    So far we've dropped 3.4%. Drop another 2% and we'll go below the Dawks.

    Hawks deserve to be ahead of us. Been sensational for weeks now.

    When May and Lever are bad, they are just horrific. 

    It feels like we've spent the entire game taking 5 steps too many and running into trouble, or just banging the ball long to the Freo defenders. 

    Pickett not looking too interested today.

    Walters in the protected zone behind the man on the mark, moving sideways.

    Not only is no 50m paid, but he's not even told to get out

    Just wondering when genius mode kicks in for Goodwin 🤷‍♂️

    How are they constantly running unmanned? And finding multiple free players inside 50?

    Is everyone dead in the coaches box? 


    CAN OUR DEFNDERS ACTUALLY DEFEND AN OPPONENT FOR ONCE!

    Walters must love playing us. Perfectly suits his game of not wanting a tough contest & waiting for a loose ball

    I wasn't never going to believe that. Coming as it was from his mum 😀 

    Freo are everywhere, headcount please lol

    Why are they all unmanned so often in their forward 50?

    Ok we are down in the ruck but why so poor in defensive effort today??

    What was our plan going into this match? If you look at the disaster of the previous match what did we plan to do differently to counter this?

    The inability to create solutions has cost us finals and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    How is it that you can turn over the ball at half forward, and they get an uncontested mark inside 50 without anyone getting within 10m of their players?

    This is unacceptably bad. Makes Goodwin look silly when he said that they haven’t seen the real us. [censored]. But don’t worry Billing’s will save us.

    Hard when he's being double teamed at every opportunity.

    We're not a contender this year so may as well just play kids and try for be best draft pick possible. Give the kids time around the ball. It's not like the senior players can handle it.

    No more list cloggers like Billings, Hunter, Laurie etc

    • 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.

      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?
