Pickett needs to Learn to never kick to Viney in a one on one.

    What is Lever doing there?  Has no opponent, in no mans land, and still manages to get sucked into the contest instead of protecting the inside outlet at the contest

    Geez Weid has to mark those. 

    Yep.  The only good thing is that he is leading up to the ball and providing a target.  Just have to hope he starts clunking a few for his confidence.

     

    Weid drops a basic chest mark.  How is that not holding the ball 10 meters out??

    For a guy who has no hands on his arms Weid does really well to forearm the ball. Keep it up buddy!

    We've known about it for a week now just get rid of it. When you're hot you're hot!

    Didn’t get a chance to get rid of it. It’s such an over correction. 

    A definitive switch to possession style footy.

    Weid still can’t hold a grab. 

    Anyone else feel as though there is better pressure in our forward half as opposed to the last few weeks?  We just seem a bit more up and about forward of the ball than we have been.

    Every turnover turns to a goal for them and they are kicking each one of them out their butthole

    Handball from Tracc....awful.  shouldve been a shot at goal.  Minimum 7 point turnaround

     

    Petracca 5 touches, 4 turnovers. And people bang on about Oliver.

    Gold Coast can’t miss. This won’t be our night.

    • 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?
