That was fun

 

Joeboy - showed admirable constraint.


Joeboy - perfect except for McVee. 18 possessions. 8 intercepts. 100% disposals efficiency. 7 marks. Tried his best under constant pressure.  Held Walters. Walters got 2 goals from horrible Dees turnovers.  Not mcvees fault.  Three words. Mcvee. Tried under pressure.  

Sparrow never really delivers.

He tries hard but doesn't have the skills for a mid

Probably suited to a Cameo up fwd 

Petty has fallen apart.

You forgot Oliver....

Hasn't been great.

Gawn wasn't outplayed.  He was clearly the dominant ruck on the ground.  Darcy and Jackson's only periods of dominance in the ruck came against Petty, or when Jackson played as a forward.  Gawn beat them both convincingly in every other measure.  the Dockers didn't win the game because of the ruck battle.  There were about 50 other reasons. And yes, that's way more than three words:

Gawn - busted his guts

Brutally unfair on McVee

Sparrow    Hasn’t come on

Petty     Thoughts of Adelaide

Chandler    Love an Upgrade

Salem     Dynamic he’s not

MFC     Soul searching required


Mostly , I agree

  • 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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
