Lions coaching staff knew it. 
Dogs coaching staff knew it. 
Goody can’t figure it out. 

He knew it during our last final.

How could that possibly not be a 50 to McVee.  He was on the ground after being paid the free and the Swan went for him .  Poor indecision.

    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?!

    Because he had to do it all himself. He’s been an absolute warrior. 
     

    Look to Laurie, Sparrow etc who have given him zero support.

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

    Or just get inside 50

    Game over. What a waste of time.

    So who do we have fit in the VFL to come in next week?

    Outs in Laurie, Chandler, Spargo.

    That might be it.

    The learnings are the same.

    No big fwd who can kick goals.

    I hope Bbb can get back to something.

     

    Wait for the "learnings" speech by our premiership coach post game.

    Nup Max is just off.

    Maybe, can’t deny Grundy hasn’t deliberately contributed to that. He’s followed the same pattern all game and Horse is a waaaayyyyy better game day coach that Goodwin.

    Lot of people here mocked Grundy and called him a plodder. 

    has smashed maxy tonight. And been very very handy.

    can we get him??

    Haven't found players by foot most of the night.

    Too many panic up and under kicks.

    No run & carry.

    Too many dropped marks and fumbles.

    Sydney has ruled the ground ball and more sure by hand when they get hold of it

    As have our midfield and forward line.

    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.

    Well done goody Grundy is valued at the swans 

    Yeah because he's the number 1 ruck. Plus it's the perfect ground for him.

    Or "best" players have been in and out in patches  , bottom 6-8 players just not AFL standard tonight some probably never

    This has been very disappointing against a side missing their best mids. Same issues as far as I can see, lack of forward connection, poor disposal by foot and overuse of the handball. Windsor has done well in his first game.

    Oh please. He didn’t turn in one effort half as good for us. That’s not anyone’s fault but his.

    • 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.
