Relax everyone. We are dominating inside 50’s and we all know that’s a great indicator of the outcome.

?

Ha ha.

 

Gawn is a superstar best ruck in the league. Langdon and Salem playing well. We need to take the most of our opportunities up forward great to see Weid take a good mark unfortunately T.Mac isn't there to help him out.

    Kozzy...anyone think he has done anything to deserve a game this season? Been selected on potential and is providing little to no pressure around the forward line

    A bit harsh to say he provides little pressure. Clearly our best pressure forward and should have had a free kick inside 50 that quarter for his tackles. Has faded off after a solid round 1 performance and getting multiple scoring opportunities in the pre season. Might need a week or two off

    We have come a long way when bringing in Omac and then Tmac not playing makes us better.

    Hannan and VDB very quiet.

    Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score. 

    This is what drives me obviously crazy in the coconut. Why does one little misuse and then bam! I feel like we're always working on a scaffold at a construction site with no safety rail behind us.

    Much better than previous weeks and the structure sooo much better with Omac and Weid in!! Shame about TMac as it forces this to change.

    Lockhart no touches and one free kick against, currently -3 rating points...

    Because every other team supporter would say the exact same thing about their team when that occurs...

    Give him time Leon.

    When was the last time we saw a Melb player draw a kick when pretending to shoot at goal, hitting up a mid/forward leading into opportunistic space between 3 opposition players, leaving them scratching their heads?

    Same as Rivers this week


    Who cares about Lockhart, plays down back and as long as his man doesn't kick a bag it's fine 

    AVB, Melk and Hannan are all a true worry

    Can’t win with Melksham, Hannan, Pickett, Jetta, Lockhart and AVB with essentially no stats.

    AVB was magnificent. WTF are you talking about.

    • 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.
