What's the bet our useless coach doesn't even review this tripe

 

Great goal Oscar

    Our forward line is rat****. 

    Pickett looks flashy, but ultimately is a non-contributor. Offers little offensively and defensively.

    Jackson isn’t a forward.

    Weid can’t handle wrestling with big defenders.

    TMac is slower and less agile than my grandmother.

    Fritsch is a specialist at shanking his kicks.

    Melksham doesn’t rock up half the time.

    Possibly the worst forward line since Brad Miller lead players like Pettard and Dawes into battle.

    That is just comedy gold!

     

    Guys i got home late.  Thought chanel 70 was on series tag.  Wait ....no recording as my series tag for AFL was too low down the pecking order.  Arghh....wot to do.  Wait i got Kayo yippee!

    So i sit down with dins and a cold ale hoping to at least witness a hard fought contest with a team that's eager to improve.

    Now i have no idea what's happened.  I have not read one post on here and i don't know the result.  However, i just had the unfortunate experience of watching one of the most undisciplined bunch of rabble attempt to play something resembling AFL footy i have ever seen.  Easily rates up there as a top 50 or so i think and ive seen some horrors watching this mob.

    All rookies excused.  The rest who have 70 plus games or more, apart from a few try hards, well words escape me.  Abomination?

    So i head into the 2nd  hoping for the best but expecting more of the same.  We don't even look like scoring a goal at this point with one rushed kick from a defender (Lockhart...who actually wasn't too bad that quarter) and a bog ordinary nothing kick from Clarry into the post after the siren.

    Could it get worse?  Yes it could.  If we keep playing at that sub standard we'll be lucky if any networks will even bother with us from here.  Who the hec would want to watch this rubbish.  Very hard to polish a turd i'm afraid.

    And it all started with a wet behind the ears Georgiardio easily losing Oscar as Port brought it through the middle, taking a simple overhead, and kicking truly.  His bro, lead foot Tom, aint helping one bit so far.  And Harmes!??  What the hell's going on there?  Chunk doing his usual get ball ...turn ball over immediately through the middle trick.  

    We almost look like we've raised the white flag from the get go.

    I hope i'm proven wrong.  Off to watch the 2nd.  Oh what joy.

    Oh get [censored] Fritsch! Absolute [censored] himself then

    9 years ago to the day we put in a gutless effort like this. Really, not a lot seems to have changed bar the fact we apparently have more 'talent'.

     

     

    How the [censored] didn’t the goal umpire see that. He was 20cm from it

    Can't remember there last time I've done it even in the dark Neeld years but I'm turning off just making me angry. I don't need this s*$@t

    Honestly, the best way to deal with this is to not care about it.

    I wonder if the bloke running the place understands just how dangerous it would be for the clubs future if other long term members took a similar view?

    Putrid lack of effort from OMac there

    [censored] that goal umpire needs a new job... I wonder if he can coach?

    Amazing how this club can ruin my weekend and it not even be Friday yet

    Its thoughtful of the lads to save you time though.

    Fritch & Omac backline synergy - BRILLIANT


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

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

    He’s a tiny peanut. Overrated on this site so far. Let’s hope he improves. Looks like a poor man’s JKH at this stage.

    WTF is Langdon doing?  HE sees the turnover on our HF line and for some idiotic reason every single time he starts stalking forwards towards the ball carrier and leaves his man wide open on the wing.  How many times have they gone over his head tonight?

    We only seem to win when max takes at least 10 marks.

    • 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.
