Can we reset at 1/2a come with purpose and a plan.

viney not inspiring in his walk off interview.  

‘Maybe come and play man on man. We win the 50/50 contests when we do.

He’s being played out of position.

He needs to be played as a forward or on a wing, not in the backline.

He has lost confidence Clint. He played down there last season and was a much better player. 

Season is done, cant believe it.

Chaplin at least needs to go.

 

Not sure it’s the backline that’s our biggest problem. How many Saints players have we hit with our i50 entries? Feels like 2012 watching some of that junk.


Spargo is a complete waste of space. Anyone who thinks he can play better than Jeffy is kidding themselves including our coach. Tom Mc is doing nothing down forward. Move him back FFS.

Troy ChAplin needs to be held to account. Our backline has gone backwards since he took over from Rawlings. How is this guy getting paid?

Chaplin the [censored] spud, get him out of the club.

Do our players just not know when to run forward and when to push back to defend??

Exactly what the Saints are doing to perfection. They understand their gameplan. We don't

 

Four goals in a half against St Kilda on our 'home ground' in perfect conditions.

Still no system going inside 50.   Too many dumb players, and coaches.

No OMac, no Melbourne. I blame the haters. 


The most putrid thing about this club is the lack of learning. We play the same game on repeat every week. The opposition simply doesn't matter. We have a hell of a lot of dumb at our club

Spargo is a primary schoolboy

Petracca is a prima Donna

Melksham is useless

McDonald is unsighted

Weideman is hopeless 

The Wagners are amateurs

Jetta and Hibberd are liabilities 

Lewis is dumb

In their defense, 3 of the expected first picked back 6 currently aren't playing.

would make no difference

This is everything going wrong that you could have expected. 

Terrible kicking going inside 50, marking forwards who can’t take a mark and no crumbers when it hits the deck. 

They’re spreading the ground wide, using the wings and overlap run off half back, and our zone is breaking down completely. 

Neither Jones nor Lewis are suited to the wing but despite that they’re there and they’re giving us nothing. 

And we can’t stop them scoring when they go inside. 

So far, it looks like last week we benefited from the smaller SCG more so than we improved or fixed anything. 

Oh, and Hibberd is a shadow of his former self and makes more mistakes than anyone except maybe Spargo. 


Petracca misses from 20 out straight in front dry day. Totally unacceptable.

Harmes misses 2 passes and then Spargo does same and Saints kick 3 goals. 

What do these guys do at training, because they can’t kick a footy?

I'm going to say it again. The issue is our inability to hit targets in the forward 50. This game is being played in our forward half. We get entry after entry after entry until eventually the saints manage to run it out and get out the back of our zone, then they can run into an uncontested goal. If we were hitting targets in our 50 they would never get the chance to rebound like that and the threat of us scoring would force them to be more accountable and not break early into space.

I’m at the game and can not believe how slow Sam Weiderman is. Don’t think I have sighted Tom Mac. I think the umpiring has been pathetic. I haven’t understood most of the decisions.

I’m here too Jane.  The bar is the place to be atm

They’re ordinary; we are worse

12 years of being atrocious, one good year last year, now back to being ordinary 

Most frustrating side to support 


Our coaching staff definitely didnt watch the St Kilda Hawthorn game last week.  Anyone with a brain could see how the Saints played and how to counter it.

We had better have a big 2nd half cos that was pathetic.

Time to get Fritsch out of defence. Experiment is failing

On the wing to replace Old Man Lewis.  Salem on the other to replace Chunk.

Why are we playing 2 old men on both wings??  Death wish Goody?????????????

    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.

    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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
