Yeah but Petty every single time finds a way to drag himself and his opponent to a one on one contest, just work with the space!

Because we have no one inside 50

We have dropped numerous marks inside 50

All the talk about this game on radio was how close it was going to be… MFC “hold my beer”

    Wow game over at qtr time. 
    We played like [censored]. Umps want this so badly and it ends up in a 5 goal to nil quarter 

    that was gross 

    HQ could not have the Brown Papers out of the 8. Ump 22 performing as asked.

    The footy world will be saying “here is the Melbourne underbelly again’

    Pathetic not to score

    Woeful through the middle.  Smashed in all clearance battles including around ground stoppages.

    And why would you rest Max for so long and allow the oppo to dominate further after giving up the first three goals early.

    Terrible coaching decision

    Can't play in wet / greasy conditions.

    In wet weather you need to move the +1 in defence into the middle or even add an extra winger in as well to even or outnumber around stoppage and start winning the contested battles.

    Leave it as is and it'll be the Blues how far.

    They are making a very ordinary team look like Premiers honestly.

     

    I guess Chris Scott was right. Geelong were off.

    Premiership teams don't get smacked around, let alone 3 times in the first 9 games.

    Watching that MCG grand final dream disappear.

    Game completely on Carlton's terms. May doesn't want to follow Curnow and wants to play goalkeeper. That's fine but Curnow is happy to get up the ground.

    Our I50s stink. Coming straight back out. Blues have setup well, matchups are perfect for them.


    They pull the trigger quickly because they know if they turn it over we will move it so slow on the rebound, we ain’t gonna hurt them.

    ANB back to his average I fear.

    Petracca .... Have no words

    Premierships are not won tonight. I think the effort is there. Few poor decisions. That's AFL

    Come back Deez

    we need to pull our finger out before this gets embarrassing.

    my office is infested with Carlton supporters. I won't be able to show face for a week if we cop a hiding


    It's literally Brisbane game all over.

    • 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.

      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.

      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?
