One of the best games I’ve seen Lewis play in the red and blue 

He was great last week too.

    We should be aiming for a 150 point score but our skills won’t allow that.

     

    What odds Harmes for Brownlow?

    Harmes, ANB and Tyson are the only players holding our team back.

    If we can find a good replacement for them then we are looking very good.

    I have only seen bits and pieces but ANB and Harmes are going hard at it and doing their bit.  Tyson does some good stuff and some awful stuff

    Boy can we make it any harder for ourselves?

    What was that hanball from max in the last 30 secs?

    We are a strange bunch.


    How many times this year has Harmes been penaliseud for holding the ball. We  seem incapable. Of burying sides.

    Anything less than a 6 goal win would be unacceptable.  Bury them Melbourne.  We are dominating.  Big last quarter. 

    Happy with a win but we really should be pushing for a 50+ point final margin.

    Geez so inaccurate. We are bossing them in every aspect of the game. It’s just frustrating we deserve more.

    From the AFL site:

    "Melbourne has stretched the lead to 32 points at the final change after a tighter quarter. The Demons have entered forward 50 on 63 occasions, already above their season full game average (57.7) and the most by any team to three-quarter time this year. "

    One day this team will click ... hopefully I am alive to see it

    • 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?
