8 in a row to Hawks. Pathetic MFC. Goodwin couldn’t make a change if his life depended on it 

Why was max benched for the 2nd quarter?

    Dumb footballers trying to play dry weather footy.....Just don't get Hawks are playing it simple & long 

    Interesting to ask Goodwin why they played the conditions so poorly

    They have a raft of injuries, we should be destroying them.

    That secret session the boys had last week worked really well.

    That free to Hawthorn happened to three melbourne  players within the previous 2 minutes of play. FFS umpires!

    Dave Misson anyone? I'm about to load up here. Goodwin another liability. Deebarcle.

    And more than you think...not just Simon Badloss ;)

    Someone stop me from saying something about Salem that I'll regret.

    We are pretenders

    Searching for balance on field.

     

    Same as why Frawley is playing up deep forward.  More runners in the mid part of the ground.   Applying pressure to the ball holder.

    9 goals to zip. 

    Hawks also have 2 players down. 

    Outstanding effort melb. 

    Playing one quarter out of three is a quality effort. 

    Ffs melb u never seem to disappoint. 

     

    This is the most physically 'worried out of it' performance I have seen in a long time. And against a team with a ton players that don't like the contest. Pathetic and weak. Still the same club.

    The problem isn't Goodwin. He has this club competing physically more than anyone else has been able to over the last 10 years...it's just that they still don't like it tough...and when opposition turn on the heat we are waterr.

    why is anyone surprised. yet again, supporters with no ability to look at footy in an objective manner lulled in to a false sense of achievement over a couple of half arsed, less than convincing wins over two poor footy teams

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
