Please do this for the Eagles list too. Did anyone play to your standards I wonder?  Such a pesimistic post

Stretch - Not AFL standard

Brayshaw - Loss his ability

T.McDonald - Didn't reward himself

Frost - Good until late

Hore - Another good game

O.McDonald -Wasn't our worse

Wagner - Not AFL standard

Smith - was well beaten

Lockhart - Was rarely sighted

Neal-Bullen - battles until concussed

Petty - showed some promise

Fritsch - Lost all confidence

Baker - Had his chances

Margetts - FMD

Seriously, tonight was a good argument for not allowing umpires from home states to umpire when the opposition are from outside that state.

Like in test cricket the umpires must be neutral.

Yes we cost ourselves with poor kicking but that Smith decision was a disgrace and probably cost us the game.

Forget Rampe climbing up a post that had absolutely no effect on the result and his remark to the umpire had even less.

A 12 point turnaround and a player incapacitated.

The WC player will be sighted on the tackle & probably get a week but the umpires dept and Shocking will still try to tell us the umpire got it right...

 

 

Pruess - should have played

Smith - should not have

Jones - slow to react

Fritsch - coughs it up

Harmes - Great 1st half

Tim Smith - Luck over due

Stretch - never ever finishes

Hore - Great 1st half

Trac - Good and bad

Garlett - Good and bad

TMac - Great and OK

MFC - brave but flawed

Jones - slowing but effective 

Viney -  in and under 

Gawn - an outstanding game

Oliver - exciting  centre chain

Harmes - great first half

Hunt - some impressive cameos

Garlett - goals improved performance 

Petracca - get kicking coach

Salem -  less influence tonight 

Stretch -  tries very hard

Brayshaw - lost in space

T.McDonald - getting better ?

revisionism

Stretch - please get out

Petracca- do you train?

Brayshaw- stop slipping over

Oscar- surprisingly good tonight 

Viney- stop taking on

Mcdonald- so damn slow

Wagner- learn to kick

Petty- get in gym

Goodwin- please play preuss

Garlett- go for marks

Umpires- you are [censored]

Smith - better than most !

Umpires - favour West Coast 

Team - Lack Composure totally 

Luck - We had none 

Season - Gone and worsening !

 


Frost - becoming more valuable

Hore - bye bye Lewis

We are missing Lever, May, Lewis, Hibbo and Jets from the back half, I have to give credit to Hore and Frost who have been really solid the past few weeks. If our full backline was available I'm wondering if Hore has gone past others for a spot in the best 22. He is getting better by the week.

Thought Smith was ok in a tough position until he was killed in the last quarter

I’ve given up on Stretch. Really hoped he could make it, but sadly it’s not going to happen for him. Kolodjashnij has his spot if he can ever get on the park.

I felt Oliver tapered off a little when he had a bit of a head clash (not sure if it was second or third qtr) but he was electric before that.

Agree with both, Petracca I'm calling it.. Time to Trade. Momentum killer of the highest order.

Billy Stretch , Similar to Cale the Whale! Prefer others when fit!

MFC - please stand up 

Lost count of the number of times our players slipped over tonight, embarrassing, same thing happened in last year's two games at Optus. And I notice it happening every week, particularly Viney, slips over nearly every time he goes near the ball.

T. Smith- Not AFL standard.

B.Pruess- Where was he?

Set shots- Killed us Again.

Petracca- So [censored] frustrating.

Gawn- One man band.

Long kicks to Mcgovern and co- just so predictable.

Skill level- Not AFL standard.

Football IQ-  just doesnt exist.

Football boots- screw-ins not required

Hore- Stroke of Genius.

Hunt- Has reinvented himself.

Goodwin- Good for 3qtrs

Rest of Season- Couldn't give two...

Elegt harsh & unfair 

 

Petracca should be waking up to a 4 or 5 goal performance in a huge interstate win, but not to be, again.

I actually think he is having an ok year, but he is so close to having a very good year.

Agreed.  Harsh on Jonesy who showed he still gets into the close midfield contests.   He also kicks the footy. His opening goal was very good.

    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?
