Kozzi, Salem, Viney all solid

we started to get our structure right in the last 7-8 mins

itll come. 

Brown needs to aggressively attack the ball not just wait for it. 

and we generally need to go in harder and win contested footy at stoppages

    It’s been horrid all round. AFL making a mess of the rules again with random interpretation changes mid season

    Well we had a chance to recruit McKay or Curnow, yet we decided to draft Weideman.

    Thanks for the history lesson 

    Eagles have done at least 4 incorrect disposals / throws not penalised.  
     

    And why do the umpires  try to coach?  If thee is a block, penalise it and the message will get through.

    Really think it's time to go past Ben Brown.  Hope he proves me wrong for the rest of the game but I think he is cooked.

    If the rest stopped kicking it behind him or over his head he’d look better

    A very useless comment to make 9 years down the track  🙄

    Not that far behind on the scoreboard and plenty of time left in this. We'll still win from here, but there are some serious problems we need to address if we're going to compete for a flag again this year and the next few. Our midfield has been horrible this year. Horrible. Our forward line doesn't have the right personnel, but the midfield does them no favors.

    Are you sure?

    Harley Reid alone could tear our midfield apart. Same old [censored], poor centre clearance.

    With all the supply their forwards are going to get it looks dire.

    Why do we lose first quarters so often.

    There is something wrong with our game prep for sure.

    The lazy kicky to players is killing us.

    Some of these blokes need a rocket up them  during the break.

    Salo first game back excellent.

    We don't deserve top 4, the way we are playing and the luck some of the other teams have (see Port and Collingwood). We will be lucky to play finals. 

    Unless things change drastically we are not a contender this season, simple as that.

    not simple as that at all

    3 weeks ago Giants and Cats were unbeatable and flag favourites 

    when we win this game we will be third


    For the life of me when will our club ever find a gun , even the bottom teams have better power fwds and our so called A grade mids look d grade

    I read your posts and I want to contact the boss of Guinness Book of World Records. If there's a record for relentlessly posting "we're doomed, we're doomed, don't you know we're doomed" posts, surely you've just surpassed it El Diatribe.

    Have you thought about one per quarter?

    I noticed Kossie leave the ground to bump high again early in that quarter. So much for learning his lesson. Very lucky he missed completely

    It mostly comes back to the mids getting some two way running into their game and hitting targets as we transition forward with some speed on the ball.

    The stop and prop possession / momentum game is a killer for forwards and there's no need for it unless you ARE needing to arrest momentum later in a game or icing / protecting a lead.

    Viney needs to get more accurate in general.  Massive turnover king this season which is killing many of our transitions forward.

    2nd worst quarter for CP in 3 years. Sounds about right.

    Sparrow on the wing like it’s 2020.

    No cohesion with the forwards. 

    May and Gawn giving nothing. 

    Oliver coughing it up. No cohesion with Viney, Oliver and most of the mids.

    Shes going to get ugly

    • 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.
