Dam now we have to find to 2 goals in z a row.

Do people realise Grundy is actually an AA ruckman? He's a smart footballer and a good one. They are talking him up like he's some new player

 

FFS

Where's the highly rated mid field tomight?  Woeful

    Gameplan is just stale on so many obvious fronts.

    We’re so predictable when we just don’t have to be 

    Yet, so many people will defend Simon to no end. Poor preparation is poor footy.

    Worst game by Gawn in a long time.

    Grundy has run into his space at every centre bounce blocking his ability to run. He by no means has won the contest between them but has nullified him in ruck contests.

    too many passengers 

    Viney vs the swans.

    That might be it.

    The learnings are the same.

    No big fwd who can kick goals.

    I hope Bbb can get back to something.

     

    What a disappointment this is turning into. Losing to a team missing it's two best midfielders and leaders. Some really stupid and lazy efforts tonight with players bashing into each other with no communication. 

    Two clear opportunities at centre clearances totally and utterly f###ed by senior players. Why Jack? Why are to trying to take the entire swans team on?!


    We don’t deserve this

    Gawn’s taken a bath, kicking into 50 the usual abomination, Laurie, and Schache confirmed list cloggers. Chandler hasn’t played an AFL standard game since round 9 last year.

    Oh you know when viney gets tackled like that we're stuffed

    He had the runner, why he’s taking them all on is beyond me.

    Nup Max is just off.

    Lots to be concerned about and little to enthuse. 

     

    less than 5 minutes to give the game away.

    zero changes from 2023 to 2024.

    watch all the ruckman play Gawn this way for the remainder of the season. 

    sad, really

    • 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.
