We’ll finish next year top 4 again and with any luck injury wise we’ll be a real chance again. Having no consistent forward structure is always going to be a big ask in September. We win everywhere else.  
 

I love following the Dee’s while we finish top 4 year after year, I’ll take this over the neeld era any day. Catch ya next year DL 

Will you feel the same if this group only deliver the 21 flag?

Honestly we need to expect better from this group, straight set exits don't cut it.

    Disgraceful waste of a season. Pickett’s poor discipline has cost us big time - what a joke he gets 800k per year. I never want to see TMac play in the senior side ever again. Get a new forward line coach ASAP. We are mentally soft and deserve to be called chokers. 

    Its definitely no where near 800k for Kozzy.

    Also, we sure have a lot of players that cannot keep their feet. You would thought they were playing on a ground they'd never set foot on.

    On a dry deck FMD 🤦🏻‍♂️

    You could just see what was going to happen that whole last quarter, chance after chance, miss after miss.

    Skills have digressed exponentially.

    Key Forward our No.1 target in the off season.

    Not going to point any fingers.

    Need a coaching panel clearout.

    Nothing went our way this year after Petty's injury.

    The Dees are the Greg Norman of football , chokers .  We need to get rid of some players BB ,T.Mac, Harmes , Jordon ,Schache , Grundy the most expensive back up ruckman in afl history and Goody , the reserves coach ,Richardson,Pert that's for starters .I would include the fitness coach . This club makes me sick.

    Don't forget the boot studder.

    In hindsight Petty going down injured can't be underestimated.

    Not to mention Melksham (the way he was playing) plus Brayshaw - compare Bayshaw's output to Jordan's. Then throw in the suspension to JVR.

    Whats everyones fav cost us the game moment. Kossies silly free in the first quarter, Gawns two misses or the goal he touched on the line. The ARC overturn that was not asked for. just to many to pick the one.

    May was massive. Sparrow in the last, very good. A wise man once told me never to email (but I’m going to apply to it posting in this case), when angry, upset or otherwise emotional, so I’m going to leave it at that. I’ll be back. 

    I just had a rant, feel better getting it off my chest. I regret nothing :D.

    Agree. Chuck in Hibberd or Grundy, schace or anyone in place of tmac in the last 25 mins and they would've offered something which is not than nothing we go from tmac

    Did Tmac have a touch in the last? He was beyond disgusting tonight.

    We said the same last year, bad luck... bad luck with I juries...

    I am.afraid this can scar psychologically the group.

    Lots of mental work to do in the offseason.

    They play like they're already scarred.

    Just put it in the context that while he had a poor finals series, Jack Viney carried us for a large portion of the season.

    Gawn was best on field last week and played his heart out tonight.

    There were a heap more reasons we lost tonight before you point the finger at the two hardest players in our club.

    Pull your head in.

    Vineys kick resulted in the winning goal for Carlton. Mind you he had time and space to kick better.

    The balance on the forward line was immediately ruined when Melksham went down. Who would of thought he'd be so key.

     So 96,000 is not a big crowd?

    I’m bullish on next year actually 

    I’m not at all unless Straight Sets Simon can get out of his own way and manage the list properly.

    Also as has been said many times before a total refocus on skills needs to happen.

    Too many slopppy players (Petracca and Hunter), poor kicking and just not doing the fundamentals well.

    Not having any talk about us being overrated.. we are the best side in it, should have won last week.

    This will be the flag we gave away.. mark my words, our biggest chance blown!

    We are not the best side in it 

    We have lost 4 Home Finals….

    Why did we give Schache another year if we can't trust him to outperform that last quarter of TMac? Embarrassing

    • 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.
