    Our new recruits look above our normal class and effort which is positive.

    Don't worry horse, we'll drain that out of them in no time.

    Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

    The scary thing is we are still in the game. I don't think we could be much worse than we have been. Viney is the only one that can hold their head up high. Our pressure is non existent and we have fumbled and been careless with the ball. Is it time to drop Brayshaw he's been pathetic.

    pickett looks good, a few better signs but need  alot more effort.  Im not sure if its the system the coach wants to play or our players are dumb but we really suck at times.

    My mates in our messenger group:

    “How funny was that“

    “Who is that Gumby in the back line”
     

     “There he is”

    no guesses Who they’re referring to.

    They look totally flat. 
     

    I think the decision coming before the game got inside our heads. 
     

    They probably don’t believe it/not focused. 
     

    Just going through the motions. 

    Players look too hot and bothered. Someone please give them some silk fans.

    Simply too slow for our gameplay.

    We know it's going to come in quick with the way we play. I've never been a fan, but I'm sure another team (or a different game plan) would suit him much better.

    Given we are flush with inside mids who can butcher the ball, why not trade him?

    Gotta give something to get something.

    Yet West Coast are switched on.

    The opposition always fire up

    We don’t.

    This is actually a quintessential Goodwin coached game. Still holding on for dear life to a 2018 gameplan. We don't know whether we're coming or going.

    Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

    Charlie having another blinder

    2 x kicks to eagles palyers

    1 x kick missed the target

    1 x 50 metre penalty

    Oh and 1 mark

    I will go to the grave, hopefully soon if this is the best we can do afetr a solid pre season, not understanding how he gets a game. He is a project player that was unsuccessful- time to move on

    We got rid of Frosty & kept OMac. FMD.

    OMac has actually been one of our better players! Take off the blinkers.

    Difference between a truly professional organisation and ours Clint. They don't accept mediocrity, it's seemingly all we know.


    Gawny appears to be protecting his knee. He has no spring and is avoiding contact with man mountain Natanui.

    I don't blame Max. One game is not worth getting injured for, but the ease of WC clearances from the centre has killed us just as much as our witches hat game plan.

    Disappointing. I was hoping to watch this game fir the next 10 weeks. Can't even watch it for the next 10 minutes.

    The players can now see where they are at compared to a Top 6 team. Miles off the skills required.

     

    looking at the brights side, all recruits except Brown at this stage, playing well. Kossie is a Jet. And i put $10 at 11:1 on Viney to get +30 disposalsdisposals

    • 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?
