Beaten in the air, on the ground, in the ruck, down back. A really poor performance

Hunter needs a week off 

he's running harder than most

by that logic you'd drop oliver, too

Kozzie should have signed up again yesterday. 


This quarter alone has been such a let down, I expected a fierce response and it didn't happen.

    Problem is we never learn our lessons and drink our own bath water too much.

    JJ down over the ball and cleaned up high but apparently the bombers player wanted it more?

    Not a single bounce has gone our way. Forget it and move on.

    Should have put Gus on the middle earlier in the game when Oliver was being beaten.

    Gus was doing the first ever good defensive job of his life down back on Stringer. Tracc, Viney and the other mids had to lift

    It's worst than that. It exposes our fwd line issues. Having Max back will help but unless Bbb stars for the rest of the year we are in trouble.

    Exposes everything fwd back and mid

    This should’ve been a percentage building win against a loser club. Instead we’ve [censored] the bed and no one is putting their hand up to try and stem the tide. This has been a game lost by poor leadership and laziness. Our worst loss since 2019-2020.

    The zero response is deafening.

    The whole group needs to have a good look at themselves. Folded like a cheap suit tonight.

    Classic Melkdumb, use your preferred foot

    Look it's a bad performance but people need to get a grip.

    Collingwood lost to West Coast's seconds last year.

    Geelong were 3-2 after 5 rounds and 4-3 after 7 last year.

    Richmond similar in 2019.

    60% inside efficiency for Essendon is disgusting. That is terrible for the best defence in the league.

    • 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.

      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.
