How f'ing hard is it for our back to pick up an opponent when the ball is in our f50, knowing that it's likely the ball will slingshot into their f50?

Dumb football

    We're Fremantles [censored] unfortunately. They've had it over us for years for some inexplicable reason despite being a bog average side.

    So Freo just run players forward as they know they'll win most of the ground ball comtests and just sling shot it with speed via quick hands then the long kick out the back.

    The only way to counter that is to either win more one v one contests, dont turn the ball over so often and/or play man on man for a while.  The latter is something we seem incapable of bringing at all, let alone for 10 or so minutes.

    I just don't know why they have to push so relentlessly high.

    Well done Windsor. Ffs just hurt them if you can’t do anything else.

    Goody simply has to go at years end. No it’s not all on him this woeful performance, but he’s the bus driver and has lost control.


    thoroughly disgusted with this performance

    hang your heads in shame senior players. getting smashed by Freo not once but twice is pathetic beyond belief

    i'm turning this rubbish off and taking the dog for a walk. much better use of my time.

    Like him but Kade Chandler has probably been gifted too many games.

    Theres no point in complaining. We were never set up to win. Not this game or this season. Inexcusable to make your list worse in the off season and we went and did that.

    Perhaps Lever and May are just following the Game Plan.

    I’ve never been this disappointed in Viney. I love the bloke but start hitting them hard

    Truly embarrassing. 

    Same thing, every time. 

    Have we caught on? 

    Nope. 

    Nibbler needs to play midfield all game now. Nobody can defend like him.

    Where's the pride. Your meant to come out breathing fire after a team has done what Freo did last time. Same with the Pies and Blues game. Just no heart. 

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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
