What if May had of come to pre season fit?

What if J Smith had 've been taken off the ground rather than aggravate his groin?

What if McDonald & Weed were in form? 

What if Lewis wasn't so slow?

What if Jones passed the ball off instead of breaking tackles?

What if Clarry kicked the ball more?

What if Lever hadn't of gotten injured?

What if Goodwin tried a different plan?

What if he played Fritter as a forward?

What if he played Frost & Hunt on the wings?

What if the ladder was upside down? What if this season is just a nightmare & we all wake up 2moro morning?

What if.........?

    I look forward to seeing 'when' rather than 'what if'!

    He WAS taken off the ground.

    Did a fitness test on the boundary line, looked in agony, so obviously we sent him back onto the ground in a meaningless game.

    What if we held firm and demanded pick 5 off of Freo, and drafted Rozzee.

    What if we didn't sell the farm for Lever.

    What if Oliver didn't sh*t himself everytime he had the ball in close and dished it off like a hot spud.

    What if Petracca wasn't scared to take the game on.

    What if Brayshaw didn't turn the ball over so much and had penetration in his kick.

    What if we had two Christian Salem's.

    What if we didn't overrate Tom McDonald as a forward. He isn't a forward's a-hole.

    What if Gawn was an effective tap ruckman.

    What if Goodwin could coach.

    What if we dropped Lewis back to the VFL - where he belongs.

    What if Hibberd went with him.

    What if we had of kept Bernie Vince.

    What if.

    Agree with Rozee call, though we would have taken Bailey Smith

    What if we all just accept this year is a write off as disappointing as it is.

    What if we all stop blaming our coaches & players.

    There will be some serious egg on face in 12 months.

    We'd still be slow?

     

    The sad fact is that some of those were preventable (recruiting Lewis, who Cornes reckons would not have been offered a likeable deal by any other club) long ago.  Lewis didn't suddenly slow down over the pre-season.  He was slow when he walked in the door.

    The other sliding doors moment happened during the finals in 2018, where Scott and Geelong totally revamped their stocks (youth, talent), where we were comfortable beating slow teams on the G.  In contrast, we traded our way out of the super-draft, and paid big money for icing rather than cake.

     

    When this club has review at the end of 2019, all it had to do was read the preview here in the past few years.  That is the sad reality.

    TGR: "Jordan Lewis is slow, we never should have recruited him and we paid too much for Lever."

    • 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.

      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?
