We’re lucky Hawthorn are shizenhouzen. Need Jeffy to slot a couple, he’s been looking almost there.

    Our effort vs reward has to be the worst in the league. Too many unskilled footballers lacking smarts.

    ...and then we run out of juice.

     

    It's not the skills per se, they have the skills. It's the between-the-ears-skills, the lack of confidence, the second guessing, the don't-[censored]-this-upping, the pressure (perceived or otherwise) ... every player is only too aware of what's not working, and the pressure and expectation that that brings is almost impossible to ignore.

    The big mindf*ck.

    Trac’s set shots are laughably bad for an afl footballer. He’s been good otherwise and has an impact whenever he is near the ball. Time to start getting him up into the midfield instead and play to his strength.

    Our set shots in general have been poor all year. We don’t seem to have anyone who can reliably kick straight. TMac did last year, but he doesn’t touch the ball anymore...

    Garlett has been dangerous. He’s generated more opportunities today than all our other forwards combined have all season!

    I don’t want to labor it but Trac “looking dangerous” and actually doing something of value over an entire game or season are two completely different things.

    He doesn’t work hard enough/isn’t fit enough/not good enough to play midfield or he would be by this time in his career.

    If you're posting from the ground then it's the 4G networks fault. 

    You sure it’s not that “server issue” you mentioned during the week?

    I don’t like to bag players too much but I’m really not sure what ANB contributes. Hope he has a big second half but he is so fumbly. Just runs around doing nothing 

    Terribly out of form like so many.  Cupboard bare at Casey

    when we knock it out in a tackle its holding the man. When they knock it out on us its dropping the ball

    Yep from watching on TV they can dispose of it how they want whilst being tackled, they also throw it a hell of a lot. 


    Yahoo!  Forward line had outnumbers and win ground ball ....can't recall that in a while

    Jeffy's too scared to have a shot off his own boot now after that earlier effort........not a bad thing.


    2nd time...first Joe the Goose in like what seems like forever!  T-mac first mark in a while also

    T Mac’s skills are just...not good.

    is he playing with injections to a foot ?

     

    I just realised I paused the game earlier and was 3 minutes behind. I was wondering why comments weren’t making much sense.

    Jefffyyyyy!

    • 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.
