This thread reminds me of the Game Day thread - a pervading negativity that makes it hard to read.

I just watched a fantastic game of footy with a big group of friends - desperately hoping the Pies would lose. Alas - they were genuinely too good.

Life is too short to harbour bitterness - we should be enjoying the fact that we have a team genuinely capable of winning a flag over the next 2-3 years. 

I've spent my life focussing on the positives while our team have been awful. I want to keeo doing that while we are good.

I back Goodwin in, our fitness staff, our recruiters and our development coaches, and of course our players. We are three years running top 4, and have a Cup on the shelf. 

Go Dees 

 

I applaud your positivity. But perhaps you should read the room 😂

The other issue is discipline. That can be fixed. Kozzie - don’t give away a free when Joel Smith is about to kick for goal. JVR - don’t stick out the elbow. If we had JVR against Carlton, we would have been better.

Discipline is the right word, thank you. I agree that can be taught and learned over the summer. Let’s hope!!

Gee they don't mess around. Next years flag odd just went up. Pies and Lions joint favs at $6 and we are just behind them at $7. 

Biggest controversy since hot cross buns for sale on Boxing day.

the cheering of Maynard will make me want to murder someone 

Maynard was booed most of the time 

Do you just make stuff up 

Try growing up instead

Our boys spent A LOT of time practicing goal kicking last summer. Brodie Grundy mentioned it on the Demonland podcast. Sadly, the pressure cauldron of finals football can’t be replicated and we just need to wait 12 months to hope it doesn’t happen again (assuming we’re good enough). 

Set shot kicking wasn’t the issue though. The issue was rushing ‘in play’ shots. We lacked composure.

 

I despise Collingwood but their defending in their back 50 in the last qtr won them all three finals and the flag. 

Something to be learnt about backing in your defenders as opposed to pressing so high up that you defend well but can’t score on the counter.

Fair enough, just save a prayer for those poor Lions fans.

I was at the game pal  and you're wrong.

Of course Pies cheered their own buywhat was striking was the boos


I swear to god if we are drawn to play Collingwood R1 & they unfurl there flag against us I'll absolutely be furious and spew up.

Uhm… Dub made the cheering Maynard comment BEFORE the game even started. He didn’t know Maynard was gonna be booed.

Why are you telling Dub to grow up and accusing him of making stuff up? You know, there’s other much more pleasant ways of getting attention. You don’t have to be belligerent.

I thought they were awesome to be honest.

Paul Stanley mimed all the vocals. His mic was left on so that his comical-rock-interjections between lines came through, helping create the illusion of a live vocal performance. 

Music was all backing track. 
 

So the AFL spent $2m on four dudes to turn up, put on some make-up and slightly-wiggle about for a few minutes  

It’s a [censored] joke, and not one with a terribly-good punchline.

Put 'em on sale now I'm hankering for one.

I agree with that, but that doesn’t explain the set shot misses. Like Fritter’s out on the full and Maxy missing from 25 out. I know they can’t all go in, but it was not all rushed in play shots.

On the box it was different. Maynard was cheered for god knows…..

Are you serious? You’re telling folks to grow up left right and centre. I think someone does need to grow up, but it isn’t the people to whom you’re replying. 😉

    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.

    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?
