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

Head was going side to side like a sideshow clown looking for a ping pong ball

Should've just been watching English and avoided the block

 

Gawn, Jackson, Weiderman,  Hunt have all been pathetic.  

Both Weideman and Jackson are simply giving us nothing up forward. Put in another performance that half and they can spend next week at Casey.

What's Hunts role exactly? Dead set witches hat having 1 disposal in a half of football playing in one of the easiest positions on the ground.

    Their only strength remains the freeballing, unpressured kick straight into the forward line, accompanied by semi-hidden throws. We have been stronger all over the ground. They take full advantage of every freed up moment they get.

    If Jackson or Weid could actually mark the ball, we win by 8 goals.


    It’s a game right now, don’t care about the score the Dogs have shown just how they can score and score quickly this year. I just feel if we’re getting half chances in the middle and winning the ball we’ve got to make them pay. We’ve also gotta force more contests and not have it pinging around like a pinball machine all the time. The key is to frustrate the dogs and tire them. Lock it in the forward line and get to work.

    Always take a 19 point lead going into half time against anyone, but against the dogs it’s very good. Couple of lapses gave them an in back into the game.

    Disappointing to give those two late goals back. Should be further in front. But they lifted that quarter and we still dominated for most of it. 

    Big third quarter coming up.

    How many marks is Weideman going to drop.

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

    Fair suck of the Saveriro Rocca mate...

    They're the top team... and a bloody good team too...

    That deliberate OOB where Harmes decided to basically shepherd the ball out was embarrassing. How can the kicking player be penalised for the the actions of the recipient?

    Our players are getting called to play on a lot quicker from marks than the Bulldogs are, Johannisen was allowed to stand 5mtrs off the line from where Melks had to stand the mark and took a good 10secs before kicking. ??‍♂️

    Geez the dogs are brilliant at the quick handball , throwing 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 

    Fixed it for you

    How good do we have to play to get the plaudits on here?

    Thought Weideman was a touch quiet that half with the one handball to his name.

    To his credit, he nearly got a goal with that handball. 

    Hunt needs a kick up the motivational cavity.

    So does gus.

    I think Sam will get dropped at his rate.

    5 mark attempts, has crashed packs... 5 could have stuck another night. Takes a forward from TMAC.... a range of things he is doing that doesn't quite count on the stats sheet...

    Hes too predictable. Even when it hits the ground he's [censored] useless.

    How silly of him trying to organise the defence, he should have just been selfish and focus on one bloke and made sure he didn’t get a block off the ball….. ok chief 

     

    We haven’t dropped off. It’s just that they’ve lifted in that second quarter.

    This is one of your worst. 

    You’re upset about us not kicking on from a 5 goal leas against the ladder leaders?

    • 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.
