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.

    Richo just said last week we fielded the second youngest team in the league! I thought we would have been mid league


    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?

    Just now, Lord Travis said:

    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).

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
