The problems were there for all to see. Is it fatal? No. But it sure as hell isn't an aberration.

Champion team needs a champion effort.

Outcoached, outmarked, outgroundballed, outrun, outthought, outmuscled, outplayed.

Beaten badly today, doesn't matter which way you slice it.

What a honker

Well beaten today

At least they haven't stopped

We've been canned

Not only lost but lost players

We've been belted today in a very ruthless manner.

Not good enough

Shocking stuff there

Broken, beat and scarred

First to every ball

Mcvee is such a smart footballer

Scoring drought broken

Shocker

I don't want to hear anyone say this was lost at the selection table, Brown wouldn't have changed anything.

This is true but it's amazing how quickly that manifested.

Call the first half what you will, that quarter was next level bad. To think we were still in it at half time and could have corrected some mistakes to still win is mind boggling. In half an hour we have fallen so far back it's not funny while the Bombers have developed a nice blue print to beat us. Don't give me the rubbish about players out or if we gave more effort, this one will sting and need some serious work to move past.

4-1 Essendon, feel sick.

This is old Melbourne

This loss feels like 3

This quarter alone has been such a let down, I expected a fierce response and it didn't happen.
