Don't speak too soon.. Hearing Lockhart out for ANB

I really hope this is a joke.

Lockharts been about the only enjoyable thing from the last two games.  FMD

With these outs, it's backs against the wall stuff.

I'm tipping us to pull off an upset that rivals us rolling the Eagles in Perth in '98.

between the reduced home game crowds against Essendon and in two weeks against Richmond I suspect the finances have already taken a hit against budget

Well the sponsors wouldn't be too worried yet. No such thing as bad publicity, and there's been arguably more coverage of how bad we are right now vs what we would have got with a more expected start to the season. 

With the potential late changes and the worry re: ANB getting a gig - Jay Clark is saying that both Hore and Spargo are on standby should both Jetta and Lockhart not play.

Despite years of beltings I can proudly say I've never once turned off or walked out before full time. Different levels of supporting your team I suppose.

Ditto,    well  waited till less than 10 minutes to go, even if we are being belted, sometimes its better to get away and be a bit calmer in the traffic !!

THIS injury list is growing worse by the minute. The side that takes the field tonight is the worst in 4 years.

And those 4 years are 1974, 1985, 2007 and 2013.

Same same. Not once in the many, many years i have followed the dees.

Actually once. But not because were losing. We actually won the game. I had to leave the dees v saints round one game from a few years back at Docklands because i had an event i had to attend.

 

With Jetta out I am no longer thinking we could win this. If ANB plays then the selectors have rocks in their head.

Lets just say that the injury list is the worst in 4 years.

Unacceptable, mate.  What sort of fan are you?  Well?  WELL?????

Buddy just saw our backline, called his mum and told her to watch this one

this is beyond a joke - there are too many soft tissue injuries. Enquiries need to be made.

Garbage, It is just the nature of the sport. Happens to all clubs at one time or another.

I take it most of the posters on here,  who have made disparaging or derogatory remarks about the team and individual players,  wont we watching or attending the game? I mean what's the point

Saty, I suspect that there will be many supporters not turning on whether they have made disparaging comments or not. Unfortunately, that is the nature of the beast, applying to all team based sport. 

Fans are fickle and they don't like watching or listening to their side losing after a succession of losses whether it be Melbourne or any side. Look how power sides like Hawthorn have a drop off of fans if their form is poor.

Everyone wants to support and follow winners, and for the passionate, its personal.

And lay zero tackles again? The sooner Garlett returns the better.

And zero goals again, and minimal impact.

These night games must be good for you Sku, at least 10.30am is an acceptable time for a beer, rather than 6am. (which is also acceptable in many circumstances).

Yep. Backs against the wall folks may just bring the best out of who ever we still have playing.

I have I agree with others the side we are putting out is rubbish, sadly other quality sides seem to manage when they have a few outs. I still think we can win, but I thought we should have beat Essendon comfortably last week.  

Thank god dean towers got delisted last year, I wonder which average player is going to destroy us tonight ?

  • 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.
