Did Marlion hit him in the guts or the hand?

Guts

 

Would love to see Cripps get called for throwing as much as Oliver.

On the plus side Clarry's hand and touch looking much better.

Yep, he’s been very sharp early.

He’s a much better version when the hands are firing

    Need more from our mids. Trac has started poorly, a couple of poor turn overs from Oliver too.

    Do we look as putrid on telly as we do at the ground. Where is our pressure? Our skills? 

    Petracca is having another mere, very ordinary season so far.

    Why? We have midfield names that should strike fear. Instead we're constantly on the defensive. I think it's part of the gameplan but it's garbage and will fail in finals again.

    You gotta ride the waves of the game. We will win by 40+. Tigers giving it everything after being embarrassed

    Very much so.  Quite common after a buy early on but the question is can they clean things up AND get some run and finish happening.

    I think Oliver's hand is not fully healed yet. You can see he is not as clean on ground ball gets.

    Needs to lift. Should kick but handballs too players under pressure. Too soft in the contest right now. Needs 240 volts.  

    I know it's early and we've missed a few but we have to be better than this. That unpressured kick from Viney straight to a tigers player was strange. We seen to be making quite a few unforced errors. Our backline as usual has been good but it's our midfielders not dominating again. We look lacking in confidence and intensity somewhat.

    Marlon Pickett is a criminal and shouldn't be allowed an AFL contract. Literal convicted criminal.

    And currently on bail for serious offences. 

    Lot of decent first efforts but then we have a lil rest and they sprint forward.

    I would really love if we could string together some chains and lift the level of footy, because it's not that enjoyable watching us butchering the ball against a weak side.

    Pulling out of marking contests, not sticking tackles, thought I caught a glimpse of him on the bench with trainers/doctors inspecting his hand


    These skills are simply putrid

    • 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?
