    Have to feel for Tom McDonald. An entire career playing dour defensive roles in garbage teams, with 3 good years of football in the middle there. At least he got that flag.

    Henderson is [censored]. Tholstrup straight in next week for him if match fit.

    And of course casey have a bye this week so Kolt can't build match fitness.


    Find a [censored] man and stop this chip, chip [censored].

    Yes, turning it over

    He has in the past but tonight he hasn’t.


    He has coached out every ounce of contest & defence, it’s amateurish what he’s done! I don’t blame Trac if he says I want out we are deplorable ..Green do the right thing as president or club is about to enter 2012 Neeld era

    Just glad we sent the strongest possible message by backing everyone in. Goody and Happy Clapper master class.

    We have a small forward line, but a small forward line with Melksham and Fritsch means it isn't really going to be locking the ball in there.

    At least 2 unforced errors a kick and a handball


    Setterfield is killing it right now. Playing Oliver tight at stoppages and then breaks away immediately. He has 11 touches to Oliver's 6

    Yeah, nothing makes you work harder at your job than knowing your position is safe no matter how poorly you perform. 🤮

    Rounds 1 - 3 losses put down to key players missing.

    Round 4 was all Selwyn’s fault.

    What will it be tonight?

    Go away Filth Person…

    i'm a perceptive supporter not a 'die hard' because why would i die hard when they persisted with Goodwin when it was clear that he was not allowing the best of our players. we recruited Nate Jones of all people to coach, with no coaching credentials, purely on sentiment, and we arguably did the same with Brad Green.
    When we had Roffey who was a great President because she offered something different. Green and Jones are Fanboys and they are not football intellects wide-armed person people (as Roffey was).

    I don't wish to pile [censored] on Melbourne, but I'm trying to have a perceptive and critical discussion about it.

    Unfortunately for you I have developed a soft spot for Collingwood because even though many of they're supporters are horrible, the club has a spirit that wouldn't allow pure sentiment to cloud their vision for their prosperity and the welfare of the players.

    That being said, my line of reasoning is much more caring to our players than supporters who just say "great we have Nate Jones coaching and Goodwin still there, fantastic!" without seeing how catastrophic this has been for the welfare and prosperity of kids like Petracca and the younger echelon of Rivers etc. who are trying to live full and unhindered footballing careers

    You Go Away, youve probably got no guts to stand up for what this club needs.

    • 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.
