Worst part about Tmacs performance is that Baku Khamis is playing on him and beating him

    We have never had a poor pre season to only go on and dominate the year.

    Beating the premiers not good enough for ya?

    Far out, bit less caffeine for some of you blokes I reckon.

    Harmes also cooked. Absolutely does no damage 

    Really disappointed with his game today. Was he supposed to be on Bont? Just no leadership by him in there.

    It’s a practice match right. Dogs seem intense compared with us.
     

    No use tagging the Bont. He’s going to be out with leather poisoning 


    Red and blue witches hats. 

     

    All signs point to Omg.

    Yea sure have stars out but all these blokes need to be able to play. Skills and intent missing by way too many.

    Tmac should probably hang up the boots as should a few of these umps.

    We’ve started with all the tenacity of a wet blanket. Midfield is absolutely getting destroyed and nice to see Bontempelli alone again. 

    I thought we learnt last year when he destroyed us. Without Clarry and JV, our midfield is struggling v Dogs. 

    Painful even for a practice game. Quite a few mids missing today but the ball movement and clearance work is still some of the worst in the comp. Its still hard to see what the intent really is and It seems the players feel the same way.

    Baker, sparrow, harmes, spargo,  Vandenberg are a big no from me. Depth is really really poor

    i know its a practice match and we have personnel missing but its not good signs. can't hit target cant hold tackles and wont chase hard enough

     

    One thing that hasn't changed 3 dees up for the same mark

     

    I know its early days but effort is effort

    The cream is very clearly rising to the top. They are destroying us in every aspect of the game. We look lost. 
    Our skills are woeful. Mark Williams has a lot of work.

    Hasnt been great but he chased more than many.

    Makes you wonder what our game plan is this year. Seeing absolutely nothing that resembles a game plan. Cattle aside we should have some form of game plan or we are cooked as soon as we cop a few injuries

    Ummmm.  He played a good 5 minute burst v Pies last year and kicked 3 goals ... then went missing for the rest of 2020. Surely hung on to a list spot by a whisker.

    What's this learning thing you speak of?

    Martin is a great pick up for them, can release English forward

    Can’t see anything in Baker or Jordon to make me think either will be a player. Yeah, a practice match but for mine, they don’t have it unfortunately.

    Remember when we traded him for SFA.

    • 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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
