Garry, i get it, we can't score, we can't deliver the ball inside 50, but we don't need to hear it every 2 minutes.

    That was embarrassing.

    -39 disposals

    -4 clearances

    -33 uncontested possessions

    -10 in tackles

    I'm done with giving these guys a chop out. If you don't want to work hard on matchday then [censored] off

    I think you can see the look of dejection on the players faces too. It's dawning on them what has already dawned on us: a long time in the wilderness beckons, and a lot of pain lies in our future.

    Like a sandcastle destroyed by the waves, the dynasty that could have been has been washed away, only to leave…this.

    It’s depressing that it has come to this. How can we be so consistent at being a rabble of a club.


    Why must our forwards always look for the ball out the back. Lead up towards the ball carrier!

    Sounds a lot like Garry is on the 'Sack Goody' train now

    Deep down he's a frustrated supporter like we are & probably cannot fathom how bad we are going

    Nothing grinds my gears more than seeing the opposition win a ground ball off a stoppage in our defensive 50. Hobbs allowed to just waltz in the first time and miss, then minutes later he bobs up again with a goal.

    We are just getting killed all over the field when the ball hits the deck.

    Dylan Shiel 14 disposals

    Andrew McGrath 11 disposals

    Nic Martin 11 disposals

    Archie Roberts 9 disposals

    Will Setterfield 8 disposals

    Zach Merrett 8 disposals

    Ed Langdon 8 disposals.

    Top possession getters at quarter time. It's unwatchable.

    Who can blame him? We have gone backwards so quickly it's hard to see how we can win any games playing like this. I'm waiting for the next quarter to see if a miracle might happen.

    Massively down on the tackle count and no marks inside 50.

    If only we had a bloke like Brown and Fullerton in the VFL who could help.

    Welp. Stubborn Simon will just back in the A team.

    Genuine question. Has anyone seen us lead towards the ball carrier yet? Or just away from them?

    I was just about to ask a similar thing. Adelaide v Geelong and Pies v Sydney, had players constantly leading up. Are all our forwards pushing up so by the time we enter F50 they have to run back?

    Skills poor. But lack of effort, tackles & chasing is damning. Really reflects Goodwin’s inability to get the players up for the fight. Not to mention the horrible decision not to bring in a marking forward.


    Our stoppage set ups are so poor. Essendon always have a free player unaccounted for and our players seem complacent being second to the ball. Shame they can't put pressure on either when the bombers inevitably win possession.

    Still baffled about our lack of tall forwards when players continually bomb it deep to our small forwards.

    The double grabbing and interrupting our team-mates possession is still rife. A team thats lacking direction and confidence.

    For the feint of heart time to stop watching. this is a 70 plus point loss coming up folks.

    Essendon aren't that good 🤣

     

    Our players are so stationary whenever we have a mark or a free kick. We give ourselves very little opportunity to take uncontested marks and build pressure, we just bomb to a contest over and over. We were ok with that when contest was our superpower, but that’s clearly not the case anymore.

    As Meatloaf said, 2 out of 3 ain't bad

    Might need a few more than 3 to watch this garbage.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
