I've been impressed with Dunstan's ability to find handball targets under pressure.

     Haymes special this week, all the points. Better off happening now and not in a final.

    Too many selfish shots on goal

    It’s (selfishness) starting to creep back in. I think the lads were a tad happy with themselves coming into this game.

    Jeez Weideman would want to do something decent in the last.

    Surely he doesn't have many goat photos left?

    I've been watching closely and his half hearted leads are doing him no favours

    Not sure you can blame Weid with the ball coming in. It's been atrocious. And he still has two and has competed strongly in the air. 

    Smith a liability defensively. No time for him whatsoever. 

    Has Weid taken a mark?

    This game should be well and truly over by now. 

    Should have been done and dusted at half time.

    Our second quarters continue to be NQR so far but i blame most of that on our play forward of center and lack of poise / forward craft coming inside 50 and inside 50 itself.

    Brown - 10 disposals (6 handballs), 1 goal

    I am waiting for someone to say he's got 2 goals so he's one of our best

    2 straight. He’s an outlier tonight.

    He's kicked more than BBB at this point and everything into the forward line has been terrible.

    Give him a break!

    Melbourne just have so much more run than Richmond late in the game. 
    I am convinced that our game plan is to accelerate our work rate gradually throughout the game.

    • 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.
