What did Joel Smith do today?

I thought he was that big road train parked on the side of the field.

Let me guess we are the highest scoring side ....nup, the umpires.....nup, we are loading ......nup cannot wait for this explanation 

I thought after the Pies win we were back but then this. Hmmm.

Trac needs to spend Every day with goal practice.


Can’t question the effort. Execution disgraceful. Bottom 6 just aren’t good enough.
 

Was always going to come down to one piece of skill or luck - and they got it.

Played our Grand Final against Collingwood

What a dumb pack of big headed footballers, absolutely pathetic skill level & a bloody dumber football department selling the game

Wake up MFC your not that good

If anyone thinks Smith is AFL standard they don't know anything about football. Complete waste of space & let Haines run off him all game. Why Goodwin played him ahead of JVR is a disgrace. We will not make top 4 & will struggle to stay in the 8 at this rate.

And last game he let Stewart get Geelong over the line in the last qtr.

Ladies and Gentleman.

It was a good “era” while it lasted. But even with Oliver back. We aren’t doing any damage in September.

Too many passengers. The wet just makes it more obvious who they are.

 

ANB (I can’t defend this guy anymore)

Chandler should hav been dropped 2-3 weeks ago.

Smith- Isn’t the answer.

Melksham being picked as the sub shows how good our “depth” is. I couldn’t think of a worse player to have as the sub in these conditions.

Langdon- Having no impact.

Unfair on Langdon.

Rest spot on.


Even BinMan will have trouble explaining that last quarter. That's the worst quarter of football I've ever seen. I trust JVR will be back next week.

It’s almost like we keep losing the same way?? Like it could have been foreseen by somebody who is paid to learn such things? Or are we still learning them?

And fancy losing to GWS! A serious threat this year.

Ah well we’ll always have 2021. 

All 2021 did was make me want more and want it bad.

It is getting increasingly difficult to take positives from games that we dominate in every key stat, but lose with diabolical forward half play and frankly embarrassing goal kicking. 
 

Just admit we don’t have what it takes anymore, we can get all the inside 50s we want it won’t help with this fwd line 


Gawn not knowing what to do with his free kick was telling!! You're the captain. And there ain't no plan.

How the [censored] is Harmes, Chandler, and ANB getting games... Don't remember the last goal either 3 kicked.

It wouldn't be an unpopular position to put pressure on the coaching staff to fix this [censored] absurd field and goal-kicking or get sacked. 

I ask anyone who thinks that's an overreaction to actually think about what's happening. A team with a core group between 25-27 won a flag two years and now it's going to be 2 years of wasted potential because there is no pressure to fix such obvious floors.

Never met a team built more for contested footy suck so bad at wet weather footy.

Add Kozzie.

Goody is in dangerous territory of doing what Beverage has done to the dogs, keeps his job after a flag but then screws up a good list in a premiership window because he can't adapt a gamestyle or system that can actually win games of football. 

Said in post game last week that it is all talk with goody and that no tangible change will ever happen and he's proving me right, we can all see what is happening in front of us including him and yet it actually looks like we're getting worse. He'll talk about how that was the game we expected and GWS were good and that there are learnings to take from it, same thing over and over and we'll continue to lose the exact same way and continue to be inefficient entering the forward 50 and trying to convert, All talk zero walk. 

I cant wait 4 binman and the boys discuss this one !!!

Can keep spewing out all the stat's in thw world which say we should win, probably just need to look at results over last 6 weeks.

That stat tells me more !!!

Do love the podcast though 👌

He was looking for Salem or Rivers to run past. 
I think that we don’t know what we are doing going inside 50 and it shows.

The way we keep dominating statistically it shouldn't be. Many games that we should've won comfortably lost because we kick like a bunch of players with two left feet.

I know the conditions were slippery, but if that had been a match  between two struggling teams in the VFL, you would still have described Melbourne's forward line as pathetic. Brown past it, Smith below par, Melksham now just a journeyman, Langers and Hunter ineffective, Pickett charging about aimlessly, Harms a liability, Gawn-Grundy mix not working, and to cap off all the woeful goalkicking Viney missed a straight-forward set shot which would probably have sealed a win. Most of Bowey's teammates could have learned a lesson from the nuggety little guy on how to play wet-weather football.

Goodwin's attacking plan A: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

Goodwin's attacking plan B: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

Goodwin's attacking plan C: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

If Fritsch is out for an extended period, we are seriously in danger of missing finals altogether.

Let us pray Oliver is fit for next week.

  • 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.
