Fullarton is a tax scam I swear. 

Reality is this year was [censored] as soon as we traded Grundy and brought in a guy who averages 4 hit outs a game. 

 

Can we just stop letting Freo look like a premiership team every single time we play them?

How is this putrid stand for nothing irrelevant club  constantly having the wood over us?

They wear purple and their mascot is a [censored] anchor. wtf!

Dumb footy Viney! Just kick it forward!

To two Freo players? No-one was in our f50

Where's the run from his team mates. He had to go backwards 

 

Now Brisbane has come up and won. 🫢

Umps should wear noise cancelling earphones


We look absolutely cooked. Jogging on the spot and no desire

Yep Freo aren't Essendon.

Dodged a bullet last week but Freo much better in ruck department.

Goody made a boo boo.

 

Now Brisbane has come up and won. 🫢


Mids getting embarrassed 0 clearences in a quarter is downright dreadful.

Not good but we are in it

What game are you watching? We are getting [censored] in every aspect of the game. 
we will do well to keep the final margin below 10 goals here 

0.2 in a qtr is not good enough. 

The truth is freo would be buoyed by the way they trashed us not even 2 months ago, so we’ll need a fairly dramatic turn in skills and mindset to make this a game.

Pickett slow to dispose 💩

Fritsch poor kick into F50💩

Fritsch miss tackle 💩

Tmcd too slow 💩

Chandler miss from 25 metres 💩

sparrow and Salem are passengers … one disposal each !!! 💩

Agree - was thinking it’s like we have concrete in our boots.

Well we have a lot of scope for improvement…

Ir stick a skewer through their eardrums

We look like vfl kids against the best team in the land. wtf is going on? we look nervous and scared

they should be 8 goals up

will we show anything? make a physical statement?

not going off our history 

You can tell the players didn’t believe they could win with no ruck. There is a notable lack of effort or desire. 
 

The word uncompetitive comes to mind again. The midfielders are lacking intensity and Freo are just waltzing out of stoppage. 

 

I don’t understand what anyone thinks Fullarton would have done. Have you seen him play?

The issue is coaching. We know what they do. We saw it first hand 6 weeks ago. We had come in with a different plan.

Ghost of a chance with multiple Margetts clones ‘officiating’.

  • 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.
