    Bit of heat has to come on Tim Lamb, done nothing for this list since winning a premiership three years ago. Amazing that midfield and ruck depth weren’t addressed in the off season

    I feel really sorry for our fans who actually paid good money to witness this debacle first hand.

    At least we can be comforted knowing that we're currently loading.

    Anyone in here who genuinely thinks we are a flag chance has rocks in their head. Been clear for quite some time. 

    Yeh.. there’s been excuses and reasons but it’s pretty clear we’re not good enough. Even good teams lose a game or two they shouldn’t, when you lose this many you just aren’t good

    Not sticking with Grundy and not giving it more time was perhaps the most short-sighted coaching decision I have ever seen this club make.

    We gifted him to Sydney who is now dominating and has an AA ruck for the next 4-5 seasons.

    Meanwhile we are plodding along with Petty as a backup ruckman, and we get absolutely spanked whenever a team has more than one big body.

    Anyone that didn't see the writing on the wall after the West Coast game is delusional.

    I’m booking a family overseas trip in September. So disappointed with my club!

     

    They are almost DOUBLE us in contested possessions

    Double

    pathetic gutless soft performance 


    Melbourne are pretenders, this is seriously pathetic. May struggle to make finals from here, 2021 was fun but this club just doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to dominate in this league

    T Mc and Tomlinson keep running to the same spots the big dumb oafs. Seriously, it cant be that hard to go man on man 

    Goodwin the tactical genius would rather loose the game than make adjustments on the fly

    Why won’t Melbourne make the perceived hard call and not play players who aren’t in form. Petty is currently useless. Hunter should not have come in the team when he did. Disco is not a forward. 
     

    Petty is a complete liability at the moment and should be back at Casey. Is the reason he is playing is so that we can keep his price tag high? It isn’t working.

    There’s literally no one who would do a better job. We have no forwards in the cupboard.

    It’s a training run for Freo atm.

    Seriously, when will Goodwin be held accountable? He’s got to go, along with several of our players.

    We need to start again with a full on re-build.

    What are our odds to miss the 8? Seems safe money 

    To win football games you need skill and to care, we have no skill and the players 

    All it them.  Do Not Care


    In the podcast, I do not want to hear about how other teams lose in upsets followed by the one time it happened to Collingwood last year.

    • 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?
