    Forwards coach, lol. We get tonnes of opportunities going in, our shambolic defense is the one that needs to be fixed first.

    If we have a goal kicking coach, sack him!

    if we don’t have a goal kicking coach, hire one tomorrow. 

    Our set shots are disgraceful

    Damn right it does Bing.
    Mindlessly bombing the ball inside 50 like morons is just BS.
    Done it all year and the buck stops with Goodwin.

    Agree. Hire one of the traditional full forwards from the era when full forwards kicked goals. We need a kicking coach urgently.

    Its not all the goal kicking technique though someone down there needs the gonads to tell Hogan to at least hold the ball on the correct side of his body for a start.
    For the most part it the weakness between the ears that kills us.

    Nothing to do with the coach. The "system" worked. The actual kicking was the let down.

    Spargo - who I am a huge fan of by the way - was atrocious today. Couldn't kick over a jam tin, rushing his set shots.

    Hogan - I just don't get his constant easy misses.

    Jeffy. That miss on the run while  momentum was moving our way. That is what you are in the team for. Energy sapper right there.

    Jones on the run. One beauty and one shocker.

    Twice in the last quarter a play-on and a slip over cost us walk-in goals. 

    No coach fixes this stuff, players do. 

    Really, really poor.

    Appalling routines and skills for set shots!

    How did these players survive through junior ranks with these set shot routines?

    Oh I forgot, they had great beep tests!!

    Watch closely though, very few of our player have a set routine that they stick to and repeat. Tommy McDonald might be the only one. 

    Hogan’s run up, step count and ball drop are different every time.

    every player needs a set shot routine. It’s the only way to really work out what they’re doing right or wrong to fix and fine tune any issues.

    Ben Brown is the perfect example. His set shots are always to routine. And if he’s off he can look at the footage and fix it

    Our scoring strategy is all about volume of entries to forward 50 - get it in as much as possible and eventually we will score - a strategy that doesn’t work against top teams who find it easy to defend -poor coaching!!

    Hogan runs under the ball every single time.

    And we kick it over his head every single time instead of kicking in front of him to lead into

    Most of our misses occur in general play.
    We lack composure and sheeet ourselves.
    It's between the ears.

    • 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?
