Time for Ken to go. Had his chances and they need a refresh. Hinkley to Bulldogs has been floating around the traps of late.

Is he actually a good coach? Which club is going after a guy who’s had 10 years and done nothing? If I was Port I’d be going after Leppitsch.

    Waiting for the “ Lions will beat us by 15 goals next week on this form” posts.

     

     

    We can't even beat them on our ground when we've practically been full strength.

    We go in next week without trac and lever isn't  a definite. 

    I'm not confident at all

    Reckon before we worry about lions we focus on Nth no gimmee the way where playing. Definitely something wrong at the club that Fred loss was inexplicable. Supporters are mushrooms kept in the dark and you know the rest

    Good to see Bedford, Jordan & Grundy doing well … 

    You don't like Jesse Hogan?

    No, he just likes whinging, criticising and posting the same comment week after week.

    Just a reminder to all Dee supporters. Here is the definition of Supporter
     

    someone who supports a particular idea, group, or person:

     

    Let’s get behind our MFC people. 
     

    Edit, stop poo-ing on the club. It’s ok to not be happy at times, but too many continue to harp on and on and on, and criticise the club.

    In light of our challenges forward GWS seem happy to just bang it fwd -easier to do that with Hogan and Riccardi there to launch and green to crumb

    they don’t seem to be much “lowering their eyes” and I don’t see super leading patterns or much “strategy”

    Sydney OTOH move the ball with great pace (which we can’t) and when the ball comes in that fast you don’t need a Gary Ablett snr to convert 

    we have neither key fwds who can compete in the air or a fast counter attack and our scores attest to that

    I do but we had no control in losing him 

    Incorrect.  We chose to trade Hogan, unlike Jordon who was a FREE AGENT.

    Gws have youth and speed. They dont tend to dawdle  ( i.e stop and let oppos sset up )   Something to ponder for us

    Carlton were amazing tonight, I do not want to play them in the finals.

    They are a lot like us in 2021 without being as good defensively. They will not win it this year nor any other in the foreseeable future. Right now it’s Sydney, Pies and Lions for mine.

    Swans v Giants looks like the third thriller so far this round. We’ll have the blowout game for sure.

    Has anyone been to gws's home ground? When I was staying down that way in Sydney earlier in the year I walked past it & it looked OK.

    Im not in denial and have my head buried in the sand that our club has botched up the last 2 trades with spuds & given away players with taken for a bag of chips

    Oh dear… just seen the Port score 😬😬

    Can someone briefly fill me in? Were Brisbane firing on all cylinders and/or were Port terrible?

    ...surely the Blues are a shot too.

    It's one thing to have an opinion but a different thing entirely to keep harping on about it and posting the same thing over and over and over and over again.  I think we all know how you feel.

    Leaving that one hanging @Dee Zephyr - 😅 which way is the blow out? 😇

  • Quote

    The Giants looked like world beaters early in the season. Their form drop off has been even worse than ours.

    If we lose tonight, the AFL should put up the poll of which top 8/expected top 8 team is the biggest pretender.

    Geelong last night, who handed the baton to Port today who are now handing the baton to GWS who better not be handing it over to us.

    Sure is. Other than Sydney and Carlton, we are the only other team performing consistently

    • 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.
