Hot garbage. 

Season is slowly slipping away. 0-2 is a bad bad start.

    I would love us to try taking the shortest route towards goal occasionally rather than going as close to the boundary as possible every time.

    oh and why do the cats always manage to find their accurate kicking boots against us every time

    Fussing around with it in the centre there cost us. Wet weather, kick it long down the guts

    And when that happens, people will complain about bad entries. 


    Getting done on the outside again. This is going to be a long night.

    Are they not going to call holding the ball at all?

    Weak as [censored] in our tackling. 

    We look slow and horrible and completely lost our contested ball edge. 

    Our lack of leg speed is killing us. 

    sad to watch viney ,not himself no spark

    Nowhere near it. We're so far off top 8 level it's frightening  


    We won't win this.

    Three times we have gone for the ball, and a teammate peels off instead of shepparding. All three times we've lost possession. 

    We're playing decidingly poor team football. 

    They have numbers around the stoppages. It is a carbon copy of Ports domination around the ball last week.

    We are in a bad slump right now.

    Not sure how that wasnt ball?

    • 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.
