    We are always one on four or five. 
    Horrible lack of accountability.

    Disagree.  In fact, I reckon we were the slightly better side... except for the turnovers which killed us.  If we cut those down by half we would be two goals in front.

    but we're not. you could say that about a majority of our games the past 18 months. this isn't an uncommon issue. it's a consistent theme. turnovers are symbolic of the broader issues.

     

    Everytime Gawn gets the ball he turns it over.

    Pickett is out of his depth.

    Bennell has looked classy.

    Viney best of midfielders.

    True, and this is terribly easy for me to say, but take that away and we're the better side.  It's a massive thing though so it's difficult to justify, but I think around the ground we've been better.

     

    Now it may just be me, but I thought there were a lot of looks when Goodwin was speaking that suggested 'weve heard this before...'

    [censored] off with Weideman copping holding the ball then missing out on our 2 clear free kicks.

    Square up there.

    Kozzie getting the dodgiest free kick of the round there.  Bit of a square up for the five they missed earlier.

    Not hard against GC

    Reminds me of the one bloke near the mic when we play over in Adelaide celebrating every goal.  Love it.

    I don't care what the commentators say about the Pickett free. Makes up for all the ones we don't get in our forward line. 

    This  HTB rule change is a calamity

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
