Not slobbo , meant Russell Robertson, but I see your point though 

Yep assumed Slobbo and pictured a fat, bald eagle. 

 

McDonald pushed in the back..

1st inside 50, crappy kick, turnover, good spread from the Dons, overlap, goal to the Bombers. We all saw it coming, let's be honest.

 

Nice bomb Jonesy

    I thought he over ran it to be honest.

    Bomb it inside 50 to outnumbered forwards. They run it out and goal. Have we seen that before?

    Same mistakes as before. No manning up. Not going after the ball. Ho hum

    One bad inside fifty but lowering the eyes since.

    Here’s a thought for everyone. Get rid of all of our forwards and replace with contested ball getting midfielders. Then every time we we kick it inside 50 just grub it along the ground and trust the new forwards to get he ball and kick the goals?

    I find it very funny that our captain bombed it. If anyone should know better it's Jones. Also Melksham is more important to us than Gawn.

    Soft free, I’ll take it. Still feels like a fight for us to get a shot on goal. We’re not playing smart inside 50. 

    No, watching it with brothers and dad at my house. How about you?

    You know we are in trouble when ANB is a forward target. Dud.

    Forward structures heaps better, this is much better a part from tge first entry

    I like Tracc on Hurley

    • 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.
