Bayley Fritsch has turned into one of the worst footballers I've seen pull on a jumper in a long long time.

Yet goody won't drop him

This Neeld era bs

it really does feel like that doesn't it

messy, sloppy, poor skills, zero pressure defensively

how we have fallen so far from this time last year is just galling

    I look forward to the 10 minute spell where we play well and give us hope only to lose by 10 goals

    Ahhh Gary.

    We have been "See what happens" going forward since Goodwin took over.

    Ive coached elite sport for many years, if my group of athletes fronted up to any comp with this level of skill I would have been sacked real quick. I cannot fathom how we can be this poor.

    I want Goodwin to go as well, but he can't stop Petracca from hand balling to no one or fumbling a ball at his toes under no pressure.
    And that's Petracca, our best player. All down the list we've gone backwards at warp speed.

    A strong whiff of West Coast's post-flag trajectory about us now.

    So we have 3 talls now plus Gawn

    [censored] me


    For the feint of heart time to stop watching. this is a 70 plus point loss coming up folks.

    Why is our pressure factor always so low, and always lower than our oppo??

    Sounds a lot like Garry is on the 'Sack Goody' train now

    Look at the body language

    Trac and even Gawn look defeated

    Haven’t ever seen this before. You just know we have zero chance of winning

    Belief has left the building

    Even the commentators sound bored. The intensity and skill level is so bland. I'm bored it is so bad.

    I'm not sure what's happened. I thought the days of playing badly like this were over.

    This is bruise free footy

    wtf are they doing in the coaches box? Are we just rocking back and forth repeating “it’ll come good stick to the process”?

    We’ll be lucky to have 40,000 members next year if Goodwin and this playing style is persisted with.

    Genuine question. Has anyone seen us lead towards the ball carrier yet? Or just away from them?

    • 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.
