Fritsch and Lockhart cost us huge this last quarter, back to Casey for them


Just too many players who drop marks or miss handballs and kicks or make poor decisions.

Oliver had 2 handball clangers in a row which led to an Eagles goal.

Frost makes a great tackle then turns it straight over. How long has he been in the system?

Petracca drops marks and misses easy shots.

Garlett misses easy shots.

Hore takes a great intercept mark then squares to CHB and turns it over. His kicking is not reliable enough to ever take that kick.

Set shots terrible.

Repeat ad nauseum.

Season gone.

Whole footy department should be under pressure. Coaches and players. What a waste.

    I’ve said it before.

    Our team is full of dumb/plain footballers. Not ‘game smart’.

    Still loved the effort but there were so many opportunities tonight where we just needed to do simple ‘team’ things that we weren’t able to do.

    Not to mention bad kicking for goal.

    Post game thread will be toxic but with this list, their ground and their umps - heads high

    Typical Melbourne supporters. Act like we're a great chance after the hawthorn game, some of you should be so embarrassed by being 'excited' about the win

    Then you praise Frost and suggest he is loyal and many suggest he is ahead of May

    The year is over, accept it, move on and stop blaming the umpires when we are [censored] and inaccurate 

     

    If good players can’t  kick straight at goal they aren’t good players. Simple fact.

    mot the umps fault, our own for missing far too many easy goals

    Looking to see Rioli rubbed out for his concussion causing sling tackle on Smith

    Smith back on, but has to be careless and medium impact given he was down for a while and went off for concussion test. 


    Seriously, Melbourne must send a please explain to the AFL about poor umpiring

      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?
