NO FORWARDLINE 

no backline lever is the biggest spud ever would have alister nichalson rather than him

 

Time for a green tin.

I count ONE contested mark inside out forward 50 so far today. 

It's time to play a big body ( May?) at CHF and try and clunk some marks to at least keep the ball in there for more than 20 seconds or so.  Tommo to Lynch pls.

Oliver’s disposal today has been abysmal.

It has been for 2 years, most people just turn a blind eye to him here.

    Levers running is so lazy. Got himself caught in no mans land then and allowed dusty to kick under no pressure 

    Another goal less quarter. How many times !!

    We're unwatchable. I'd say call the season off but we'd be the same in 9 months time anyway.

     

    Can someone remind me the reasoning behind our forward line.  It isn't forward pressure  ball goes in straight out score

    He is by far and wide the worst recruit we've had

    5 free to 4 in our favour. Although sometimes it’s the frees not paid. 

    The Petracca one that handed them a goal was a shocker. The umpire even admitted no prior opportunity! Pathetic!

    I’ll say what I said earlier this week, Pickett isn’t ready

    You say this straight after his amazing 3 defensive efforts at half forward?  Not many will be agreeing with you on this one ?

    this is 100% structural. we do the same [censored] thing every single time. EVERY SINGLE TIME. we then get absolutely smoked on the transition against decent teams. This is a football lesson.

    Goodwin is out of his element coaching at AFL level. This is 90s-era football being coached in a completely different football era.

    He's a [censored] Muppet.

    Needs to be dropped.

    Disposal ha ha ha. Not under 10’s standard. 
    Oliver not a disposal to us. 
    VDB can’t run or take possession.

    • 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.
