Yellow ....are sorting it out for them. As always. 

Sorry but Max has turned really dumb this season with ball in hand in open field. 

He needs to get that handball off quickly or alternatively just bomb long up the line.  He is too slow to decide, too slow to execute.  Does he even remember he's 6' 8" or so?

    At least three goals turnover due directly to corrupted umpiring.

    You can see who the AFL want in the finals. 
     

    What a disgrace of an organization you are running Gil.

    Honestly if Goodwin stays on, and I hope he doesn’t, he has to come up with a way for us to win games when we aren’t dominating clearances. You can see the decline directly correlate in this quarter to GWS winning clearances. It’s an absolute joke.

    We were struggling all quarter with clearances and CPs. Our first quarter dominance disappeared.

    We defended well for the first 3/4 of that quarter but from the Lever turnover onwards we just couldn't stop them.

    Had our chances (Fritsch's late miss and ANB's infuriating failure to run closer to goal before kicking) but if we don't get back on top in the middle we won't win.

    Jetta is so unbelievably cooked.
    I really want him to stay at the club in an off field role, but his playing days are way past him. 

    Lockhart should have come in. Jetta has been cooked since last year.

    Goodwin should pull the lads out of this game. Make a stand. This happens to us too often. I'd like to see us make a protest about the umpiring and just stay in the sheds.

    Viney trying to break 8 tackles in one play over and over. It happens every game. Its dumb football.

    Lever has cost us 2 goals with inexcusable clangers.

    And two first round draft picks. Absolutely reamed.

    I can’t stand channel 7. I hope someone else wins the next TV bid. The commentators are just embarrassing, and clearly haven’t watched much footy in 2020.

    Viney never takes the first option , he has to trust his team mates.

    He's having a bit of a shocker tonight.  Just the four touches and he's been caught twice holding the ball.  One of the main senior players who needs to lift.

    Just now, Brownie said:

    How many set shots has he missed this year?

    It’s the MFC way. Take someone who is great at something and change it. Pickett looked like a great set shot when he got to the club also but our coaching staff have obviously tinkered with the routine 

    Daisy Thomas on those Pointsbet ads is excruciatingly bad. It’s like watching a crap Year 9 drama student.

    Yep that too

    We absolutely stink when the slightest bit of pressure is put on us. Lose a few clearances and watch a lead go down the toilet.

    Yeah better than last week, still not convinced.

    He's a poor drop punt set shot. Can only do around the body 

    98% of crowd is red and blue though

     

    Good vibes

    • 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.
