    Im seriously considering not going. That was just appalling to watch.

    Is it really gonna matter? Richmonds speed will tear us apart.

    Their mosquito squad is gonna be at half mast already.

    Well, let's see how they go tonight.

    One thing in our favour for the ANZAC Eve game, quite a few of our players will have fresh legs.

    Having said that, clearly Spargo and Corey Wagner are eminently replaceable, with the obvious in being Garlett, and I guess Stretch gets another run at AFL, as much as the very thought will have a few peopl tearing their hair out.

    Out Wagner's ,hore , Spargo and all vfl standard players. Do we have any AFL standard to come in ?

    I’m happy to play short

    Tbf, the one I will say is Stretch. I know he’s not the saviour, but he’s someone who can provide us what we don’t have, he can run both ways on a wing.

    Not many options. No point rushing May or Lever this season. 

    NO point player lever at all till next year

    Tmac needs to join his brother. His best effort was going through the banner. He must be injured so do not play him.

    Can we forfeit next week and drop the whole team to Casey? Might be better than putting up with soulless efforts.

    I’d drop Spargo who has no idea what he’s doing out there defensively. 

    I’d also pretend to “rest” at least one of Hibberd, Jones and TMac.

    Agree on Spargo, should be dropped.

    I thought Hore was alright and the Wagner family were competitive.

    At least this loss cannot be blamed on Oscar.

    The indecision delivering the ball into the fwd line  does not give Weids,TMAc any chance I think TMAc is injured becasue he is not running like he can.

    Jeets was good today. Woried about Hibberds ability to \compete 1 on 1.

    Charlie Spargo has to learn to make good decisions i.e When there are 4 or 5 Melbourne blokes , WHY KICK IT TO a CONTEST !!!!!!

    Fritsch , Brayshaw, Gawn Good  , Preuss & Petracca Good first half.

    Probably the worst I have seen the team play for 3 years.  The loss to WC in Prelim Final showed ALL sides how to play Melbourne.

    How come Ratten got away from us . He would be worth more than what we are paying May.

    • 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.
