit ‘The Royal’ for a quick pot, but still home by end of the game)

    I wanted to stay for Nibbler but I’ve had a truly horrible day and it took a lot of effort just to get there today. 
    I lost my voice abusing Maynard. I got 20 Pies filth kicked out of the members area. I’m done.

    Or hand ball with advantage to our players

    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.

    Have not said anything about Tmac..

    You did a good job Jaded. 
     

    personally I think you could have aimed higher with 50 of the fkr’s. But I’ll give you a silver star for your work.

    Unlike others not disappointed losing Nibler, great clubman, played a role good luck to him.

    Yes, I hear you. I was desperate to stay for him too. Also had a horrible week myself and coming down with something. That's a wrap.

    I think most of us thought that McAdams and Fullarton would at the least be decent depth at the start of the year. Two decent players would make a big difference.

    Sad end to the season with so many things going wrong, was at the game a dead rubber, the skills errors, missed targets …

    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

    It’s not about him “never going to be a hard man” , it’s about him regularly being a serious defensive liability ie. lack lustre chase, feeble tackles. This also sets a horrible example to his teammates and surely can’t be good for team morale.

    After I got the first 20, the rest left voluntarily with a few choice words from me

    • 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?
