Trippled down on the forward pressure.  Think that dam will burst. 

Brayshaw a worry imo, hopefully he works into it.

19 inside 50’s to 13 yet we’re trailing.. has been the story of the year

Can we get one for Composure ?

Composure = experience.

Positive energy. Tigers are better but we are in this. Umpires are fine. Stop bleating it’s embarrassing.

Happy that Stretch gets a go this week but yes he needs to show something on the outside.

Nibbler gets a go because we saw the stats, numerous pressure acts, distance covered, contests made, etc the stats that the coaches love.

Frost out because there isn’t a matchup

Weeds in, hasn’t done enough yet, I think

it should have been Pedo tall again forward. 

Jeffy in because he does perform if the side/game plan performs. He needs space and time against one opponent and will win every time. 

I called it STRETCH HARMES NEAL BULLEN NOT UP TO IT and have said so time and again when will this club ever learn

GARLETT a lazy footballer

Hogans kick from 50 hit the top of the post. Thats encouraging. Lever done well under pressure. Inside 50s are great but its never on a open break. Opponents always have numbers back

 

Get numbers goal side and at least one front & square of the contested marks and not so many up! 

The last goal to the Tiges they had 3 loose men goal side of the mark at FF!  Zero us!  They ran off at will and shared...too easy.

Great D efforts by Hibb, Omac & Lever so far.

Hunt still going up for marks when he shouldnt potentially contributed to a goal against.  Good running effort but sloppy disposal.  Most sloppy coming i50 but they are under a stack of pressure

They are killing us with their spread as they move out forward. They are virtually waltzing it into their 50 when they get their opportunities, whereas our entries look rushed and are giving our forwards no quality entries.

This has clearly been our main issue for the year, as we have recorded the most amount of inside 50's in the comp, yet cannot capitalise on them.

A little composure (a lot of composure) is needed. We are lucky nothing has really come from some of our sh!thouse turnovers.

We have coaches for near everything...

Can we get one for Composure ?

If we had composure we would be 3 goals up. Both teams lacking composure at this stage and it is just looking like aerial ping pong. 

Keep up the pressure for another 3 quarters and we can win this game of footy.  Easier said than done, but we can do it.

Impressed with Weideman in the first term.  Really positive start to the night.


We are the worst fist on ball team. Somehow we always hit it to disadvantage.

Defensive set ups need work. Wheres the player goal side of the pack

  • 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.
