No doubt we're struggling, and that's down to how good the Lions are playing.  We just can't get any clean ball or any time to use it.  Full credit to them.

    Can we make anymore mistakes

    Well game is done 

    We had two good games against poor opponents. Sadly we are nowhere near good enough against quality opponents.

    Been saying this all year, but Jetta is finished.

    Gosh some of our boys go so cold with skills, intensity and focus once the wick is turned up.

    You could say the same for Jones.  Both have lost a yard or two of pace and they need to step aside now.

    Harmes is too slow - has been caught 3 times holding the ball. Where is Brayshaw?

    The midfield not benefiting from Gawn must get down to coaching - Fagan is wiping the floor with Goodwin. 

    Tough on him, 2 of them he had no prior but this new interpretation screwed him.

    Brisbane are very good but we have missed enough easy shots to be in front, let alone the effect of the putrid umpiring. We need to come out fired up and make the first ten mins count. And Goodwin, fix up the clearances!

    Totally agree, smashed in the clearances. Lions have been really good tbf. 

    We're still in this!

     

    Can someone be clean

    How the [censored] is that not a from against Andrews first

    • 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.
