Fritch runs at a footy well. Need a lot more of that.

This stinks. It smells like they aren't playing as a team. I wonder why

Beggars belief.  Put a tall target in the 50 Goody

They saw what happened to Pedders after one poor game Frankie!  Every man for himself! ?

 

Why the [censored] are we playing a midget forward line? We have Weids, Hogan and TMac in the team. Why is TMac and Hogan playing mid??? 

FML.

FMD is anyone running with Zaharakis!?

Jones!!!!


This coaching is really wasting talent

Our zone is working realy well.  Players are covering well and in good positions when defending. Both their goals have cone from outt of position after bad skill error turnovers. 

 

But we are struggling with cohesion in attack. Too many handballs, not leading to space, not honouring leads, etc

Both very average so far.

Essendon are at least kicking into the forward fifty using their common sense.

This team is bizarre.

You can't tell if they're playing bad or it's just bad coaching.

 

I've got no clue how Goodwin thinks we'll win a thing if this is how we play.


Very funny, who wired up Mark Neeld's phone to the Melbourne bench?

This is the same stale, uninspired, around the boundary line footy we saw under Neeld.

This game is a nuclear tyre fire. Can't hit a target or link up more than 2 possessions. Hope it changes, doubt it though.

What a [censored] joke. The dees should have Benny hill music as their song.

We are a good team when we constantly switch the play, but they seem so down on confidence to do it


That 1st quarter was just disgraceful. Into the forward line is a joke.

 

Also stop using Jones as a tagger. It’s a waste. We need his good kicking into the forward line, not him chasing tail.

Yep, one of the very few who actually hit up a target going forward.

  • 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.
