Man you look at Geelong and go wtf.

Then you look at what they're done this year and apart from a solid win against Port away. They haven't done all that much.

That highly improved defense is looking average.

    We need to get Neeld into Richmond somehow.

    I wonder if the 'greatest TV audience ever for AFL' for the Suns vs Power eventuated either?

    Even with the ratings competition being anti Japanese WW2 propaganda movies and that giggling old bloke who tells those bloody oddball folk stories on the radio, I'm sure it will get an A grade pantsing.

    Nice result for us if Essendon beat the Cats ... assuming we do the right thing tomorrow.

    Also hope Essendon win because they will be the talk of media perhaps also Geelong for flopping once again. Means if we somehow lose we might not get the usual flogging we often get.

    of course it is slightly overshadowed by the Chinese Royal wedding watchers (or some similar excuse).

    Will be interesting to see which club is offered up as the sacrificial lamb next year. Freo and West coast are closer travel wise but no way will either of them give up a home game.

    Can't get my head around why for not footy on telly in China. They could be doing boat loads of tourist promo for china to get Aussies over there. Certainly better than mythbusters. (In NNSW so apologies if on in Melb)

    Gee geelong what is wrong with you. Essenscum are easy to beat. You are playing a team that lost to Carlton.  You are meant to be a team of superstars. At least you have the 3rd quarter to bounce back. Maybe the players thought it was just going to happen.

    Essendrug must have scored well during the week. I am surprised.

    It’s a pity the MCG has the grand final for the next 50 years. A grand final in Shanghai could draw at least 13,000.

    Ess Cats...wtf...?

    Im sorry but if geelong lose this then they need to be scrutinised because how they can be held goaless in the 2nd term against the worst performing team is a disgrace.  

    It makes our r1 loss even worse with the scum beating them.

    It is very hard to get a read on Geelong this year. I think they're terrible, but every time I tip against them they win, so I keep getting lured back in.

    Same here, but have always thought they're pretenders.

    Lots of strategic free kicks paid in the first half just at the right times. After half time, game over, that's when they started paying what should have been paid.........

    Lol, suck [censored] Jeelong, getting thumped by a bunch of drug cheat losers!

    • 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?
