Win the last without injuries.

Then bring on the Swans.

    Bit of a lapse but didn't lose the quarter so I'll take it. Need a strong finish! 

    ANB dreadful turnovers that should be goals.

    Panic merchant.

    Let’s be honest here, we’ve played one good quarter and that’s it. Disappointing. 

    Bring this slop the next 3 weeks and we won’t make finals.

    2 goals to one that quarter... getting worse

    Getting worse or nothing to play for? We've won. We've got an unassailable percentage. We have 3 tough games coming up. Why go for the kill?

    Sloppy. I want to see us put the foot down in the last quarter.

    We need to be sharp to beat the Swans. 


    All well and good to be miles in front and obviously I am happy about that but we need to develop a real killer instinct mentality and should be 100+ in front now.

    Exactly

    The Swannettes will be sore this week

    I’d rather us keep the momentum going and build this percentage than worry about the probability of a potential injury. Foot down. This footy won’t win next 3 weeks. Oliver and Brayshaw freaks as usual

    Goody looks nonplussed in the box late in that quarter.    My armchair emotions are a bit more outlandish.

    They’ve been a rotation down since Q1.

    Look at the end of the day I’ll take an 80+ win with no injuries. That said I hope Goodwin does give it to them a bit, some bizarrely stupid decision making and a massive ease off of pressure. 

    I swear since the seven commentators gave TMac a big pump up of his set shots he’s been 50/50. Really should’ve snared that one from a great mark. 

    Anyway 20min of footy left to leave the suns a mess for next week.

    Unassailable percentage? Cats play Suns and Dockers at home. What do you think they will gain in those games? We are wasting percentage again. Hope we out score them by another 6 or so goals this last quarter. 

    normally would be rapt this far in front at the break but really that   qtr       was pathetic,and           oscar please go home

    It’s not easy playing witches hats for 2 hours. They were lifeless and dead at 1/4 time

    Geelong play Gold Coast in Rd23...in Geelong...186 may be under threat

    Too many want to coast when presented with an easy win. Why is This. Mac being outmarked by a midget.

    You've summed it up Jaded.

    One quarter if very good footy then rooting around against a injury ridden bottom side.

    Yes we win. But how well have we played?

    2nd best percentage in the comp with 4 less wins not enough for you?

    4 goals this quarter Jesse and your back in the Coleman race!

    • 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?
