We are poorly skilled and yes lack a forward line.

 

I am listening to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. 

It lessens the feelings of dread that are building 

we don’t like odd years. It’s too hard to go again

    Anyone who saw either of our preseason games knew this was coming. We're going to be one of the easiest teams to beat this year. Bottom four looks likely, even though we might recover slightly by midyear and make a charge to the bottom reaches of the eight if we can tweak our gameplay and get Lever back.

     

    Just joined from WA.

    Why did Jones choose to kick into the wind after winning the toss?  We planning to come home with a wet sail?

     

    Easiest team in the AFL to score against. It’s wet FFS! Why are we letting them get so much easy ball? 


    Neal Bullen is a mouth breather. 

     

    we are going to lose this by 72+

    we have no idea how to get the ball forward whatsoever, and the amount of space they're getting is extraordinary in their forward 50

    bereft of idea

    There is no dropping the ball at Geelong Except when a Demon does it. 

    It is basically cheating

    We’ve gone backwards 3 years. This team looks like it’s trying but doesn’t have the skill or gameplan/game sense to be anything other than “competitive”. 

    Our main strength is contested ball and we’ve completely lost it. Teams have worked out how to position themselves to counter our kids at stoppages. Our season isn’t looking good.


    So I bought a new fishing rod and reel today.

    Time to get excited again about having the #1 draft pick :( 

    Petracca can [censored] off. Drops chest marks and slips basic tackles. He is playing [censored] football when he get sick near it, which isn’t often. Serious waste of talent. So disappointing.


    Wow. We’re not even vaguely competitive.

    • 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.
