I can’t remember the last time I felt so despondent after a loss 😓


Statistically diabolical performance. 

Probably a season killing game. 
 

Just win next week, I don’t really care about the season beyond that.

The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

I thought we were pretty good. A couple of unlucky momentum sapping umpiring calls when we had them on the ropes early were the difference for mine.

Demoralising. Utterly demoralising.

2 weeks ago I guess?

Credit in advance to posters who vote today. Not one winner on the field whatsoever.

Reality check.

Goodwin has to come under extreme pressure now. This has been building since the Brisbane game.

Tim Lamb needs to also come under serious scrutiny, he's butchered the list since the grand final.

We gave up. Petracca reflects the player’s feelings…he was so frustrated by a failing game plan.  Waving his arms around every time it came unstuck. We absolutely stunk it up and another sold game destroys our season 

I was hoping the game against WC was an aberration. It was not. Last weeks win was against a disinterested SK which papered over cracks. We haven’t been anywhere this bad since the early Roos days.

Plenty of learnings from that game. Get Billings in for Hunter and all short be sweet for next week because 2021. 

 

 

Should just post up the post match from the wc game it would read basically the same

Laughter is the best medicine 

Missed the game as was at my daughter’s dance concert. Looks like a missed a ripper. 
Season was over in Perth two weeks ago. Major changes needed starting with Goodwin. 

We've managed to paper over the cracks for quite a while, but you can only get away with that for so long. List has some serious holes and hard to say where solutions are going to come from, at least in the short term.  Almost time to start playing the kids, couldn't be much worse.

Simons presser should start with

" Wow didn't see that comin"🤮

    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.
