We need a quick response to remind the Doggies that they're not going to catch us.

Why are our players told to stand on mark but theirs aren’t - but they can stand within 5mtrs.

    Slow the last minute down. No break neck stuff this centre bounce.

    This has been a bad period started by Melksham not going hard enough for the loose ball and getting the deliberate call.

    I always regret having a sneaky peak at the Gameday thread.

    Demontime. Some things never change

     

    Good half but disappointing last minutes.

    Well Dogs right back in this thanks to 5 rubbish minutes of loose play. You cannot let off the Dogs even for 1 minute.

    Max mate... max.... 

     

    Take the mark, and walk straight backwards every time. Umps are waiting for you to look sideways before paying ‘Play On’

    What for? Being blocked off the ball… stop looking to make yourself look smart.

    Why was Max called to play on then, he went straight back. Suddenly rushed kick makes it hard.

    Max having another mare.  Go back from just outside 50 ...take some seconds off the clock.  Kick it inside 50 for a possible mark close to the boundary or just outside.  Instead goes to play on straight away putting himself and everyone else under pressure and allowing the Dogs another rebound and potential entry inside 50.  Thank Lucifer Gus was playing his role across HB!!

    I would have taken that half time score before the game. 

    Just regroup & get back to what we did right in the first quarter

    Our inability to kick on from five goal leads is painful.

    Against the best team in the comp?  Geez

    Geez the dogs are brilliant at the quick handball, but they really do get away with a few throws. It’s like the umpires are scared to call it due to how good they do handball

    Good half but still plenty of work to do. Let them back into it the last 10 minutes. Defensive key in the second half. Need to bring more heat

    • 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.
