It really frustrates me how McDonald and Tomlinson can get games ahead of Petty and Mitch Brown

    Vandenberg, Jetta and McDonald.  We are in huge trouble if these guys are playing this year. Have looked incredibly slow and way past it now.

    How true I would also put in Jones in there.

    Understand we have some personel issues today, but there are some serious alarm bells ringing.

    Our distribution out of the back half is terrible. We look so slow with our movement. Clearance work no existent.

    Yze would be fine tuning his Ideas for mid season i reckon.

    Our depth is appealing. 4-5 injuries later in the season and we may as well call it a day


    "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." (Quote from another post).

    Thanks for reminding me why I blocked you Elegt. You're a beauty.

    honestly, the free kick differential is neither here nor there for mine - they have simply wanted it more, got to the front position, and worked far harder defensively

    Our youth/depth is appalling. A few injuries and we need to rely on Jordan, Chandler and Baker

    We have plenty of areas to improve and no need to worry which or any of our recruits will be in the round 1 side 

    glad it’s March!!

    BIt rich when it happens in nearly every game, every year, and remarkably winning or losing.

    Bring em back to reality , says AFLeas....

    Nice kick Maxy. I was expecting him to shank it.

    Great clubs have depth and cover outs.

    We cant.

    They also wield the axe when necessary.

    We dont.

     

    Have to agree with this. Tomlinson should have been dropped (more than he was) last year. Jetta is now done and Tom McDonald is no longer good enough.

    If we think Laurie may be the answer at HB, play him in the practice match instead of Jetta. If we want to see where Petty is at, play him ahead of Adam 'The Statue' Tomlinson today. Want to see if Mitch Brown is a better option than McDonald with the faster pace? Play him

    Fritta and Anb good the other end.

    • 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.
