Martin is on fire. Whoever is on him, is struggling. 

Maddening domination for zero reward.

Imagine if we were clean?

 

TBH our skills around the ground has been decent, but our conversion in f50 is poor.

Keep giving them easy shots tho.

I'm out all day so I'll be keeping tabs on my phone.  As I can't discuss the game with all you wonderful* people, I'll leave you with these:

- A 5 goal win is fine.  In fact, ANY win on the road is fine.

- Dom Tyson is the best disposer of the football in the AFL and will hit target after target today.

- Don't [censored] your pants when Gold Coast kick the first and then refer to the lead up play as 'reminding you of the Mark Neeld days'

- ANB should be a long distance runner at the next Olympic Games.

- Dees to win... by 5 goals...

 

*Most of you are wonderful...

Brian Taylor certainly agrees with this assessment of the mighty Dom T.

Amazing how frigging blind most commentators are: they see what they want to see...

Nibbler!

 

Donsnt look like we have found second gear yet


8 inside 50's for 3 goals. 18 inside 50's for 3 goals.

We have been wayyyy too easy to score against this year. We really do open ourselves up on the counter-attack.

Yep, time to put a hard tag on him.

Umps inconsistent on this.

 

We can overuse it like no one else - and our inside 50 structure still doesn’t look convincing (not sure what it is!).

Very very disappointing. Dominated then dropped off. Why the [censored] do we refuse to leave a tall one out in the square??????

  • 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?
