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

Betchya we don't get one of those gifts in front of goal

    Do you blokes bag the umps every week?

    we were 5-1 up on the frees at one point. Getting a good run

    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.

    Not sure how Goody can be happy with Max's forward work when he can't finish.

    More of the same that quarter unfortunately.

    No idea what they do at training, but it’s clearly not working on our forward connection. Just so predictable.

    This is going to script for all our losses. Plenty of inside 50s, a lot of effort for not much reward. I predict we'll get overrun in the 2nd half.

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

    😬

    Surely we run over the top of a team who played interstate last week. 2 days after us

    Max turning his back to goal really irritates me. Fritsch was in space, not the easiest kick to him but he never even saw it.

    There’s no need to pinpoint everything. This might sound counterintuitive but observe what Collingwood did last week. Gain territory and have a bit of confidence in the forwards to get into the right spot.

    Waiting till things get clogged up again will stuff us.

    Frees:  Melbourne 7  Carlton 4.  But let's blame the umps, hey?

    Agreed. The umpiring has been fine. 


    Defence and pressure solid. Good start

    need to inject some flair now


    My head is starting to hurt.

    Gee they really needed to review that?

     

    I've said it b4 and will keep doing it

     

     

    Make Kozzie our goal kicking coach.

     

    He can't miss.

    I think we will win this easy. When we've been losing we've been letting oppos score heavily early. We've tightened up defensively all over and will grind them into the ground throughout the game.

     

     

     

     

    Hopefully...

    • 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.
