Chandler and Spargo are no goal sneaks.

I hope Kozzie doesn't get reported again.

He's let his mates down.

I know we don't have any options other than Schache but gee whiz it's been three years since Jackson left we replaced him with Grundy and then gave up.

Take a look at the bump. It was a ridiculous suspension. The only head high contact was their heads clashing.

    I wish Yze had of hung around for a tad longer 😏

    You don’t win premierships before labour day.

    The degree of fumbling at ground level is a huge concern. 

    I just don't think we're ready for the season at all.

    Grundy played well tonight but he isn’t half the player gawny has been over the journey

    Goodwin is a coach that can only deliver when everything goes his way unfortunately.

    Yeah I’ve been a Goodwin supporter for the last 2 years amongst all the criticism, but I’m starting to run out of arguments against that notion

    Classic example there.  Sparrow gathers... then fumbles.  Then Clarry over runs the ball.

    We need a new COACH

    Careful you can't say anything wrong about the premiership coach

    GRUNDY BOG NICE ONE MFC!

    We are easily the fumbliest team in the AFL

    ANB and Sparrow the biggest culprits.

    Grundy BOG 


    Where's the Grippo boys?  Fumble city

    S h it house performance.

    Absolutely 

    Gee, Grundy torched Max

    More worryingly, we can’t even handball to a target 5m away and yet the lizard is taking running bounces all over the ground.

    This team has an incredible ability to suck the life out of me

    Embarrassed by an under strength Swans outfit and skills shown up in the conditions.

    Not looking like top 8 material after this performance.

    And losing Bowey to injury. Just the start to the season we needed.

    Well maybe there's some truth in the narrative.

    We look awful for most of the night.

    Olivers not the same yet.

    Chandler .....when?

    Spargo...Gone backwards.

    Schache...I've said enough.

    Laurie....nup.

    Sydney have shown what we lack.....players who can mark inside fifty.

    Sparrow...never seems to go next level.

    Windsor...first game.

    Lever...looked rusty.

    Max....a bad night.

    Jvr......quiet.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
