    -12 in contested possessions is pathetic. There is no other way to frame it. 

    Unbelievable what this team is becoming, sure 1st qtr but as usual they are looking off & freo gave never played, our mids honestly and our fwds , dumb decision in the backline

    Oliver is now a fully fledged turnover merchant.

    Of course he is, but no, you can't say that on here because hea a protected species. 

    Costs us goals every week.

    McAdam couldn’t make the distance the last 2 weeks but that was put down to learning the Melbourne system.

    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...

    what a terrible quarter of football, we gave them most of those goals with absolutely braindead football, turnovers and total lack of skill. is this another game where we came in thinking we got this, we dont need to do anything. kick the first couple of goals and go into this is easy mode and just blow it all over the ground. something needs to be done about the attitude melbourne players show out there, no respect for their opponents, not manning up, not chasing, not tackling, no idea.

    Way too many purple Guernsey around the stands for a Dees home game. 😬

    We've never had an NT following...

    It's a money trip

    In our defence handball and run in to the wind is smart but you got to know when to get numbers up and play percentages 

     

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

    Just wondering how Freo can have such a following when they are not a big club or popular at all.

    He's delusional. 

    About as good as his excuse of loading the past few year to no advantage.

    Everyone else can see its a midfield issue except him.

    Our midfield has been okay though today. We're losing through turnover. It's very concerning that a team like Freo scores 5.2 in the first quarter. We are badly out of sync.

    Can we revisit selling this game?

    I get the revenue but don't we want to win games first?

    Our record here is not good enough for the cash.

    They’re bigger than us

    Fritsch couldn’t stick a tackle on an Auskick kid today. Players are just walking past him.

    21 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    appalling skills

    Yes, perhaps that’s a by-product of valuing Effort (contested possession) over every other facet.

    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?

    Weve become such a predictable and boring side. Contest defence, contest defence. Where is kicking goals in our list of priorities.

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

    Freo want this win. We are playing like we don’t care.

    • 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?
