Very sloppy from us and missing targets and goals. Hope this isn’t an indication of the season ahead.

    Watching on TV. Could see Trac on his haunches and looking a little bit uncomfortable early in this 2nd term and haven’t seen him since.
     

    Can anyone at the game see him?

    I mentioned that earlier. I just saw him back on the field on tv.

    We are like a set of 18 candles on a birthday cake, I blow and we all go out!


    We are bursting from half back but then trying to pick out insane long options, the idea of moving it quicker from half back is you have more space and time when you do get in the front half.

    The number of times we’ve burnt free options at half forward that would’ve then wheeled in to open 50’s have been astronomical.

    First 20 minutes we hit up all the half forwards 

     

    Our kicking and decision making is sub VFL-2nds level today.

    Could only assume they’ve shunned ball-work for running in the off-season but we’re getting run off our feet so that can’t be it.

    This is probably the closet Blake Howes gets to afl level any time soon

    i'd just like to see no injuries tbh

    I agree with you though, there are some bad signs.

    But, Koz looks good on the ball, just needs to clean up some disposal. Billings looks like a handy pick up. Roo looks rady to take the next step.

    But yes, careless turnovers will the ball are making us look second rate. And that is a big worry. But a lot of them are happening from the younger brigade.

    Balta gets pushed in the back have another shot at goal 

    Not much love from the maggots

    Make that 10 goals in a row from the tigers. That’s bad whether it’s preseason, scratch match or in season.

    Bad decision making, bad kicking, bad turnovers and no pressure when the Tiges are in transition 

    Not the start we were hoping for after all the noise in the off season

    No Oliver no Dees! Our training form elite, our match form shizzen

    Fair summary 

    What’s happened to Windsor? I’m still waiting on my digital membership code to come through? Sounds like they’re doing me a favour not sending it through…..

    • 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.
