I'm ignoring this thread as I can't watch the game, I'm only going by stats.

Could someone who is sound of mind give me, and others in the same boat, a brief run down of the half.  It seems like we're having a dip but running into the same problems.

Effort is decent.

Disposal was 50% in first qtr, seemed worse in the second. 

No spread, long kicks down the line are all we are doing. No spread, no switching.

Hanballing at players feet all game. 

So not much different to be honest other than effort is better than hawks game.

 

Very depressing watching this live. Richmond look another level.

:goody:sup !!

    Same [censored] every single week and another game we conceded 4g in a row. Same bomb long, flawed game plan, easy goals out the back. Dumb coaching. That’s now 22 of last 27 games. Same horrid crap every game, not improving and we’ve gone backwards. Bottom 4 side. Lucky tigers have been just as bad or we’d be 10g down


    Playing man on man might be a good idea?

    We are dumb, just dumb. 

    punching it straight down the middle f me, defence 101 punch it to the boundary line, 3 flying in to kill contest do you think they do? nah let Riewolt take an easy mark [censored] terrible.

    Can always rely on you for an honest, balanced assessment, Doc.  Cheers.

    The centre clearances are a real issue as it looks as though Gawn is dominating in the ruck and we are not taking advantage of that at all.  Going simply by stats it also looks like Harmes, ANB, Brayshaw etc are giving us next to nothing at the moment which just isn't good enough.

    Hopefully something clicks and we turn the corner in the second half.

    Sorry Wise.   It would take on absolute miracle to turn this around.

    I saw enough.  I figured the same issues from last week have been rearing their ugly heads again.

    Has our defence been any better?

    Yes, but when we put all our eggs in the contest basket, that of course leaves free Tigers players to link up and walse thru. Its the exact same issue. If we dont win the ball (which we haven't and fumbled all game) its a free for all. Damn has to burst at some point.

    Ive switched off.

    It’s certainly finals pressure.  Our list needs some work.  Our bottom 6 are not as good as Tiges.

    Game not over.....

    Stretch, Harmes, Neal Bullen, 

    NEVER TO PLAY ANOTHER GAME

    You realise if we are to play finals those are the type who need to lift, they just need more time, they are still young and all 3 have shown at times they are capable 

    We  haven't been poor. In fact if we played like this against the Hawks at half time we'd be in front by a bit. It;s painful for me to say this but they're just really good. Only way we win is if they continue to miss goals from the goal square. This game feels like Queens Birthday 2010. They're better but we can compete. 

    Too much deadwood.

    I wont renew membership unill garlett takes a pay cut.

     


    Already got our goal for the quarter!

    Go Dees!!

    IMO a poor comment, leading goal kicker last year and lead us to one of our two victories against Brisbane. There are others that deserve more criticism than Jeff. Easy Target.

    Stupid umpiring


    BANG ...and it back to 8 points.

    • 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.
