Tracc a solid game tonite.  Loving the mid field starting 3 of Tracc, Brayshaw, Viney ..mostly no Jones, Viney & Clarry.  Much better Goody

 

We have won the game, now time to kick the goals we should have done in the 1st 100min

 

Hogan wow.... so far off being a good key forward right now

 

I’m off the Hogan station wagon

officially a couldabeen champion 

huge potential but needs smarts, real application and intense desire at the footy

hugely frustrating 

Are all you ANB whiners going to give him credit for the goal, or do you only pipe up in the bad times?

ANB might miss a few, but he's clearly best 22.

probably is...says something about what we have at VFL level

Spargo just made a contest then and was penalised.  What in the world was it for?  This isn't netball.

Dont let that goal fool you he has been [censored] house tonight well and truely deserves to be dropped.

Both mentally weak 

Are you a fan, last thing he is, is weak, trained like a demon to make the most of limited skills, huge running effort, and you call him weak... fair dinkum NFI

So disappointed with garlett tonight. 

Some of us tried to point out he has no form.


This is a different MFC to last week. Much more desperation. Is goody holding family members hostage, Taken-style (anyone got a hotline to L.Neeson)

Hogan is almost afraid of leading at the footy in the forward line. Look at how his defender played the ball and marked it on his chest. That's what Hogan should have done.

He barely leads then keeps losing 1 on 1's - contested marks are just not his game at the moment  - I'd get him out of the forward line and just leave T Mac deep.   He's in a real rut.

And who are you gonna bring up? Bugg? Worse kick, worse endurance.

Another Viney Bullet handball. 

Viney & Jones ...crazy chit from experienced players, especially in the slippery conditions

I feel for ANB a bit.  Clearly he is getting everything out of his abilities, but too often he misses an easy shot, or takes a wrong option and it really lets him down.  If he can clean that up, and I think he can do it, then he could be a really handy player in our side.  As it stands he lets himself down too often, but you are right to argue that he is certainly not weak.


need to kick a few more and take away some percentage from this hell hole.

A few late goals to freo would really top it off !!

Typically - what does one do with players in a rut? Send to the 2s?

FFS, we're over 50 points up in Darwin. You'd think we're down by 80 with some of the negative Nancy stuff

  • 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?
