We have literally no chance of winning the flag if we keep playing like this.

    We must give more frees away for goal than any other clubs. Brown flopping around like a fish on the deck of a boat.

    One dimensional. Teams worked us out long ago now. Too late to implement a different game plan or get in good coaching now. Wasted year.

    Entries inside 50 atrocious as usual.

    Free against Gus was wrong. McKay kicked him in the leg. No tackle.

    JJ needs a spell, hasn't been right for weeks. High pressure game at the moment but it will open up in the second half. Hopefully in our favour.

    Clearly still loading.....

     

     

    P.S. we are in front 7-4 in free kicks.

    We need a forward line.

    Haven't come to play yet, hope Goody has a rocket for them. No lowering the eyes, expecting others to do the work, don't even know what the corridor is.

    Ben Brown can not mark a football. Runs under it 3/4 of the time and misses the other 1/4.

    1.2 from 13 inside 50 is pretty damning.  But we don’t have a forward connection problem of course, do we. 

    Brown needs to play in front, can't mark from behind and oppo give away free kicks when he's in front

    I know Langdon likes his wing but mix it Up. JJ ends up doing all the work taking hits, while Langdon racks up kms

    Playing like this, it doesn't matter where we finish up next week, we'll just be making up numbers. We keep kicking to the wing, but we have hardly anyone who can actually take a mark or kick the goal when they do, and we have Max who doesn't know where the goals are anymore. I hope they have written "buy a good for forward" and a proper forward coach on the whiteboard. 

    The window for "we'll come good" is getting smaller by the second.

    Ugh, what a waste.

    • 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.
