[censored] abysmal. How long must we wait to support an average team, let alone a good one?

Disgusting...

 

I think the question of who was missing their puppy has been answered.


Players didnt look suitably gutted enough for mine.

Unlike the suppporters.

That was easily the softest physical display by any team this year...and possibly other than some of our own performances it may have been one of the softest across the league for the last 5 years.

Beaten physically and no f*&ks given. Multiple players $hat themselves at the physical contact and flicked the ball away. An absolutely disgusting performance by every single player who took the field tonight.

Very, very good.

 

'gutted' and 'ashamed' are the first polite words that come to my mind.

Dogs breakfast. Nobody had a half decent game. After some good signs, that hurts big time.

I can feel that numb, dead feeling circa Neeld era starting to wash over me. 
 

I just don’t care anymore. 

Hot garbage.

Even if the boys were tired.

And that's a big IF, because it's clear that the guys couldn't be arsed tonight, I just want to toy with the hypothetical.

Why the dumb football?

And the complete lack of heart?

And the lack of any semblance of a gameplan? (does fatigue affect the coach?).

We're channeling the 1970s when I was a (depressed) kid.

They're confused and without a decent system. 

It's a mess.

Lever, May, Lockhart, Sparrow, Trac.. the rest [censored] off!!

Wasn't it though? Effectively a ten goal win.  Put them away early and didn't give them a sniff. Feel for the Melbourne boys though. They were inept.

Are they going to blame the 4 day break?

This was line in the sand stuff

Almost threw up every time I heard it. They had a 5 day break and a cross country trip.


Only positive I can come up with is that I got some good stats from Boak & Wines in my Ultimate Footy side....  

Laziness is the key thing I take from today's game. Goodwin should be giving the whole squad a massive rocket for just being plain lazy from the first bounce. Petracca seemed to be trying but couldn't get anything to work. Sparrow had a go, Lockhart tried. Hibberd and Lever seemed to be trying but were caught out too often. Pickett and Jackson excused for their inexoerience. The rest of them can get [censored].

 

I truly wish I never got into footy as a youngster, I really could’ve done without the misery this club has put me through over the years

  • 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.
