@Deedubs Any more pearls of wisdom on how bad we are? I mean two games clear on top with fat percentage isn’t enough I reckon. Should be 12 games clear by now right? 

We haven't played anyone in the top 4 and only 2 of the top 8 teams. We have a very hard fixture coming home. 

I wouldn't have expected us to lose to WCE or North the last 2 weeks...so the last fortnight has taught us nothing other than we make every game a grind regardless of how bad the opponent is.

    Freo have 2 goals to half time. I can't see how they kick a winning score against us next week.

    You can only play who you are are fixtured against based on the results of the previous season, the bulldogs , essendon, richmond port adelaide and st kilda were all supposed to be contenders this year.

    Will do. But if we start dropping games against semi-decent teams regularly I'm going to keep people accountable for refusing to look at exposed form and sticking their head in the sand.

    We won by a combined 21 goals! Christ!

    There is nearly as much of a gap from us to second,  as there is from 2nd to 8th.  And people complain we aren't good enough 😒 😕 🙄

    It is strange times when you watch neutral games and find yourself barracking for the Hawks and the Pies. Am I in a parallel universe? I can't help it, but have the Solvol ready for ritual cleansing and a priest  for absolution.

    Last year showed that we clearly play better against top sides. We have played 2 sides currently in the 8 and beat them both comfortably. We also beat Hawks and GC who have given some top sides a real wake up call. 
    Bottom teams set themselves up to play us hard and it works for like a half. Top teams will play their own game, as the Saints did, and we will prove to be as good or better than them.

    Thank you for agreeing to give it a rest

    in the meantime we can deal with our exposed form of being 10-0

    You will be on the ignore button, so you can suit yourself. 
    I knew this year would be a grind. 
    This Club only learnt to win a Flag again last year, and now they are learning how to defend their achievements on the run, against 17 other opponents who all want to kill us

    So far we are 10-0

    i am proud of the boys 

    Right- Do you understand??

    now be quiet

    These are the gateway to barracking for Essendon. 🤮

    Yes, all of our unaccountability on this site is really going to have a big impact on our team’s performance.

    They are pretty much just being Freo… look the goods only to run out of puff mid season. I’m half expecting Brisbane to do the same.

    I'm not going to join the pile on of your view points...

    And, what's your take on Brisbane losing and thus their chances against us, as well as perhaps Freo, considering where the game is at currently.

    You are going to keep people accountable! My goodness you certainly have tickets.

    • 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.
