Any danger this team develops speed and tank?

Even their older players seem.to run quicker and tire less.

 

New innovation in our gameplan, don't go near your opponent, working well, and if that doesn't work give it to players that are nowhere near it not sure it's going to catch on by other teams.

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.

Woey senior is overrated

Do you remember last week Dazzle?

Yeah against one of the worst sides this decade has seen?

Sure, whatever tickles your little fancy. 

Fritsch not a single possession forward of centre

Petty not a single possession in the fwd50

Champions


Hard watch. Lizzie has been dangerous but might get rubbed out. Chandler has tried hard. Gawn ok. Everyone else has been horrible.

Viney played his only A grade game for the year and put the cue in the rack.

Thank goodness there's only a quarter of this horrific season left.

Just don't let this be a blow out. Finish the quarter strong

skills are woeful, we had so many opportunities go begging because of poor disposal. we need a new skills coach (and some better players). i still dont see us manning up, this is where they are killing us and we continue to give them heaps of easy cheap possessions. absolutely destroyed at our lack of effort in chasing, tackling and most things around the ground. i had hoped that after the 2nd quarter we were making bit of a comeback but that was not to be.

Tried the experiment, that's a wrap.

Nope needs the tank and teaching and he will be OK.

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 until he’s much stronger.

Petracca , Oliver, Sparrow all missing 

maybe explains why McVee is doing midfield time don’t you think ? 
 

We have no depth in that part of the ground and even our main starters have poor kicking skills 

It should be our key focus during the draft period and trading

We are [censored] next season

Playing this soft it's hard to disagree.

Bruise free butchers with a failed system and method that doesn't hold up under anything that resembles AFL standard pressure.

We cannot maintain possession for more than a few disposals in transistion and after three years have not learned or garnered the skills and craft that sees a switch of lanes or direction that allows us to hit more targets coming inside 50.

We are STILL playing on like headless chooks, running and kicking in straight lines with no lowering of vision and constantly missing open options inside 50. 

Instead just bombing on ppls heads down the line which the oppo intercepts or spoils easily.

I can't see how Goodwin survives beyond 2025 if he continues to dish up this rubbish.

I really don’t understand our zone off sometime.

I understand that it gives us structure behind the ball but it seems to leave the corridor wide open. 
 

i also concede that our zone off is never going to work when we’re turning the ball over this much 

Blow the friggen siren already so I can remove myself from this misery.

Starting to think our players are colour blind.

They have checked out, see you in 2025.

Definitely after the Brownlow.

I'm just hoping that Woey can develop into a player that can reliably play a role. He is a liability at the moment and I cringe when I see him named in the team.

It really makes it hard when your best kicks consistently miss targets in a game where you have almost no margin for error anyway.

  • 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.
