    LOVING the intensity from AMW so far. Awesome tackle and a bit of biff with Stringer

    Score, assist from Monners?

    And now he’s giving some to Stringer!

    Could be another new favourite.

    Recovering from another back op. Not supposed to drink on these painkillers. Can’t watch this game without a whisky.spacer.png

    @Demonland, looks like it needs a bit of a touch up.

    How is that straight away 50 without telling him “2 meters” or whatever?

    That “mark” that Kos got the 50m penalty for was from an 8m kick. 
     

    Sorry I know that was ages ago but I’m still fuming.

    If we continue to dump kick under little pressure, we may as well pull the pin now. 

    Can you see the difference with their hands out of stoppage vs us just dump kick when we don't need to. 

    Sam story. On repeat. In the wet. 


    We’re not manning up in their 50 and our inside 50 delivery has been poor.

    Will need to fix that very soon. 

    HQ not going to miss the opportunity to get the Cheats up to second 

     

    Our basic skill level is just way off tonight.

    Simple handballs not done properly.

    Some lazy footy unfortunately.

    • 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.
