Miles took on a tackler...beautiful tackle.....drops ball. Play on.  Umpires refuse to pay against the Toiges more often than not!  Awful

    Bugg grabbing at his hip. I think he copped a bad corky from the blonde Tigers scumbag.

    Bugg injured in that mark.   Hobbling off.  Suspect a bad corkey with player laying knees in late

    Cssey's on-ball brigade make a no name on-ball brigade sound like rockstars.

    Which is why equating their performance with Melbourne's idiotic.  But I knew it wouldn't stop some.

    A lot of AFL-listed players in there for Tigers, aren't there?

    Was that you clapping on the half forward flank when Bugg hobbled off with a corkie?

    Pedersen... excellent first quarter but not much so far in the second

    To be fair it hasn't been down as often as the first and the delivery's been pretty ordinary under a lot more pressure....or just ordinary!

    Not quite. 

    Does anyone want to list Casey's midfield today ?

    Our skills are deplorable. Looking over the whole list, we might only have a small handful of players that know how to dispose of the footy.

    I might have misunderstood. I'm hearing some names of players that have played a lot of senior footy in the AFL, and that have good futures. Bolton, Markov... and some other like Miles who get no love. They're no names in the AFL... but in the VFL?

    As for us, yeah, a lot of NQRs.

    Did they play for Cssey ?

    You may need to read my post again.

    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.

    spot on RN.  this a is a demons issue, club wide.

    We have to look to getting some centre-line players who are strong in the air,,, as well as with the legs, and feet.

    If we are leaking a [censored] tonne of goals in both senior and reserve teams then something isn’t working in the game plan

    I don't think Our game plan is solidified just yet.  WE seem to be searching and adjusting, nip here tuck there to see which balance suits us.

    I expect more experimenting this season as we churn our list, introducing more into the senior team.

     

    I think we will make the lower part of the top just.  we are still in a transition phase, Re list and maturity.

    We at Melbourne do not value midfield marking anywhere near enough. we look for runners only.

    Midfield marks are crucial to ease pressure, and to reset play, going into 50.

    I'm hoping this will eventually be Weide's forte.

    After 11 years of not making finals we are in transition phase and stil trying to work on our game plan? When is your plan for making finals, 2028?

    And BTW it would be good to have players with legs and feet. Do you think before posting?

    True...was not meaning it as a criticism.

    Tigers look to be bigger bodied.

    Since half way through the first quarter tigers have been by far the better side.

    Maynard, Bugg, Hannan, JKH. Our senior players and they all butcher the footy. Our list severely lacks class.

    Yep... I see a lot of sausages out there TK but not much sizzle.

    Not enough run either.  Apart from Hannan and Gent the run seems to be lacking that would help stretch the opp and use their energy up chasing us instead of too much the other way

    • 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?
