65 tackles to 102 with Oliver having 10 of those tackles. The players don’t care. 

Garlett wont put his body on the line. Fact.

 

I could understand anyone being tempted

    If this continues it will make me look back on Neeld's time with fondness.

     

    Who are our leaders on field? No one stood up. It was was just dumb football all round, no footy smarts. Hawthorn kept kicking it long the ground that whole 3rd quarter and we kept trying to pick it up. How hard is it to play wet weather footy?? Surely that would have to have been the message at half time.

    We played dumb and got outworked. Pretty pathetic.

    Culture and coaching are out two biggest issues followed by half a list of mediocre unprofessional footballers.

    What a bunch of pathetic blokes.


    Am shocked at this performance

     

    Below 100% in one game. Weaker than Carlton. They have an excuse. They are [censored].

    I had 50 on hawks at $2.20.

    $110 collect tonight..

     


    The Melbourne players have all gone home!

    What a deplorable effort!  13 seconds from one Hawthorn goal to the next!

    Has anyone told them they're supposed to play the WHOLE game!

    What happened? The first quarter was fantastic. What the hell happened?

    The Hawks were very busy applying pressure on us, whenever they could in the 1st Qtr.

     

    This IS the Key. 

    For a contested ball winning team, after winning the clearance, OUR quality disposal is the most important thing from that point.

    This is where Clarko knows US,,, and he got us;  Just as he has done to other teams... eg:  the Swans in that Grand Final against the Hawks.

     

    Clarko:-   apply relentless pressure until the opponent CRACKS UP_  make them gun-shy for the rest of the game, and they will feel it ALL game.

     

    Unfortunately WE start to panic,,, before our players do, and we start to "eat our own"_ vocally, with our venom.

    Our negativity becomes loud and vocal at US,,,,, instead of at our Opponents.

     

    The opposition team also Feels this negativity against our own__  and they inturn grow another LEG. we boost the opposition,,,handing them a game on a platter for the taking, IF they can.

     

    And the Hawks never need be asked, a 2nd time....   they take it and off.

    Yes it is obvious to all but Goodwin apparently 


    Wow. I’m glad I got dragged to a wiggles concert, I caught the last quarter. What a pathetic team we support sometimes.  We have beaten no one of worthy this year.  The tigers will do us by 120next week if we play like this.

    Another positive is I can plan a business trip in September without having to go in the bye week and miss my birthday.

    • 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.
