No the Bears have been great

Disagree we looked so sluggish from the start.

We are lost our there

12 mins to go and Petty hasn't had one touch.

Disgraceful.

Good on you Lever 

We have been completely outplayed 

I give them credit 


Pack his bags, Petty join the rabble that is Adelaide.

 

Of course late in the back - not downfield.   Every 50/50 goes for the Braes.  NOT the reason we are being thrashed but doesn't help the cause.

    Petty zero disposals. Just go away.

    He’s not a competitor 

    If you’re going to have just one disposal for the night, maybe make it a goal…

    All I'll say I'd that 3 games in 13 days is showing. Banged up players ready for the bye. Won't pot the players but looking for a big response on Anzac eve


    I am going to have a very grumpy weekend. Even the goals video will only go for 1 minute. So few highlights.

    Genuine question, is 3 games in 13 days a reasonable excuse?

    Yeah let grab hold of that excuse

    Nope, they had 7 days to test before tonight.


    Petty has been average for a while now. Definitely has his foot out the door. Typical body language and performance for an average player that's gone. 

    Not surprising loss. Brisbane is good and we look stuffed. Margin minimisation now.

     

    7 goals in 9 minutes - never give up 🙄

    • 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.
