Its not my system. Its Champion datas. Its also now supercoach points.

Not joking. 5 points. Only players that get injured in the first 10 minutes finish with that score.

Agreed.  Ineffective kicks are a Spargo forte 

 
 

Bedford and Pickett all to come out of today. 

We are way off it, just a dismal performance.

27 points flatters us.

    How are the umpires still so blind? 
    the crowd noise means nothing

    Predicted it, probably all West Australians, it's the ones they haven't paid to us.

    absolutely

    The result in isolation is ok, but the performance was ****house. Anyway, it matters little at the moment.

    Yes but he wins the ball and has a crack, more than a lot of others

    Worst part of the 10 week break is that we have time to build up our hopes again.

    That allows the team to kill our hopes twice in one season.

    All of this.


    Great handball from Bedford and goal to Kozzie. Something to look forward to. 

    27 points, can already see Goodwin’s presser. “Had some great opportunities early to put scoreboard pressure on, they capitalised on a 5 minute lapse at the end of the first quarter, we weren’t efficient with out ball use. At the end of the day that last patch in the first quarter was the difference.”

    He won’t be asking for accountability, he won’t be honest that there are players that are just not doing enough. 

    FWIW Viney, Bedford, and Kozzie made that sh—show worth watching.

    @Lord Nev how's Simpson's 1 ruck idea going? Gawn getting smashed by Nik Nat AND Hickey. Making one of the best rucks in the game look like a simpleton.

    Geez imagine being the sort of person that, with everything going on, jumps on the internet to restart a footy argument.

     

    We need Yze to be coach, he has coached under the coach of the century. Goodwin is a Essendon reject a team that has done nothing for 20 years. We need Hawthorn's game plan not Essendon's.

    We are nowhere near being a contender I’m afraid. On the evidence of today - one game of course - we have not progressed at all. If anything we looked worse.
    Not  that it matters now.

    Our kicking is deplorable. 

    I have used that sentence for 15 years as my main gripe and nothing has been done to fix it.

    Didn't help today that about 14 of our players were pathetic.

    Not as bad as Hibberd.  

    There's more important stuff going round at the moment. Thst being said...

    • 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.
