[censored] imagine life as a Dockers fan and watching them play.

Spent my whole life as a melbourne supporter, I don't have to imagine.
And our gameplan while somewhat effective is ugly AF and a tough watch.
And that's if we're playing well.
Every game is a grind .... For me as well.
Goodwin is wasting the careers of our guns and the best big marketing opportunity we've had for 59yrs playing boring unattractive footy.
If this club wants to survive long term we've got to get bums on seats, eyes on TVs, which will excite and expand the membership base and create more lucrative sponsorships.
We've got to entertain the mob.
Not bore them to tears using a rugby union type maul for the gameplan.

There, I said it.
Rant Over.

    Is Tex Walker the most overly relied on player in the league? It feels like for a few years now, unless Tex has a good game, Adelaide won’t win.

    That was just amazing! What a finish, and finally Carlton is on the wrong side of a nail-biter. YAY 🥳

    Soz @No. 31!

     

     

     

    Except sooooo not soz it hurts 😂

    The Blues pooped on the Navy Blue bedsheets last night. Allowed a mediocre Crows team a lifeline for this season when we could have ripped out their black little Crom hearts. I hate the Crows! lol

    I was at a wedding last night and only was able to catch parts of it. Watched the last few minutes on my phone at the wedding reception 🤦‍♂️

    Will subject myself to the replay over morning coffee ... bitter tasting coffee ☕️😁

    Injuries are mounting and its a tough block in the fixture list coming up (GWS, Geelong, C'Wood, Dees & Swans away) ... will really test us ...

    You’re brave @No. 31

    I have a hard rule of never watching the replay of a loss.

    Is it getting worse over the years @Demon Dynasty? Mine is.

    No just last night QD.

    I worked out you have to turn battery option to 'unrestricted' in the Kayo app so it can permanently run at optimum in the background when your phone screen is shut down while streaming.

    Didnt help last night though.  I suspect a recent buggy update.  Will probably get fixed with next update.

    Well it wasn't a 50 point pasting (I would probably give that a miss), a close loss where we kicked 14 points, want to see what we did wrong (curses at the tv ... 😁).

    Carlton fans booing the umpires when they’ve had one less free for the game, but 4 goals from very questionable frees.

    My least favourite supporters by a mile.

    Collingwood supporters will boo that comment!

    Never mind the Blues losing to Adelaide… you have friends who plan a wedding in footy season? Harsh.

    Same here. I don’t watch any of the footy programs either. It frees up a ton of time for other things, such as sulking.

    Right now it feels like GWS, Port, Fremantle, Carlton and Geelong are all legitimate flag contenders.

    For whatever reason, IMO the jury's still out on Sydney. I can't shake their fortnight of a loss to Richmond then trailing West Coast for a half. But you can probably add them to the list.

    That's six sides before you get to Brisbane, Collingwood or us.

    It's a pretty strong year at the top, IMO.

    It doesn't help us that we have each of Brisbane, Collingwood, Port and Fremantle twice each.

    Don’t disagree about us. Just noting there’s a stack of clubs outside of us and last year’s grand finalists who appear legit this year.

    definitely

    other than the three stragglers down the bottom, it's a very even competition

    so much is reliant upon good luck with injury and being in good form when it counts

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
