Spot on Bailey Laurie, he's got that look of a High Schooler. Looks afraid and overwhelmed at AFL footy.

May, great after first?

as the general down back played terribly. every time they went fwd they looked like scoring

I thought Windsor did well.

Viney must be injured..  ranked our 8th worst player in a horrible team performance.

This can't be the real Jack.

Good report. Jvr was good for me.

Did you forget Laurie?

I fully understand.

That's the thing...

Players like Bowey

Rivers

Viney

Salo

Langers

Are not impacting games like they used too.

Disposal has always been lacking.. just covered it up with effort, intensity etc. But with age.. comes a spotlight on the flaws.

Sparrow - a serial noncontributor

How he is still getting a game is mind blowing, fumbles, fumbles then when he does grab it either gets caught or turns it over. Get rid of him. 

Billings & Fritsch - butter (at room temperature) is harder

Edited by leucopogon

I think Windsor is going to be a real player, even on days where he’s below par, he still puts in and his presence is more than his slight frame should allow.

JVR and Windsor - our shining lights

Both were ok today. It was our experienced players (except Gawn and ANB) that farted and fumbled.


Goodwin - must be sacked 

 

May...Definitely carrying injury

Windsor..Definitely not worst

Billings Definitey Casey Season

McVee .... Uncharacteristically hesitant game

Rider: I wont pot players, confidence is a major contributor, unfortunately older players aren't dragging them along

MFC's are back

 

Rivers - lost his dash

Salem - poor under pressure 

Sorry JoeBoy - go back and watch the replay and send us all an apology for missing their contribution today.

Other verdicts I can cope with although your May one seems to have forgotten Hoskin-Elliott - one of their best three - played on him for the entire first half before Goody realised May wasn't quick enough to man him.

  • 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?
