Why is it so congested in our forward line!

We move it slowly, so the blues flood back

As good a game as you will see as far as pressure goes.

 

History says we lose this.

Can he even jump?

Easily losing a ruck contest to Silvagni was quite telling

I mean he did play on because no-one was on the mark, he just happened to be out of bounds at the time

Cripps did it earlier. All G said ump.

We just need to limp across the line. This has been really, really hard. Blues are up and about as they should be, finals at stake, Paddy wants to be there. If we do not bring it this quarter we can forget about anything in September.

I am dead serious, another game we have led at every change. If we drop this then we clearly have a mental issue at play. We need to get over the line, the world of good that will do mentally.

Can we please try and activate Harmes in the last qtr for anyone of Fritsch, Spargo, Pickett or Sparrow.

What an [censored] and an expensive run onto the ground by that moron

Biggest cheer of the night 

Gap between our best and worst is too far. We look brilliant one moment and then nuff-nuffs the next. Apart from Melksham, our F50 play still lacks class. 

Jake Lever needs to stand up if we are going to win this.

Have not got vision

what was our kick out strategy with 50 seconds on the clock ?

Sparrow was dead set all by himself on the 50 in the corridor. FMD this kick in play is just infuriating. If you can my hit that kick with no pressure, what the f are you playing afl for. 

Everyone loves playing their best footy against us don't they?

Just quietly Lever has cost us 3 goals. 

He can panic at times, but love his courageousness and continually backing himself in. We could do with more of his self-belief.

We have a 2 day minus travel break on this mob, we seriously should be running over the top of them. No point peaking fitness in the last week of September if we aren't there

Not easy being defending champs. Come on Melbourne…just win this any way possible.

Gus is playing so well

Practically marking his own kicks.

And kicking them into the air without looking and most are turnovers.

You won't believe it. Long Down the line on the members wing.

Although that's the time to do it

  • 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.
