Starting to take more risks with dispoal and trust a little more...numbers at the ball

 

Oh my god we actually have players at the back of the pack. It’s a miracle!

    Amazing what a bit of scoreboard pressure can do.

    Suddenly the Hawks are not so composed and our frantic game style is working in our favour

    Helps when we hit a few targets

    For sure....Harmes movement from the 2nd quarter also got us going

    Our best quarter of the year will mean [censored] all if we don't bring it again in the last. Can we just bury Hawthorn for once?

    Why you play Salem off a wing!!!

    connection... this is why I wanted Salem on the wing... since earlier in season.

    Start him from the wing...  so he is free from minding a half forward...  but he pushes back to the back-half to assist... and to run and carry forward,  and connect with Forwards. 

    As a good winger should be doing,  anyway.

    Tracc into the middle brings a bit of  space to move in for Hunt and TmAc

    exactly !!!       Tracca is too slow and cumbersome,  on a f/flank.

    He kills our F50 with his lack of.

    Harmed has been outstanding. Back to second half of last year form today

    What the complete F is happening??

    team balance is happening.

    Wow hopefully we can hold off the 21 hawk players on the ground in the 4th this umpiring is beyond diabolical

    Just heard the best description of a blatant free kick which was not given against Roughead. A commentator called it "the good bloke rule." Enough said.

    School kid stuff. Can't kick, can't handball and still to many in close at ball and no one spreading. Its not that hard !

    We actually disposed of the ball better that quarter and looked for players in the red and the blue. Amazing stuff. Also spreading. Come on boys. 30 more minutes. Hawks off 6 days. They must be tired after chasing us that qtr.

    Harmes has been fantastic. I love Salem on the wing, it's great to have brains out there!

    Much better from Hibbo, too.

    It hasn't been pretty, and we're so low on confidence that you can see the jitters every time we get the ball, but geez if we can bring this home, it might give the boys something to think about.

    Loved seeing a smile on TMacs face, too!

    Let's go Dees! I'm here but have a special guest so only 97% focused instead of the usual 100.

    As good a tunnel ball throw after being done for holding the ball

    14 frees to 9 in Hawthorn favour

    And even Eddie is calling out the ones they are missing

    F... I hate those cheating maggots

    • 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?
