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.

    Massage Sacking must take place

    Saw it in Jones before the game.

    Read the room.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
