How did Viney escape that tackle? Trac torched that play, but that was vintage handball chains c. 2018 there.

 

Something seriously needs to be done about Tracc's kicking action. Its terrible.

    Tracc pls get your kicking right mate.  Give him no other task on the track this week but working on his kicking on the run and set shots.  Stretch the same!  How far off it is Gus!????

    Lockhart is going from strength to strength. Very clever, the kind of smart footballer we need more of. Creative.


    Twice in a row Tim Smith doesn’t jump when he’s in the vicinity of TMac. The first one TMac misses the mark by a whisker, the second spills out the back and he gets a goal out of it. Forwards who don’t spoil each others marks - it’ll never catch on.

    A nice stat....

    Melbourne have outscored West Coast 3.1.19 to 1.2.8 from stoppages. All three of Melbourne's stoppage goals have been from throw-ins in its forward half.

    Fritsch of 2019 is a liability and adds nothing to the side. His kicking has turned to [censored] and he’s getting beaten in the air. Needs a spell at Casey big time.

    Why do we keep slipping over?

    VFL-level awareness there from the 1st gamer. We were off there.

    Oscar panic handball to Salem ...sells him in to trouble as he has no legs at all


    Baker struggling with the pace of the game, but getting to the right spots to link up. Could be decent if he gets used to the step up in pace.

    Few games and he’ll be right I reckon

    Ouch. Not to be heartless but shouldn’t we have the ball since no one touched the ball after the kick in?

     

    Oscar has been quite good tonight. I almost don't fill my pants every time he's near the ball, which is nice.

    • 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.
