    This play on at all costs is not working 

    Never has for us, we need to keep the ball in hand as long as possible 

    Smacca can't stand up in a contest or kick 30 meters.  He's still weeks off AFL level fitness / strength

    Why was he brought in so early i wonder?

    The difference in this game is one team being able to hit regulation kicks in the corridor. And the other not.

    Fyfe swan dive rewarded. Maggots.

    Geez some of our supposedly elite mids are lazy. Roosy came in with the goal of teaching them to be 2 way running mids and they've very clearly forgotten a lot of that. 

    If you watch the mids of Sydney compared to Melbourne the contrast is insane


    We talk the talk about a strong culture etc but we are so mentally weak. So many times over the years we have been a team that looks disinterested or expecting the game to happen for us. 

    On a side not when does this deal selling games to nt end surely it’s not worth it

    Defense has sucked this year. Good sides just open us.

    Salem missing that easy target sums his career up. Lives off dinky 15-20m kicks yet is horrible when 30-40m away attempting to hit a target.

    Petty has kicked his goal for the month.

    Fritta is off.

    We won't kick a winning score.

    Freo's largest half time score is 7.6.

    They have 7.3 with 10 minutes left in the half.


    I feel ill

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

    Enough is enough. 

    Stafford, like Goodwin is a protected species

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
