If McDonald wasn't going to get dropped he certainly is after that effort

    Haha remember a few years back when Port were a joke, the Lions were getting smashed, and the Saints were just plain bad?

    ...and we were on the up and up.

    Ah, memories.

    This midfield reminds me of that time we had Moloney, McKenzie and Grimes as our starters.

    What do you expect him to do?

    He's got Fritsch on a wing, Viney in the forward line, TMac higher up the ground.

    What do you want?

    It's systemic change from him we need, not gameday flipping of magnets.

    The players have been pathetic tonight. No guts, no desire, no run, ****house disposal, just an absolutely rubbish performance. I don't know what Goodwin could do? I'm not saying he's not part of the problem but when the players are as pathetic as they've been tonight I don't know what a coach is expected to do. Clarkson the supercoach couldn't do a thing to turn the tide against us a few weeks back. Sometimes it's not the coach.

    The players need a massive rocket because this is just pathetic.

    Georgiades went 6 picks after Pickett in last years draft... and they say talls usually take longer!

    Jason Taylor thought he was getting him at 32. Joke.

    Hibbo's tried. Langdon runs hard. Lockhart was good in the first half. The rest...? They've been utterly atrocious.

    Goodwin has destroyed this team.

    McDonald is officially cooked which is sad. He looks like a big truck out there trying to keep up with everyone.

    We can’t buy a free. 

    True, but even if they gave us the free, and we had the ball, what would we do with it?

    Probably plant it straight onto Westhoff's chest 30m out. Goal. Nah, not keen on that.

    This is far more of a problem than gameday moves.

    I get people are frustrated but there is so much rubbish in this thread. There's plenty wrong with the club but complaints about Lever (possibly our best), Pickett (7th game) and Goodwin not flipping magnets is ridiculous and doesn't address the real issues: turnovers, gameplan, lack of leadership, inability to play football unless we win CPs/clearances, lazy midfielders.

    It would not. I’m all for cracking jokes about this club and this game but when someone you know is fighting for life from this virus, this [censored] pales in comparison. 

    Most people don’t get sick at all with the virus.

    • 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.
