Just saw vision of the Lever throw call, freo player wraps his arm around Lever's neck just before and it's completely missed and Melbourne are penalised. Vision makes it a shocking umpiring miss.

    And don’t mention the clearances. According to Binman they’re a irrelevant stat.

    In what has been a very disappointing half of footy 2 positives stood out to me.

    Windsor is a winner. He only knows how to win.

    And JVR is going to be the best tall forward we’ve had in 15 years.

    How can every other team shark taps and we can’t??

    do we do no research into other teams?

    My thoughts exactly. Teams can go in with no rucks against us and win a clearance. We have no ruck and cannot get near it. 

    But Oliver and Viney badly need a rocket.

    Because it’s hard to learn to shark taps in two weeks when you’ve been used to having the best ruckman of the modern era at your disposal for years. 
     

    The ruck contests aren’t the issue. Our mids doing nothing to defend the ball drop is the issue.

    He's a gun.

    Hopefully won't be rucking all the time.

    I know we are getting obilterated in the ruck but is there any chance our mids can play goalside ffs.

    Goalside at clearances is it much to ask for, on their shoulder.

    Also stick a [censored] tackle.

     

    Yep, just stop the the clearances where Freo walk it out. Go defensive until the Dees can even the contest. 


    Putting that display not on Goody's non ruck selection call, but instead on our midfielders who have totally outworked. 

    Need a huge lift out of Viney, Rivers, Kozzy and ANB

    At half time of the Alice game I thought Freo couldn’t play any better and we couldn’t play any worse. They got better, we got worse.

    Definitely the same vibes about this game aside from Freo’s inaccuracy. Will be interesting to see if we can make some inroads in the second half or just let the game get out of control per round 12.

    We’re definitely playing with one hand tied  behind our back with the ruck and clearance issue.

    Bedford by a fair margin for mine.  He has a weapon which Chin does not.

    Chin only has manic follow up pressure (chasing tail) and second efforts which sometimes works and looks good when it comes off.

    Bedford brings the wheels plus the latter.

    I was being somewhat facetious 🙂

    Bedford by the length of the Flemington straight and then some.

    Should have been obvious to the List managers BEFORE Bedford left.

    This is reminding me of when I played U17’s and the top side would show up with a dozen players over 190 cm and most with beards and sideburns! We amazingly seem to be undersized all over the ground but somehow they also have midfield players everywhere, running riot! 

     

    Too funny. Thanks for that. 
     

    did you ever see that Wonder Years episode when he is soccer team shows up and the opposition are like twice as tall as them? I have memories like that too…

    I put the blame on our leaders 

    Viney and Clarry in the middle have been terrible especially when we are getting towelled up

    May the only leader standing up

    If I’m Goodwin 

    - Disco to shadow Darcy around the ground 

    - ANB hard tag on Young

    - Viney head to head with Sarong

    - McVee to the midfield.

    All should be put on the trade table afaic.

    The speed on this game looks to have gone past Salem in that first half.

    Hopefully he can bring something to the table in the second.

    This was a big test for us , but we are getting games into our youngsters and hopefully better next year with Trac back and a proper pre season for Clarry.

    We still have a chance this year with Max back next week.

    Hurts seeing Jackson dominate against us, as he is what we are missing most.

    • 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.
