When was the last time Melbourne:

- Conceded this many marks in defensive 50

- Conceded this many scores from centre clearance.

Chandler? You got to be kidding, he may have the desire but his executions ... 🤦🏻

Easily our best on ground.

I mean, seriously, he leads us for marks inside 50, goals, score involvement and metres gained, is behind only tall defenders for 1%ers, going at 75% disposal efficiency.

Has been our only clear winner on the ground.

    The fence sitters to sign up as members just fell off the other side and off the cliff 🧨

    Memberships numbers will drop even further with this [censored]

     

    I want to see a lot of players dropped after today.

    But what I really want is every single person at the club responsible for not fixing our fwd line issues that have been so glaringly obvious for just too long.

    Surely that's fair.

    I think those of us who pay their membership and go each week deserve a lot better than this. Much,much ,much, better.

    It's hard to understand that we won a flag less than only FOUR years ago.

    And how far we have fallen since we almost beat the 23 premiers and we're likely to win a flag.

    I guess there are a couple of superstar midfielders that let us down and the club has done the rest.

    It's a shame really. I know it's early days but I think this will be a bad marker like that Freo game when things went belly up.

    I know it's not Goodys fault but I think it's alarm bells now and time to panic.... Time for a sweep for me. 

    Cheers guys.

    Going to be great seeing the happy clappers gloss over this performance

    Disgusting and disgraceful are the two most apt words

     

    It can't be overstated how pathetic our football skills are

     

    Thanks for killing the team Simon

    Some of these comments are absolutely absurd.

    Xerri is best ruck in the comp and still on the rise. Max had one bad game against him. He doesn’t need to retire after one poor game. 
     

    Langdon was a bright spot last year and he’s being asked to shift roles this year. He’s had a bad game. Doesn’t mean his career is over. 
     

    Get a grip people.

    What’s happened to the Trent Rivers who was supposed to be our breakout midfielder this year? 
     

    We can’t even attract any quality free agents because they know we’re a basket case due to the selfish actions of some our supposed leaders.

    I cannot wait to see what the defenders say about this performance; wet last week, I didn't have enough sleep, or their loading, spin it all you like. It’s woeful, one-paced midfield being showing up again.

    Agree it's been an issue for far too long. But the absolutely lunacy and idiocy of the kicking i50 is just as bad an issue, if not worse. From seasoned, best and fairest winning midfielders. One in particular today.

    Imagine the crowd next week against the Gold Coast. Glad I've got other plans

    All I have to say is [censored] ‘em… they are so disinterested and making zero effort. Absolutely hopeless!!!! And that’s coming from an eternal optimist.

    Yep. The lack of effort is very evident. I’m honestly a bit shocked. 
     

    Dunno what’s happening within the group/club, but second game of the season and playing like this is a massive concern.

    Was there a wedding or 21st last night. Maybe fat boy slim gig. Either way our prep was terrible to put on this display.

    No need to be alarmed, we’re 3.3% above the bombers on the ladder.

    • 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?
