No doubt we are struggling a little at the moment.  A few of our guys, namely Viney, Gawn and Petracca need to impose themselves on the contest a little more.

    I'm also liking what Sparrow has brought to the game so far.  I was one of many saying he looked a fair way off in the JLT series, but he's certainly stepped up so far here.

    Good goal to Fritta.  We needed that steadier.


    Fritzel takes a screamer. Eddie calls it like he’s commentating a funeral.

    If it was De Goey he would have messed his pants.

    almost twenty minutes without an MFC score... we need to get a few now

    and right on queue !!!


    Their run through the middle is troubling us at the moment, and they're getting first hands on the ball when it hits the deck.  We need to be working a little harder.


    Port are pretty much running us off our feet, been our trouble for 12 months speed kills 

    Wow there midfield is cutting us up.. our delivery inside 50 is just pathetic!


    Gee our pressure has dropped way off. Goodwin needs to set them straight again. Our key players need to start standing up. 

    I think the players thought it was just going to happen 

     

    That was coming.

    Big 8 minutes ahead, especially for our leaders.  Whose going to stand up and right the ship?

    Lucky they can’t kick straight we look gone at this stage

    • 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.
