I know Davis is not a great kick, which is a pity because I think he has some ability and can play at either end of the ground.

It will be interesting to see how the new coach evaluates him.

    Watch Davis at training R & B IMO he is no better then than on game day.

    Fair point -- I haven't been to training for longer than I care to admit ... :wacko:

    I think his contract is up this year Redleg for a player that will have been on the list for three years with a team that cannot beat time with a stick and still cannot get one game it does not look good.

    He will probably get little thought or attention.

    Sad but I think his gone!

    It has to be his farewell game against his old side.

    Not sure he is good enough to make the Casey side.

    Would like to see Taggart and Tynan get a run before the season ends. They both need the experience and the encouragement to strive harder.

    Broad is following in the family footsteps. His father chris broad, refused to leave the wicket after being given out, in a match in the mid eighties. Graham Gooch had to walk down the pitch and tell him to leave.

    Given the obvious dismissal, young Broad's performance was extremely poor. It is one thing on LBW's and disputed catches, to wait for the umpire, but when you know you are clearly out, you don't cheat. His performance was pathetic.

    Sadly it looks like the Poms will win this test, unless we bat brilliantly in the 2nd innings.

    We are being showed up today by a strong skilful great wet weather side at their home ground.

    Not playing Rodan in these conditions was a big mistake.

    Another Monday not much different to many over the last two years.

    Only 68 points on Saturday

    Two years ago 186 occurred to this day we still do not know the details.

    And whatever they were they may well be the root cause of where we sit today.

    It still amazes me that a group of players with way more ability than the current group could get beaten so badly.

    It's easy when you don't try.

    Not enough credit given to Mark Neeld for engineering such a dramatic turn around in form after the cataclysm that was 186.

    Perhaps we could forward a letter of thanks.

    Along with the cheque for pay out of his contract?

    Then he will be waiting for a year for his letter.

    Add Uni Black drew, kicked themselves out of it.

    But my old home town got up.

    God I am grasping at straws

    Uni Blacks need a speedy midfielder ,who kicks himself out of it, like Dan Nicholson perhaps?

    Only fair really .

    I really hope we don't decimate the Casey side like we have for the last couple of years. They deserve some success for their efforts.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
