We haven’t beat the Swans since Dean Bailey was our coach. He’s been dead for four years.

With the side in poor form, and knowing how the Swans own us, i have zero confidence about tomorrow’s match.

    Dark cloud over this team. Seem really bereft of confidence.

    Goodys pressers make it seem he isnt quite sure how it all went wrong or how to fix it.

    Would love if we turned it around, but history shows how poor we are against them... and up there its been how long since we won?

     

     

     

    Adam was playing full back for Tel-Aviv.

    TMac Stretch Hore and Spargo are on the plane.

    No Preuss

    If this is the case, Preuss will have decided that he joined the wrong club given all the pre-season hype about him forming a partnership with Max. He will be disappointed and frustrated.

    If ANB is in the team I will not watch this game. 

    Where you really thinking of watching the game?

    Go for a romantic candlelight dinner, nice music in the background, a very nice red (don't go for value forget the price), TV or mobile not close by. And don't check the result until next day.

    He got dropped and then had his jaw broken in his VFL match. He got dropped for a reason and hasn’t had time to rectify the cause of his  dropping and build form to return to AFL level. If he plays, itr decision making by the coaching staff.

    It is called desperation!

    Would not be surprised if this is our biggest loss for the year. I honestly think we will be slaughtered.

    Next week the turnaround begins and we start to rebuild confidence in the game plan and each other (players i mean)

    Cant bring myself to watch this game live, thats how little faith i have in the team right now.

    We’ll come out strong and keep them at arms length for the entire night.

    I'm weirdly confident this will be the week we turn things around.

    I'm sure it's completely misplaced. I just don't see how we can play much worse than we have been to date.

    If we can continue on with some consistency then I'm expecting Franklin to kick 12 on Frost, and Oscar to find himself manning someone like Papley who will kick 6 on him by running circles around him.

    Can't wait, should be a corker.

    I see nothing in Hore that screams he will make it. Poor decision if he is in the side.

    Agree ( so far ).

    There is almost zero chance of ANB being dropped so don't get your hopes up guys.

    if you are confused as to why - have a look at the Casey game on the weekend

    Excellent point. The lack of depth amplifies why the outlook is so grim. ANB know he will get picked. Selection pressure is a critical factor in keeping players honest. ANB would definitely be dropped if there was an alternative.

    Dees by 27pts.

    Spargo spotted (alongside Stretch) in the airport this morning. Possibly a quick return post-injury, or at least named as an emergency.

    I used to say that back in the Neeld days and look how that turned out.

    Can't believe Jeff was not on the plane! 

    He is the only one with a bit of x factor and knows where the goals are.  His defensive skills can't be any worse than anyone else in the team.

    He was out injured for just a few weeks so how many games at Casey does he need?  Instead we take an undersized, underdeveloped kid who was dropped after one game and recovering from a broken jaw.

    Just don't understand our selection criteria anymore.

    Fear his card has been stamped.

    This was the case last year.

    • 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?
