    Would have to say as much as i love Sparrow on tonight's first half we def need Harmes to come straight in for him.

    Sparrow would need to have some second half to justify his place in this team from here.

    Does anybody notice how, just like last year, every team we play against knows they have a chance of winning if they just work hard. We were average against the WAFL Eagles, destroyed by the bombers and getting shown up again today.

    Still confident that we will get up and win this game but by hell these umpires are absolutely terrible

    This is an insipid performance. We have a lot of defensive structure problems with and without the ball. 

    Right now we are not a top 8 side. Something stinks about this side atm.

    Our tall forward stocks are in tatters. We have a few promising kids for the future, but for the now while we’re in our premiership window, it’s dire.

    BBrown body is cooked.

    Tmac body is cooked.

    JVR is not ready.

    Schache is a depth player.

    Jefferson isn’t ready.

    Petty isn’t a forward.

    If we don't lift our tackling and chasing effort considerably in the second half we're done for. Too many players are playing bruise free footy, looking to smother and corral instead of tackling.

    KOZZY - please give us the magic in the 2nd half 

    JVR -deer in headlights. But BBB and TMCD also very uninspiring.  Schache not quite tough enough but probably gets a shot soon.

    JVR is being out-bodied too easily. Needs to get on his bike and move Balta around.. 

    I’m not sure sitting the ball on a 19 year old kids head is setting him up for success.

    We've gone back to kicking and hoping

    Even if we get up and win from here, we’ve got some serious issues on every line now basically. Our midfield contest work needs to be fixed asap. It’s our one wood, so we need to stop losing it there as a starting point!

    Who’s idea was it to have 4 gamer lead our forward line tonight on the big stage?

    Yep..  BBb (assuming fully fit) wouldve been been a slight step up &  target/option.

    JVR needs to do some more work at Casey for a while

    I know he’s young and inexperienced and a lot on here love him, but JVR has shown nothing. 

    How can you expect him to show anything when his forward partner in crime is a CHB.

    Another game where selection was woeful. Should have brought in the natural forward target in Schache as the extra tall target.

    JVR is playing on Richmond's best Defender.

    This is on Goody.

    It's a worry. Maybe Tomlinson?

    Deck chairs on the Titanic. 

    But I'm glad Tmac was dropped.

    Conveniently missed too

    Richmond average 75 points a game and have 52 to half time.

    Ok the van Rooyen experiment is over

    Granted he has been slow and clumsy so far tonight but he's still a youngster on a steep learning curve. Hasn't worked out yet how to time a run to provide a lead or find space like Fritsch does. Far too early to just write him off.

    • 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.
