McDonald should have been able to look up there to see hogan streaming toward him from the goalsquare. It's not hard Melbourne.

It also wasn't hard for him to hit ANB on the chest from 20 metres away either.  But yes, he should also have Hogan leading at him in that situation as well.

 

Hogan... [censored] me - Hogan is  Gen Z and some... wants to be all things. Mate, lead up from the square... you;ll be fine...

Its [censored] like when Reiwoldt (for Saints) would jag 7 marks on the wing... yer ineffectual up there fundamentally pal..

    What an absolute disgrace.

     

    What is with the rotation of Hogan and TMac. Just leave TMac deep forward and Hogan playing predominantly between the arcs.


    How good is it that they've blown the budget and forgot to pack the umpires mic's. ?

    ANB is the luckiest player ever and he better kick this goal.  He had a player running on the outside, ignored it and then got tackled.  Thankfully Razor is on hand to look after him.  Dumb play.... and he missed the goal as well.  Jesus.

    He is a complete fn dud. Fit but no skill. 

     


    remember 5 weeks ago, when we bitched about high scoring games on friday nights... *cough*

     

    This is quite possibly the worst game I have seen.....and I've seen a few!

    We should be.  Kicking for goal has let us down big time.  Everything else has been pretty good.

    Our small forwards need to be on the ground for the dropped marks inside 50. 

    We don't have small forwards. We have 22 midfielders scrambling around with no idea what their game role is.

    utterly pathetic. 

     

    if it was 7.6 at this stage - Freo would have folded and it would be a waltz with yer grandma... instead....

    • 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.
