Can we seriously buy a free kick??

Only in the back 50. Nowhere else.

 

Really got mozzed with the injury list talk this week.

 

First rule of Fight Club: Don't talk about the injury list

    We clearly got ahead of ourselves before tonight. Both fans and players. I can take losing tonight at this stage, at this stage all I want is that Max isn’t gone for the season. Please please don’t be an worst case scenario 

    Really?  How about outplayed, as well as maybe being shellshocked at losing our best player early in the game?

    Oliver and Petracca on the bench together, they have both been average but that is odd to have them off at the same time.

    Petty having a shocker

    With a lot of company I'm afraid.

    Sloppy, losing clearances big time.  Half the boys up forward have barely touched the pill.

    The worry for me is the structure, lack of big man impact.  Kicking down the line too often.  Not ogranised or clean in the middle (fumbles... not many first touch clearances) and some seriously dumb footy.

    The good...

    Sparrow, Lingers, Rick, Chandler, BBB (best of an ordinary bunch of forwards so far), Harmes (getting to the right spots but disposal too often smothered or goes nowhere), McVee

    The Bad...

    Max going down with a bruised knee

    Grundy's ability to find a Lion

    Clarry kicking's

    Viney's kicking

    Tracc's kicking

    The ugly...

    Nibbler's game

    Tracc's game

    Gus's game

     

     


    Saprgo knows how to win a head high free kick

    Need to try anything other than the long bomb forward - just isn't working.

    Why can we do it at training but in a game it all goes out the wimdow??

     

    This game just looks like it’s gonna peter out without much else happening.

    Do something to change the state of the game. Come on Goody, come on anyone. Our inability to change mid course continues to be a problem.

    • 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.
