Reality check. It's more annoying because now we have to hear in the media about their win. People ask me have I been to gather round. This is why.

So did we get out to a 19 point lead in the 2nd quarter? Ugh it's just frustrating because I thought we could trust this 2026 team. 4-1 would had been great and it would had been nice to extend there losing streak. Thankfully I didn't have to see a second of it. Just hurts after last week's great win. I hate gather round

Why can't we beat essendon?

Um what is happening?

Thankfully I'll be out for lunch today so I won't think about it. But when I check the score hopefully it will be good news. If we win today, hopefully next Sunday we roll into Brisbane at the G with self belief, confidence & a goodcrowd

So the negative side of me & the 2025 & beforehand member thinks this is a game we could drop & it wouldn't surprise me, also it will make me mad if we do drop it. My thoughts are caddy will kick 6, merrett will have a day out & parish will suddenly play his best. The 2026 member sees me as this is a new season, new freshness & I'm confident we'll do this. Our players have more belief & it's a new system. Don't disappont me

I do to. The arrogance of their fans after the 2000 gf, how they thought they'd go on this gf winning streak, the whole peptides saga with them saying we didn't take anything illegal, their obsession with hird. It's hysterical how far they've fallen

Does anyone really miss him? When he & spargo left I though meh. We've got the players to cover them.

Wasn't it? He took that mark like it was a sunny afternoon. Anyway Collingwood lose so that's a good thing.

So I've just seen the score. I'm assuming it's raining, well I hope it is because that's a terrible score

Still no one asked for this

Bulldogs v hawks will be a cracker. Go freo tonight

This result was expected right? Adelaide should have won & it's not like Carlton were ever 5 goals up in the 2nd half.

What the hell was that noise in the background of kings presser? How he managed to concentrate on the questions I'll never know

I'm hoping it was the bulldogs that took their foot off the pedal last week & not essendon doing well. They'll be desperate not to get this losing streak. We must be switched on from the get go. We also need to boost our percentage. Last weeks win will be meaningless if we drop this one

On the Melbourne website under videos there's a short clip on king talking to the players after the game. Said that's the standard now & why good starts are important amongst other things. Hope he enjoyed his glass of red while watching the replay

That was a cracking last quarter

Look I know at times they'll frustrate us & probably under perform but so far they have been fun to watch. Also the media had us at 0-4. Well they've proved them wrong

I wonder if Steven king is even surprised by how well we are going & it's clicked so far. But gee it feels good to wake up Monday morning with another good win. It's also nice to hear parts of the media talk about the exciting footy we're playing

On mmm footy pre game, king was asked about sharp & what he brings. King said he just runs all day & going well & brings effort

Just finished watching kings presser & the match highlights. Gee the Suns players at times were demonstrative with each other

The last few weeks will mean nothing if we stuff up next Saturday. We need to dominate from the get go & crush them. It will then lead into a challenging game against Brisbane

So listening to gawn on abc after the game, it seems king has just given free reign to the players on how they use the ball. Gawn made comments about what he does & if he stuffs up king won'tyell at him. Also said towards the end they wanted to slow the play down & control the ball but the picketts had other ideas

I really like when petty does the ruck. Leaves van rooyen free & he does have a leap. At one point he just smashed it forward

Any injuries to essendon players?
