I cannot watch this. We are horrible today so far!

Been horrible for weeks to be far. We play a brand of football to suit our lack of actual skill..but when heat is applied our girls completely melt

we didn;t melt last year though. i think its a hunger/mindset issue as much as anything else. 

We are genuinely [censored]. No structure or skill. What has happened?

If you’re Birch there do you reach for the hamstring, get a limp going as you head to the pine?

 

Bereft of ideas today unfortunately. 

Im with Deespencer, Birch is having a shocker. 


No goal in nearly 3 quarters of footy in perfect conditions?

Oh dear...

we're miles off. if north kicked straigh this would be a shellacking. i think we've been drinking our own bathwater.


What a disappointing display after such dominance early in the season.

Get [censored]

No crumbers, top heavy with weak pressure, poor entries and bad execution when they’ve had chances. 


Keeping the whole list was a mistake. Need to turn over 20% every season.

needs to be some honest conversations after this loss. Zero leadership or intent today.

Goldie, Hore and Hanks the only players with any credit from this debacle

Truly [censored] the bed today.

Would take a freak occurance in the final quarter to make this respectable, let alone steal an undeserved win.

Ugh.

 

Aside from Hanks and Goldrick, they've all been truly awful. A totally inept performance.

Any chance Bannan, Zanker or Harris can play in front, instead of waiting out the back?

Demons mens and womens teams start finals matches poorly We need to enlist John Northey to give pre match rouse up

    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?
