Not surprised by the article. It was a shameful start to the season. We have been a  lite n’ easy meal for a long time. Only occasionally have we been indigestible.

For the most part, I think there is a big difference between my respect for the ex-players in the media that have and haven't coached.  So easy for these good ex-players to spout their gobs off about the issues with team performance when they haven't coached and don't actually know or have the skills, experience and application to influence team performance.

I haven't heard guys like Paul Roos going all panic stations over one or two games.  As Goody says Fugazi.  I have faith that our coaching brains trust have dissected the actual factors most influencing our relative under performace and have put in place strategies to address them and it won't just be "stop being soo soft".

Now Paul Roos I have respect for. He is not biased and talks sensibly and with knowledge. He doesn't spout the kind of childish nonsense we heard from Cornes about how roughing up the opposition is the thing that has made our game great. Teenage tantrum material. I have no respect for statements like these.

In your opinion .

Ratings suggest people don’t give a rats about journalistic ability.

Great men are nearly always bad men.

There are a plethora of sports elite who have done terrible things in their private life.

Nobody is perfect.

I would suggest Carey has probably come a long way spiritually from his birth outside of Wagga.

When you are perfect and complete come back and tell me how to live.

Failing that , you might reserve your judgement on people’s private lives.

Absolute crap. Nice and cynical world you live in, Biffboy.

 

I think the Dees need to perform more and talk less - simple

    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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
