    In my 100% honest opinion I'd say we are a 10th place side. A perfectly average team. Nothing more, nothing less. 

    I’d argue less.

    Surely a Bedford couldn't do worse.

    But it really is like switching witches hats at the moment.  We don't really have anyone better than ANB in the magoos right now.

    but could he play whatever ahem role Brayshaw is currently not playing very well?

    Tracc has had two times he should have kicked for goal from 55, went for the pass and stuffed both up. 
    He’s had 7 touches and I know he’s not on his own, but Dusty he ain’t. 

    He's been quiet these last couple of games.


    One of my daughters, a keen Harry Potter fan, reckons the umps are under the Imperius Curse. A few Snape-like Crows fans with wands in the crowd, shouting ‘imperio’! As good a theory as any.

    Adelaide are absolute puss. They are easily the poorest team in the competition right now and we’re just fluffing around  with it. If we don’t come out with some killer instinct in the second half and put this game to bed, this game and season is dead.

    Yep, we have the players to just run right through these soft clowns but they just aren't really interested.

    I expect no likes ...because most of you guys would be happy for the big H to fail.

    Not me

    I'm not happy to see any Melbourne player fail.

    However, the bloke looks very, very timid tonight.  He needs to lift the urgency and contribute more.

    Brayshaw is like the kid who's old man drags to play footy and he's picking the daisy's from the grass.

    Doesn't give a phark.

    Yeah the umpiring sucks.

    But let's talk about us.

    We suck more.

    We're barely up in CPs and down in clearances to the 0-9 basket case whose biggest weakness is their midfield.

    Gawn isn't dominating hit outs, so maybe that's impacted our ability to get on top in the middle. Who knows.

    I can't stand vandenBerg's OTT faux aggression. His free reversal is inexcusable.

    ANB and Bennell are giving us nothing, and without Hannan and Pickett we have no forward 50 pressure.

    And WHY is Brayshaw playing? 4 touches, spending time on the bench. I just don't get it. What is the point?

    I think most on here could play the role Gus is playing right now.  I'd be a chance of getting four touches to half time.

    Stoppage clearance 13 to 8

    And people still rate our mids? 

    Im rating JV.

    Trac having a bad night.


    We would struggle to get a third round pick for Brayshaw at the moment.

    3rd in the Brownlow two years ago. How in the...

    Goody pre match presser where improving and he has a plan for a premiership. There are more than half this side that are not AFL standard. It is so sad after seven years of a rebuild where back where we started. 

    How's this for a number:

    11 of our 'players" have had less than 5 disposals.

    Bennell 1.

    Are they actually doing any training while in these hubs? Or is it all golf and surfing? Skills are deplorable.

    We're seeing two bottom 3 or 4 teams tonight. It is depressing how terrible we've become.

    Crowns have 9 changes and multiple first gamers. Mind you we have an almost pristine injury list. This is the worst Crows side in their history and comfortably the weakest list in the league atm.

    And yet we are staring down the barrel of a loss.

    Unforgivable.

    Yeah, "Dermie what would you.do facing this young fella Jackson in the ruck right now. Well I'd lead with the knee and make him earn it."

    True, but at least I won't have to watch that [censored] Ben Brown do it.  I couldn't handle that.

    Team responding to criticism not with skill and commitment but with cheap shots.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
