This is Mark Need-esque. Your move Goodwin

Wait till we get beaten by the bombers on Friday night. 

 

Well at least Viney isn’t cooked. Looks much better than last week.

    Not that i'm saying "I told you so" or anything, but our players keep fumbling, they are missing kicks and every time they hit up the "hot spot" they are outnumbered and Geelong take the ball out with ease.

    I’m being consoled. Well, attempting to console me. I actually have a tear in my eye. It makes me so sad after how hard we worked last year. It’s like the form during our preliminary final never left us

    That’s probably the only positive I’ve taken from this garbage so far.

     

    Why continue to bomb it into the forward 50 when we have no crumbers?

    Move hunt into the midfield or forward. His obviously having no impact at half back

    Petracca isn’t a forward’s ar$ehole and yet he is always 2-on-1 by himself up forward. Why?

    Then we drop him. He’s in the team on potential, not output. Either he gets involved and has an impact, or we drop him.

    Mate. He is no where near getting dropped. Delivery into the forward line has been terrible. Who are you bringing in for him?

    You would drop him ahead of Jones, ANB, Frost, Sparrow, Lockhart? Would you drop them all? Our list is nowhere near good enough to be dropping Trac.

    how are we this bad - AGAIN!

    We are all in too tight inside the contest.    We need 2 or 3 in close,  and 3 just off the pack to receive or defend space. 

    A bit like when the Saints beat us under Edishat,  3yrs back.

    Because we are so close together in tight...  we're just flipping the ball from one to the other,  until we cough it up.

    ANB and Jones to be dropped.  Past history does not gift you games.

    ANB is useless at AFL level.....great runner though ?

    Jones's used by date ....last week.

    But hey.. be a realist and you're anti Melbourne. 

    Can't wait for the presser

    25 points down is utterly flattering.

    Weideman not a natural footballer 

    needs to spend the start of each season at Casey and continue to learn there’s more to it than mark and kick

    Bring in Keilty

     

    Hell, bring in my brother too. He's a decent forward at least (though admittedly a little lazy).

    • 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.
