    Can’t see how selling this game compensates from potentially missing a top 4 position.

    They’ve beaten us consistently at the MCG. The ground is not the issue.

    Love Kozzies effort but he really needs to work on his disposal.

    And some think he is elite with disposal.

     

    Oliver with five touches.

    No problem with our midfield.

    Some things just are in football with no need for learning a system.

    A 5kg dumbbell is a 5kg dumbbell, a short handball is a short handball, a 35 metre set shot...

    Mc Adam has done about as much as Fullarton this year. 🙄

    Watch this now become a slog and arm wrestle where we just let the game drift away.

    Why not be proactive for a change, and simply attack……………you know, like we used to do when we were good?

    No. An arm wrestle involves two competitors. 

    We are such a slow team and every other side knows it, if they just come out hard we can’t keep up. We are betting everything on been close enough in the 2nd half to make it a game

    Whatever Goodwin and his coaching team are trying to do this year they need to go back to basics. We are so out of sync and just average. There's no identity to what we're doing.

    We're not even at half time yet and the week's footy shows already have an entire week's worth of content to talk about. This isn't just a player issue. This is a comprehensive structural breakdown.


    This game from us reminds me of the expression...

    Bruise free football.

    Not according to our pres who would sign Goodwin to a 10-year extension if she could.

    Unless and until we find a forward coach with forward experience and forward nous we will not be true contenders.   
     

    Enough is enough. 

     

    These umpires are terribly inconsistent. Pay a free to freo then 30 secs later ignore a dees free. FMS

    we have no offensive system at all and the amount of lazy, long bomb kicks is embarrassing, we would do 10-15 for every 1 that Freo do and it's really showing

    • 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.
