T MAC is a shadow of himself. Move May into forward like 

 

I don’t think we are out of this, we’ve improved this quarter around the ball, just need to get smarter with disposal in our forward half

    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

    Key forwards aren’t in the team to tackle but his pressure is woeful.

    Petracca. The momentum killer.

    Season over

    Serious finals aspirations are... I'd say

    Petracca stuffed it again. How can anyone be satisfied with what he’s producing? 


    We just do not play good in the heat or the wet.

    Just wait till the conditions are perfect, we will blitz.

    Petracca is horrible. Needs to go to the VFL and learn to take a mark. 

    Oliver is the only player I want near the ball. The rest are VFL standard. 

    Amazingly we are not out of this.

    Need to outscore them by 2 goals in the third and see what we can do in Q4.

    Our lack of scoring power is seriously worrying

    oliver is a freak

    brayshaw, viney and harmes are honest battlers

    we have no forward structure and no way of moving the ball forward other than bombing it long

    petracca, anb and hunt worst on

    Tell you what, if this is the only margin at the end, I’ll take it as moral victory

    Fritsch has been disappointing so far this season too. I was expecting him to take another step forward this year and become a quality player, but he’s struggling.

    Oliver really digging in and trying to carry the team. He’s a star.

    Good end to the half. Got on top. 

    Oliver amazing. KK, Frost, May, Brayshaw all solid. Viney in and out. Petracca just terrible. Gawn uninspiring and seemingly not 100%. Zero forward coherency. ANB useless. Weeds not ideal for the weather. Jones is absolutely cooked.

    • 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.
