We still rate Pickett??

I've never been able to make my mind up, but I laugh everyime I think of that video we released from draft night with our recruiters talking about him in the vein of Rioli.

    It hasn’t been in the forward line for him to a) kick goals b) defensive pressure

    Lol Pickett, does nothing but give away frees. Cant believe we've likely essentially paid more than pick 1 for him.

    That's the way guys, let's get stuck into the 7th gamer when all of our core leaders are playing poorly.

    Nothing like paying 2 first rounders and 750k a year for an OMac clone 

    You muppet, he's possibly one of about 2 of our players who are playing well.

    30-10 hitouts yet we're behind in clearances.

    Yes our mids our woefully out of form, but Max needs to learn how to give an effective hitout. Better off doing the old Jeff White thump it 30 meters forward instead of just dropping it at the feet of the opposition.

    If Goodwin sees out his contract, he will be Melbourne’s last coach.

    Pickett has to stop that stupid push in the back.

    That and spraying kicks from 30 out wide of the goals are his only attributes.

    I can’t wait for the excuses from Goodwin and his apologists

    Look for the silver lining.

     

    At least the coach will finally be torched by the media this week. Just in time for us to play bottom placed Adelaide, where we will enjoy an uninspiring 10pt win, or a soul destroying loss.

    This is as bad as anything from 2019.

    Utterly pathetic.

    I would say worse, hardly any injuries new fitness boss, still a sniff of finals ( clearly not any more ). This is pathetic.

    23 inside 50s to 7 since quarter time.

    We've been inside 50 7 times in nearly a half of football. Disgraceful.

    Goodwin will say it’s all a learning process. 

    It’s a spanking.

    Season over for mine

    • 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?
