Damn Dec screwed up that one

Casey lacking a momentum /possession slow play option and not sticking enough tackles

 

36 minute quarter. 50 metre penalty on the siren... and... goal to Flip.

He wasn't keen on delivering inside fifty there.

First couple of minutes a good example of where the Tigers are great and where the demons lack.

 

First I've seen of Baker. He seems taller than his listing. And heavier looking.


Alice took on one tackle, broke that, ducked his head on the next.  Awful awful decision resulting in a goal

Anyone got a score update? ✌?

47-50 to demons. All Tigers the last 20 minutes tho.

 

And another awful decision....defender being tackled kicks a quick instinctive kick from 50...bounces, wobbles along the wing about 15 meters...goes out.  Deliberate! 

Wow. Not that I'm not grateful that there's a live stream... but the camera couldn't find the ball for about 30 seconds there. And the commentators are getting worse.


Lol....toiges player handballs it to the line....over.  No deliberate!  you have to wonder eh

Tigers hit the front. 54 - 50. Tigers looking a cut above in the clinches in the last 30 minutes.

you would think mfc would put teams up by now 1sts and 2nds but it is of course the mfc,good grief they dont care about the supporters who tip their dollars in every year

Have Richmond named their team?

Getting cut up atm. Overdoing the handball and have lost all forward structure. Playing a lone small out of the goal square. Sound familiar ? 


tigers dominant since the 20 min mark of the first term

hannan and bugg both know how to find the ball; neither has any idea how to use it

both have handballed multiple times directly to the oppo in attacking positions; some really bad decisions by hand and foot

2 Hannam errors cost goal.

Shocking turnover. I wonder if its just that he's not used to playing that far up the ground? or?


Apart from Pedders working for it, our big men do not take enough marks around the ground to provide any relief against the tide and are too easily pushed off the ball.  No physical presence.  No big grabs.

Hannan good early but two turnovers looking to go inside this quarter.  Bugg a horrid one in the first.

Nice work from Munro, Spargo and JKH for the finish there for the goal against the run.

 

It's frustrating knowing what some of these kids can do, but seeing the roles they're being asked to play. Spargo is playing as a target like he's a FF. Baker's being given no opportunity to run. Coach them to their strengths, surely.

  • 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?
