How many goals do we gift in the last few seconds of quarters?

 This needs to be fixed in 2021. 

Yeah along with about 100 other things that happen every week under Goodwin

    Smith in the backline is a joke. Seriously. He has no idea. 

    The 2% chance we play finals, he has to not be there.

    If i was Woosha I'd put Joe in the ruck for the rest of the match. Really screw up his groin. That would be a great "F you!" to the bombers as he leaves

    Joel smith punching his fist just annoys me. Always a step too late

    Well that was one of the most woeful quarters of football I've ever seen. 

    Both teams just spinning their wheels and probably will be for the forseeable future.

    May giving Smith an absolute bake then.

    Good. As he should. He was [censored] asleep. He totally lost his opponent there. Inexcusable. 
    If Omac did that people would be calling for blood.

    The Smith experiment is over. He's absolutely not a backman, and I'm yet to be convinced he's a footballer at all. Athelete maybe, footballer no.

    playing a side that is demoralized, playing poorly and we still cannot put them away.

     

    Ugh another goal on the siren.

    Luckily we have a good lead. But we need to play like we did in that 2nd quarter. 

    Funny reading comments online from essendon fans that are saying how well mitch brown is playing and how essendon de listed him and they get stuck with daniher who has done nothing.

    • 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.
