Well this aged well ?

If Fritta leads any wider he'll be in the car park. Even if he gets it he'll have a less than 10% chance of kicking it.

How is 'bombing it' inside 50 still an acceptable option when under no pressure? Particularly when we have a second string forward line. I don't want to see this again and again every week, we have to be better than this. They are swallowing it up every time. Giants forward line looking open and dangerous in comparison. Worrying start.

Well, it was a clumsy, fumbly mess but fortunately we have May and Lever...and Freo could not have played any worse. Composure and foot skills horrendous as per usual, a hell of a lot of dropped chest marks and double grabbing. Weird stuff. The majority of teams would have beaten us today from what I witnessed, but let's take the win and work on those areas. Next week it steps up a notch. Next 3 weeks could define our season. 3-1 would be amazing.

I was actually excited turning up today, even if it was a pre-season game. Finally after 18 months, Live Football in the flesh! I was not excited when I left. I don't care about the outs, there was no soul in this team, nowhere near the required pressure and intensity - just the same predictable skill errors and the usual suspects killing chains of possession. I regret going today. The only thing I learned is how completely stuffed we are if Oliver ever gets injured... because we are deadset D-grade in the middle without him. I have a horrible feeling we're about to waste a third year in a row Post 2018 - and this group's potential is going to be p*$$ed up against a wall because this particular coach can't inspire or get the best from them.

Probably just cost a staffer at the club their job. Thanks Harley. You couldn't wait one more day?

Up there with the Goodwin 4 year signing and Tomlinson for 4 years @ $500K ?

Melksham this season averaging around 50 in Supercoach, less than 10 disposals and less than a goal a game. That's pretty much today, for 17 games. Shocker.

Essendon are SERIOUSLY bad and we made them look like superstars for a quarter. Poor coaching again had us trying to shut up shop for 20 minutes, with a negative mindset which is just ridiculous. Dogs deserve the finals far more than us, it would be a travesty if we got through.

Except the other teams also have skill and composure.

Fritsh should have had 6 today.

It's better for the club if we lose, imagine going to Perth vs West Coast anyway. We've been proven time and again to be mentally weak.

This is good, we shouldn't be ending the season making Goodwin look good. This is more realistic now.

Can we just end this season already I can't watch this rubbish.

Hollywood football, consistently trying to break tackles, undisciplined play. We deserve everything that comes at us.

More weird butt groping going on. Footy players are a different breed. ?

Well that was one of the most woeful quarters of football I've ever seen. Both teams just spinning their wheels and probably will be for the forseeable future.

EVERY SINGLE TIME WITH 10 SEC TO GO

100'% agree

Our inside 50's are seriously diabolical. We haven't learnt anything in 4 years.

fumble fumble dumb free poor option dumb free turnover terrible inside 50 attempt Get it together, the game is yours Melbourne. If we were playing anyone above us they'd cut us to ribbons.

Terrible option Weideman, the exact opposite of what we need going inside 50. Basic mistakes again and again.

Goddammit why does our worst finisher keep getting all the shots.

Wow... Essendon are..pretty bad

Old 1 in 3 Fritsch was never in doubt.?
