I just keep watching thinking it's going to 'click'.

This is the first time ever that I'm thinking of turning off. It's so hard to watch.

At least in the rebuild years you could get belted but see a work in progress or some good individual games from certain players.

This is just horrendous.

    F’ing unbelievable, another 2 goal half and Goodwin can’t see the need to change anything. Totally disgraceful coaching.

    Come on now, he's put Petty forward!

    Just spent two hours getting a sick toddler to sleep. Then the TV and see the score. Seems like more of the same from this group? Belted around the ball and bombing to a congested forward line?

    Hey man

    Hope the little one gets better soon! 🤞

    I really wish I hadn't already made plans and bought tickets for a mate to attend with me on the 24th.

     

    So now we move a key defender forward because we can’t take marks and have a bunch of small/medium forwards. Can’t make this stuff up. The whole coaching group have lost me now

    I’ve turned it off.

    Kiddie level football, horrid.

    Going to watch 1923, at least enjoy something.

    Essendon are playing poorly but we are not even playing.

    The whole club can go and [censored] off

    I could take losses when we had a rubbish list but our talent is pretty good

    [censored]!!

    Religion ain’t gonna save us.


    theres our 1 goal for the third quarter!!

    As far as I'm concerned we keep Lindsay, Langford and Windsor.
    The rest we put on the trade table and see what we can get.
    As long as Goodwin and his assistants go too.

    • 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.
