I've been really disappointed in our younger players. None of them look up to it unfortunately. Who picks these blokes ?

 

Spargo would struggle to get a kick at vfl

The young kids look like....um young kids. Not everyone is Clayton Oliver in their first 10 games.

    Unless I read it wrong, Kozzie played this morning in the middle mainly, and didnt get much of a touch.

    But looked promising, dangerous,  threatening etc etc. Same old

    Has made a few blues, but he is yet to debut at AFL level and he is improving as the game goes on.

    He is also up against arguably the best midfield in the AFL.

    Simpleton comment.  

    He looks no where near it

    Leading possessions for us at half time 

    Never would have guessed, he hasn’t been anywhere near influencing the game.  

    Major differences in the way way we are playing the game compared to how we played against Doggies last year.   We are being bold from the Kick ins, often going long to around middle of the ground.  We are not getting sucked into contests like bees to a honey pot, we are holding our space and not giving them easy options. ANd we are without quite a few of our best players.  We are going to tear them apart this half with a fitter and disciplined young Melbourne team. Go Demons 100+points for the game!!

    It’s had to know what to make of this game. We lack our trademark intensity at the coalface, which is rectified by adding Viney and Oliver, and are lacking some class ball use and control - Salem. Im

    I am disappointed about the lack of forwards available. It’s been a glaring problem for 2 years and it’s the thing we need this time of year to work on the most.

    He was carried all last year. As was T MacDonald.


    More [censored] umpiring.

    How is that a free kick for English but not for May? ?

    You know the answer.

    • 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.
