    We’re giving away some silly frees but equally not getting some big 50/50s. 

     

    Umpires blatantly cheating. We get these duds every week. 

    Gws leading with their heads. Why not umps r paying them.

     


    Disgusting umpiring. This always happens against GWS. They play dirty and the umpires are just rewarding them.

    This is a big test tonight for him, so far he’s failing. 

    He ain’t even trying anymore. 

    I don’t understand the unrealistic attempt rule if that wasn’t a free kick against Bobby Hill.


    Gutless umpire. That was a clear holding the ball.

    This one million times.

    Especially when the ball hits the ground and even more especially when it’s in our forward line.

    Umpiring been pretty rank. Great fight back, Dee's of the past would have rolled over when we went 3 goals down early in the first.

    Hopefully we can run over them in the last half

    Oliver is a petulant child. Lets hope he goes to Collingwood instead of petracca. 

    The umpiring is pathetic.

    GWS simply going harder and blocking any run by creating congestion.  Ugly game

    We know what they are planning to do to win, flood back. Now we need to continue to think it through and get the ball into the hands of Salem to pick through the flood.

    Being absolutely shagged by the umpires. Deadset.

    We are second to the ball every time, no one to blame but ourselves.

    Clear directive re the umps. Can't have AFLWS 0-3.

    We have Cats v Lions umpires. No surprise AFL live child getting a good run. 

     

    Keep smashing the ****bags out of this mob and attrition from injury might get us over the line. 
     

    Skill won’t.

    Also, we don’t understand the new (and excellent) man on the mark rule.

    We are taking kicks from marks and free kicks as if we are locked in certain directions when in reality we can kick any direction without worrying about the man on the mark (if we were smart).

    • 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.
