Richmond only score from our mistakes 

It's not raining. I don't understand why we are making  these basic skills errors and fumbles.

    How many of those horrible short passes have we stuffed up? Really poor.

    Why are we continuing to try and hit short targets coming through the middle?

    Go long and strong to the 50 and put then under pressure one v one.

    We don't have enough players skilled  enough by foot to keep doing this and there's no reason to anyway.  It's not like they have a run on and we need to arrest momentum etc.

    Crazy stuff.

    The transistion is way too slow.

    Run and gun Demons and give the forwards a chance!

    Yep. Aside from a bit of wind conditions are good.

    Yet we look like we're kicking a flat footy 

    We are making a very ordinary team look like a top 4 contender 


    This is so disappointing. We will get smoked by the cats and blues if we play anything like this. 

    We’re battling against a very poor Richmond side. 🤮

    Our kicking will forever ruin our lives. It’s this teams fatal flaw

    Worst skills I’ve seen in 5 years

    Did you forget Brisbane a fortnight ago?


    Kozzy's kicking is right off.

    Missed so many chances to put it out in front and allow players to run on to it!

    Undisciplined team, it's the coaches

    Defence, marking, game plan all great. Kicking composure running at about 15%.

     

    Based on our efforts against Sydney and Brisbane, and now this - it’s very difficult to expect us to trouble anyone come finals.

    • 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.
