Richmond asked us a few big questions in that quarter and we had the answers. We will get to ask a few questions of our own before this game is done.....

 

We are fumbling, nervous, dropping easy chest marks and over handballing early in the qtr. it looked nigh on game over.

We settled somewhat, but they need to stay composed and focused, not worry about the grubbiness or all that crud and play our football and see if they can best it. Early on we are playing on their terms.

Mustchange that if we are to have any chance.

Huge crowd would take a while to settle.....some of our guys wouldnt have ever seen a crowd like this considering covid last year...

Jeez Richmond applied some serious heat - we stood up pretty well in the end

Hoping our fitness can see us going the distance. They really seemed to have a lot at contest after contest that quarter.

Richmond are sneaky bastards. Always with the sly dig in every contest.

Agree. They always like to sneaky punch, knee or elbow

Our centre clearances are always woeful, we get cut up on the outside of!the centre circle.

Richmond threw everything at us, we responded. That amount of pressure last year we would be 6 goals down. 

Let's keep it going, finals like pressure tonight!!

And Spargo tackle on Houli ?

ANB, you lack intestinal fortitude and that is the kind way of saying that.


Take that quarter. Got jumped early with an @$$y Riewoldt goal and then a turnover and hack kick goal. Richmond will nail us on turnovers if we cough it up. However they will run out of puff if we hold possession and make them chase.

Jordan taking Dusty (mostly) in the middle...then Hibb when he drifts forward.  Viney playing a bit at HF

I think Not where it’s in the goal square !! 

If that's the best the Tigers have then they have nothing! 

We'll win this!


We REALLY need to stick or tackles.

Tigers are shaking them off.

Its an isolated shower....will stop soon

Got to stop the fumbling

They’re a pack of dirty snipers. Hope we get our [censored] together and run over the top of em


Didn’t even put dusty on his line. 
cheating [censored]

 

Kick it Viney!!!

Dusty holding - no call. FMD cheats

  • 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.
