What a shame we didn't take our chances.

We are still in it.

Billings off. Laurie on. Come on Goody make a change.

    i know you don't like goodwin but this is 100% on the players

    The Goody bashing is beyond tiresome

    Mate coaches have to develop players, it's been 3 years of the same BS. If it's just the players then why don't we do a better recruiting and bring some quality kicks.

    That’s huge. As Billings is a liability. 


    Will that knee to Gawns head get looked at.  It bloody well should !!!

    Inability to take our chances in high pressure games is a serious trend.

    I think less time making funny content for the gram, more kicking practice and a real forward coach. Goalkicking will cost us this.

    Agree this is on the players but Goodwin has still butchered this list with his outdated game plan


    Geelong played all over us in that last 15 mins. They will win easy. 

    Expected score...

    Melbourne - 67

    Geelong - 36

    How depressing.

    My kingdom for a KF who can clunk the odd pack mark and kick straight or around the corner goals like shelling peas


    Are you allowed to knee someone in the head in the ruck? You’re not marking the ball

    They’re going through the middle too easily now. Rohan coming on for them has had a big impact 

    I do feel we've spent a lot of petrol tickets but it is still a game and we're in it.

    Our defence is terrible at times

    We can't kick straight.  That's more of a problem than our defence

    • 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.
