Lol double handed throw off the ground... ignored

 
 

Our ball handling is so bad. What’s Chocco doing with them

Not sure about Kolt. 

For a 19 y.o. playing his 9th/10th game, I reckon he could be doing WAAAAYYYYY worse

Good lord Viney..

Looks cooked and we sign him to a new 3 year deal.

What ever they are doing they are still trying.  [censored] run with the free kicks but still going for it

I’m usually a bit of an optimist, but no, they have not been trying at all. They have been lazy, giving them acres of room, applying little to no pressure, constantly being caught flat footed, fumbling the ball, etc etc etc.

Let's get one thing straight moving forward.

Judd McVee is NOT a midfielder at all. Getting spanked and exposed big time in there.

Tried the experiment, that's a wrap.

Given up 9 goals from turnover

 

Quality football side

Do you remember last week Dazzle?

6 goals to 7 since quarter time. 
not all gloom

You wonder if Lever isn't the only one with illness with this kind of performance.

Small sample size,  but McVee not working in the midfield.

Only been a few weeks, but seems he needs the game in front of him and struggles with congestion around. Also appears he doesn't have great top speed and so rushes and shank kicks bursting forward. When down back he has side step from whats coming front on and kicks after a few steps, not on the run. Appears better suited to half back based on this. 

Not every good small defender or forward needs to be made into a midfielder.

Can't wait for another season of this exceptional ball use in 2025.

Same as.Petty not being a forward, just stop

McVey off interchange straight to rooms.  
Anyone see anything?

I reckon Chocco's times up at the club.

Skills are non existent.

We have gotten very sloppy as a football club.

2025 is definitely make or break for Woey.

Not sure what his strengths are.

I'm really hoping he is a late bloomer like his old man. Shane was drafted as a mature age player when he was 21 in 97.

He’s nowhere near strong enough. He’s so good at HB I just don’t understand the need to play him in the middle at this stage.

It’s the kids 3rd game playing through the midfield.

 

Sheeeesh 

 

Kolt can’t pick up a ground ball and Woey just doesn’t have required AFL features.  
 

Sad to see ANB have such a bad final game.

You gotta be kidding mate. I clearly was talking about Collingwood

  • 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.
