Putrid Horrible

DEES 57. Bombers 96. 

It’s ok We will take learnings from this loss just like every other loss.

3 goals in three quarters. Should learn you that does c not win many games. To I think we got close at one stage shows how bad those scum are.

 

I think that will be the last time I'll tip us for the season. Lucky we're going to get an amazing pick. with our No.1 pick this year. Oh wait!

Sadly 10 minutes of team football combined with poor tactics in the first half is not good enough, People are lamenting May and Gawn mistakes, but in the scheme of things it would not have made a difference for those couple fo goals.

The team tactically and physically have not been prepared for this season to compete for 4 qtrs.

I switch off with 5 to go, so I didn't see the player post siren reactions this week.

Do yourself a favour and get to our home game aganst West Coast at Marvel in round 21.

Will likely be our only win for the year.

Very optimistic.

 

Goody should've been sack when he lost to the Eagles by 6 goals in Perth. Haven't been the same since. You just know he will come out and say we've improved in his press conference and "we have enormous belief in our plan and have a desire to get better". Just bin him for the love of god.

Post North after Chandler kicked 3 goals and all his defenders came rushing out I said he wouldn't kick 3 goals in his next 3 games (and if he did I'd donate 50$ to charity). He kicked 1 and was a passenger again. This is our problem. So many sub standard players that rode on the back of the elite guys.

Trac missed that sitter to get it back to 10 then they just kicked on & we gave up 2 junk time goals

Was that the difference in the game? No.


Fair dinkum the club are gaslighting us or even just being straight up dishonest to us about the connection and ‘love’ they have.

Something feels amiss and broken.

It’s starting to feel disingenuous.

Time for big balls and big calls. The damage that zero change is causing to this football club is catastrophic.

Last week Goodwin banged on about not just wanting to get better…

Were we better tonight, or less than that?

I’m genuinely somewhat intrigued by what he’ll say tonight. But I don’t have the fortitude to watch it. I’m sorry. It’ll be some [censored] that will make my heart sink and blood boil at the same time.

The captain telling me, still, the Titanic is not sinking, even though we’re up to our necks…

A few good signs, probably all we can expect for the moment.

Decent performance across the ground, marred by a few costly errors (May and Gawn dropped marks), the younger players struggling a bit, Windsor hasn't been himself since returning, Langford can't handball to save himself, Lindsay getting too easily out-bodied, etc. etc. But tackles, clearances, contested possessions all trending in the right direction.

However: This was supposed to be the breakout year for JVR, unfortunately it's close to his worst. Add the injury to Jefferson, Johnson not there yet (if he'll ever be?), and Fullarton improving but ???, and we have a forward line that is a long way off kicking enough goals.

Study the 3rd quarter all week Johnathan Brown says. So study how to play against an opposition that's got a 5 goal lead and can afford to play as if they've got another quarter up their sleeve to relaunch their running+attack/uncontested mark game style?

Fools gold. Players also celebrated those goals like they were up by 6 goals themselves. Embarrassing

Totally agree with that. When Fritsch kicked that goal you would have thought we were 10 goals up. It give an insight into his thinking.

Whoever played on Menzie should be embarrassed

Sparrow. Probably.

I am devastated about watching Kozzy play for another club.

We're a step closer to a new coach I guess.

The sooner the better.

Ahh yes ... That familiar feeling of utter despair watching this club self destruct.
The veil of negativity is like a warm blanket.


So depressing that we will most likely be bottom 4 and we won’t even have our natural 1st round draft pick. Least Lindsay and Langford look good.

But our method is broken and our talent forward of the ball is not good enough

 

I’m 48. I was there in 1988 and 2000… And the Neeld era. But I’ve never been so depressed as an MFC supporter… Maybe my age is showing.

I’ve been on the fence but I think I’m on the “move Goody on” train. Too much talent out on the park to be playing this badly.

FWIW… I think the lads had a good crack.

And Menzie would have to be the biggest list clogger in the AFL. Doesn’t say too much about our backline, does it?

    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.
