    Fritta… ankle. Not good 

    FFS, let's just forfeit the season, regroup and recruit a frigging KPF.

    Isn’t everyone thrilled that we sell this game so that 800 people can see it in Alice Springs?

    It sucks.

    Another game where we are simply not making the most of our plentiful opportunities. So infuriating. 
    Petracca with simple goal kicking just letting us down time and time again. For such a talented player, it’s inexplicable.

    9 years in the system and sometimes it feels he is getting worse, really a shame.

    From most accurate team to least accurate team. It’s become a problem now and is costing us games. Need to bloody convert lads!

    Didn’t like Grundy stopping and appealing for a free when the ball was right there

    Was very poor.

    If Trac can’t convert then he should be kept away from the forward line, not spend more time there haha

    He’s just a bit awkward with everything he does, rarely takes the ball cleanly and takes too long to be able to dispose of the ball.

    She just said she’s not sure. Seems it must be bad because he didn’t want to talk much. She’ll update me and I’ll pass on whatever she tells me. 

    You would think Petracca would learn that dropping the footy from shoulder height will lead to inaccurate kicking. We teach the under 10s a low ball drop so I dunno how he has missed the message?!

    • 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.
