    He's had as many kicks as me today

    Can we swap him for Moore?

    I feel numb. I sorta expected us to drop this so I’m not surprised. We look flat and uninspired. Our tackling and defensive pressure is non existent. Collingwood playing exactly how they want. Old Sidebottom giving us a footy lesson.

    First time for the season we’ve been behind at three quarter time. 

    We clearly lifted but yet again didn’t score enough from our ample inside 50s. 

    Let’s see if we spent all our tickets in that quarter or if we’ve got something left.

    You just know Clarry ain't kicking a set shot

    Has he kicked a set shot this season?

    WHY DO WE ALWAYS KICK IT SO WIDE?!?!

    I think we're doing it deliberately today to find space. But that kick from Gawn into the pocket for Pickett was nonsense

    Oliver and Trac need to just play some basic footy. Weed let just get Brown in and leave him there. There is absolutely no physical presence. Zero

    Good lift in intensity that Q. Gawn was very good. 

    we will win this we need to look at that first half.

    its almost like we feel sorry for Buckley, want to give him a win to send him off. God I was hoping for a smashing like what they used to do to us. FFS

    Free kicks currently 20-10 our way. Might be a difficult last quarter when the umps see the count and start throwing around the evener-uppers.

    Still think we can win.

    So obviously a much better quarter, but for me we seem to have gone back to trying to do too much. Taking on tacklers when there is isn’t the space, Trac and Oliver have probably been the biggest offenders at this. 

    That said the players have definitely lifted, if we keep the intensity from that quarter going we should overrun them. Game is in the balance, first goal important.

    I would be shocked if we spent all our tickets on that quarter. We barely got going.

    Pull your [censored] finger out Demons. Playing lazy footy all day,second to the ball around the contest, no run off half back, no pressure inside 50. It's been a very frustrating performance today.

    Think its going down to the wire. Hopefully it goes our way, wpuld love to just get the win and get out of here.

    Hard to argue with you there considering we have a bye next week

  • Quote

    would Oliver and petracca just get the ball moving forward instead of trying to side step every bloody time and getting caught? Frustrating and costly. 

    Also, Tom McDonald, you're dead to me. 2 easy misses.

    At least the tempo was up that quarter but a few trying to do too much and a few who may as well not be out there, Just need to read the front of their MND Beanie and follow what it says on the front and we should still sneak home. Please play Jackson in ruck for the majority this quarter we just look better with him in there today,

    Agreed. If we escape with the 4 points we can bin this match and move on.

    • 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.
