Good start harmes

Gee 7:50 is along time to wait when it's your team playing. Go Dees!!

Gawn for gods sake do not tap the ball down straight to there midfield players around the ground especially if you are in there 50.

just saw on the tv the dogs have won there last 7 games at marvel with an average winning marking of 56 points. ?

I have no idea what to expect. I hope we can contain there midfield and Josh Bruce who seems to play well against us. Obviously the bont and Libba are keys that we have to out the brakes on and stop. Sucks we can't be there but I'm guessing there would have been more dogs fans there so maybe that will help us. So relieved Salem is back and I hope weid can step up tonight.

I just hope the eagles thrash the bummers.

Couldn't they all get tested then get there results back today or early tomorrow? Like the dogs did

Oh crap. If we are going into lockdown I had least had comfort I could watch the footy. This is just typical, the season we start off great and it's enjoyable going to the footy again & this stuff rears its ugly head again

I really cannot see how crowds will be allowed in friday night. I mean apart from 2 people now having tested positive from 2 different games last weekend surely with how these cases are growing throwing people close together could end in disaster. Plus I don't really want to sterotype dogs supporters but a lot of them would live over Maribyrnong way and probably go to highpoint. I really don't see how fans can go.

Nup happy to see the pies lose especially by a point & what a low crowd. Do you know what's really annoying. Seeing Essendon kick big scores and dominating teams that are not going well. Something we can't do. Yeah we win but not until the final quarter. And when did we last kick a massive score. Also they have a wide spread of goal scorers In saying that I'd rather be where we are on the ladder than them

I wondered in the last moments when Melksham went off with that ankle if we couldn't have subbed on sparrow and had fresh legs forward.

Agree. I back Tommy every time. I thought it's not a great night when he misses those. Fritta still annoyed he went the dribble kick option & stuff it

I wish gawn disposed of the ball quicker & didn't get caught holding the ball leading to the winning goal. I wish the boys stuck to the structures in the last 5 minutes.

Dockers showing how you get the job done with being a few points up and smartly controlling the play

Our midfield has a massive task next week going up against Bont, McCrae, libba Dunkley, Smith & Treloar if he plays. Good luck

Gee the dogs are doing a number on the saints like they did to the roos on good friday. 36 scoring shots to 6. May is going to need to lift big time & I fear for petty. I do fear a little for next week. The Bont is just a freak

Dogs doing what a top team should do & thrashing a team well below them. Treloar off with an ankle injury apparently. Need Freo to beat Sydney

I would have said Pickett but maybe he gets a reprieve. I still think Nathan Jones can add something. Maybe give JJ a rest but he could learn something next week from the dogs midfield. It's hard to call but Ben brown hopefully plays well tomorrow because we didn't get him to the club to play for casey

Well all the media now will come out with typical Melbourne loss, got ahead of themselves & they aren't trustworthy. In a strange way I will be more annoyed if we win next week because it's like you can't beat Adelaide but you beat the top team. I just can't believe how bad some of our best players were today

Look if you said at the start of the year we would start 9-0 we would never have believed it. We are still in the top 2. Let's face it we haven't played great the last few weeks. This is a reality check & a typical Melbourne loss. Just so many players down today & out if form. Dumb things were done at dumb times. I hope goody shows them the last 7 minutes to highlight our errors. Top teams don't give up those leads.

We had more scoring shots.

Absolutely pathetic last 3 minutes

That's deliberate

Gawn just cost for us another goal. So slow.

Harmes stay on your feet
