Omac was fantastic. He was literally the only player who did not panic once. Kudos to him. 

Lewis needs to retire and Bugg needs to sign a VFL contract.

Very generous. Started off well but again showed he is limited skill wise. Early in the game had an easy hit up for Hogan and bombed it to no one, just not a one touch player. Seemed to play a lot at half forward, his development is just going around in circles.

Bit harsh on Brayshaw's skill level compared to what else was on display today by MFC. He was far from the worst

Brayshaw : Showed good signs. Competed

Melksham : Missed the train

Harmes : Missed the train

MFC : Dry Weather "Footballers"

HFC : Showed what desire can do.

OMac : Doubters silenced now.

Hibberd : Confused in his role

Lever : Should Mark. Spare Defender : Lacking confidence


Next week: four changes minimum

It is what it is, but I had hoped for more class from a number 3 draft pick and still hope it will magically change every time he returns to the team.

Pretty much sums it all up

Jordan Lewis - Common Denominator (in past 3 Haw v. Melb games)

Not only are the recruiters stupid; but most of us supporters are as well.  Will never make one iota of difference with our push from 9-14 to 4-8.  None.  Never would.  Liability in speed....goes to ground.  How many bloody players did O'Meara beat home from the Sicily torp.  He gave 4 of us 10 metres start.  Can't hide Jordan back as the +1 for ever.

 

Clarkson and Adelaide have played with the Melbourne Football Club in past year or 2.  Combine that with the stupidity of letting Viney return after 2 weeks following PF surgery.....and the Camp fiasco....

 

This club lacks brains, heart and guts.

Lever was side by side in the middle of the ground, then not even in the camera shot by the end. As bad as Hunt was, we need him back with this press.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!


What were Jonesy stats for the last quarter?

For the first time in a very long time there is little to be gained from the 3 word analysis. The team was woeful

After watching that debacle today the last player I would be questioning is Brayshaw! Not the best for us maybe, made some errors yes but kept battling on and getting a lot right by the way,  while many of his more experienced team mates went missing in action. Can’t make mistakes when you aren’t in the contest, how often have we seen this over the last 12 years. We had quite a few older heads not in the action when needed. I suggest you watch the replay WTM.

Admittedly, my stream was in and out for the second half. I 100% agree there were many worse. It was more of me disagreeing with Joeboys assessment than actually thinking Brayshaw was one of our worst. There was a lot of competition for that. 

I just wouldn't call that an 'impressive' performance from Brayshaw. He must have had 7 or 8 touches in the first 10 minutes, then faded out of the game. 

It was a hard day to find a winner for us and tbh I don't think I could sit through a replay of that junk.

  • 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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
