Why isn't there someone on the goal line.

That's just bloody laziness.

 

Terrible decision 

 

Getting embarrassing. Every single time they go forward they get a shot. Every single time the ball is in the air they contest it. They win almost every ground ball.  

This is comfortably an 8-9 goal loss atm. All that saves us is a North capitulation. 


I can’t see us turning this around. We look completely disinterested

    Salem having a pathetic game

    I've never seen him hack kick it so much.

    His disposal is usually so sweet

     

    Centre bounce landed outside the circle, with no opportunity for Roo to contest it. Play on clearance to the Roos.


    We've come into this game just thinking it's going to work out. You can tell by the loose disposals. We kicking/handballing like the target is just going to win the 1v1 against the north player. Show some respect or we're going to lose.

    Umpires need to stick to throwing the ball up. They have had a shocker.

    Chandler very poor.

    Do these players not realise they are playing for their finals spots?


    Good lord Harmes is a liability

    There's been quite a few land outside today.

    I don't understand why they persist with bounces. Just chuck it up


     

    Some proper ball movement there for the first time in the game and we get an easy contested mark. The Roos are not a good side, so as long as we're able to bring our level up to something halfway reasonable we'll still win.

    We have lifted but let's be honest we couldn't have got any worse 

    The way norf have just run around us has been embarrassing.

    Trac getting involved.

    Gus has been good.

    • 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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
