    50 years of this [censored]. Tell me some of our senior players are trying. They looked apathetic when they run through the banner. They no the team is cooked. Trac and Oliver don’t want to be there the whole thing stinks

    Can we be the first team ever to sack a coach at half time.

    Take your [censored] game plan and [censored] off Goodwin

    These last two weeks have been the worst of his coaching career. 6 smalls up forward is insanity

    At the match , it’s even worse live. A complete and utter shambles. Woeful skills . Players who look dispirited and lost . I think Goodwin has to take responsibility for this mess.

    Well I have finally got there, Goodwin's game plan and direction isn't getting through. He has to go

    There's a reason our crowds are poor.
    Just awful football to watch.

    We have freo next week at the g Saturday afternoon. Won't even get 20 thousand

    This is actually heartbreaking. I used to get so mad watching this team during the Bailey, Neeld and Roos years. I've calmed down a lot. I am not even angry at this. Just heartbroken. This is the most boring, insipid football I have wayched in a while.

    Who knew that when you play one key forward who is only 193cm you won’t take F50 marks…. Oh that’s right every demon supporter and person other than the coaches.

    Hmmm 16 points in nearly a half of footy. I think we might have a serious problem scoring? (Among other problems, ofc)

    Also, oof, getting ugly. Already. Again.


    I actually cannot fathom how poorly we are playing. The effort* (for the most part) is there but the execution, my god.

    *Certain players excepted, Petty being the main offender for mine. Send him to the VFL

    How does Petty drop that mark. Our skills are just so poor.

    I’ve seen enough. We weren’t this bad even in the 80’s. The coach has lost this team. Hiss off Goodwin you’ve made us look like a laughing stock. TV off!

    This is the best way to put it.

    Exactly how I feel. Just really sad.

    I've watched every game so far except the Blues/Eagles. All entertaining games, we are just so boring to watch.

    Nothing has changed moving the ball inside 50.

    This could get real ugly in the second half.

    They have to stand up and fight the whole way tonight in the second half.

    I would say the opposite. Our skills are not that poor. Decision making or great. But we are not working hard enough at all

    18 more weeks of this debacle. Are we officially in crisis? Goodwin must go now!

    I didn't buy the love in stuff for a second. This place is rotten .

    Yeah maybe you're right, it just seems like we are just butchering it again and again especially going inside 50. Who the hell would want to play forward in this team.

    • 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.
