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

FML. 

Maybe we are trying to bamboozle our opponents with unorthodox set ups and structure?

We also love to handball more because we can't kick so well?

20 tackles to 8 .... that's interesting!!

    Is Neeld still an Assistant at the Bombres?

    We really have a way of punishing the guy by making him sit through this [censored] once again...

    Hogan to heppell at the centre bounces. Really?

    They also put Hogan on Ablett for a ball up or two against the Cats.  One of those resulted in a goal to Ablett as a result.  He was switched off imediately after that goal.  But how did that match up occur in the first place???

    Spargo's good. Hasn't been Melbourn'd yet.

    Spargo time on ground at 21 mins....give it time


    Salem just giving up the ball when tackled is exactly what we were doing last week.

    We always do that yet opposition teams somehow always get a handpass off when tackled.

    Goodwin's gameplan seems to be:

    Crap inside 50 crap inside 50 crap inside 50, opponent rebounds, easy goal, rinse repeat.

     

    The rebound was pathetic.

    They had 4 in a row rebounding, leading to a Bombers goal.

    How can this not have been addressed yet? It's been a problem for 16 months now!

    Tackle count is up....8 already this quarter.  Gawn pushing forward is much needed if we are to win this

    Last 2 goals out the back. Can't see any defensive structure. Outnumbered in our forward line then. No one on defense. Hopeless


    [censored] off max. 

     

     

    Gawn would be a good one to go to for us…if he could kick.

    • 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.
