I blame (in no particular order):

- The surface of Gosch’s Paddock

- The training staff 

- Jesse’s boots.

You forgot:

- the camp

- going to the AFLPA instead of the coaching team

- Jack Watts

- Norm Smith curse

- Jack Watts

- Dom Tyson

- Oscar McDonald 

- Jack Watts


It's his gait. I have been saying for a very long time.

He walks and runs like a pregnant cow.

He is bandy legged as well.

He must be putting a lot of pressure on other parts of his body because of it.

Trade him.

No send him to the Richmond doctor.

seriously we have seen the flaws In playing players with foot injuries. Put him out for the rest of this year it is not as though we are going to make finals let alone do anything. 

We need him fit and firing in the first game of 2019, 2018 is already a bust.

You could add:

- Nath Jones' leadership

- ANB

- Goodwin not being the right guy

Don't care what anyone thinks if he is out of the side it's a bad loss.

He's not a F-Forward.

You forgot James Harmes' post-game interview. Definitely a major factor in Jesse's foot issues.


I do find this potential injury interesting. Some have been saying he's been injured in the leg department for weeks, how come no scans beforehand? It's also interesting that his injuries seem fine when playing lesser teams like GC the week before and he moved around freely.

Exactly.

He looks a million bucks when we're beating up on GC and Brisbane.

He looked injured to me last week at training. But I would have said it was a sore back. They were doing some sprints and he was well back and taking very short strides.

But before hanging the medical department at the club I also thought Harmes looked like he had sore groins or hips. Harmesy was great on the weekend. Buddy doesn't train all week but gets up for the games. They say a lot of players are carrying stuff towards the end of the season. I don't know how it works.

I would also add that Gawn looked fine jogging around the boundary and I'm sure the way Melk and Hibberd trained if Sunday was a final they both would have played. I don't think its fair to slander the medics coz it can be a pretty inexact science. Whos to say if Bernie had of played in the ones and Hunt in the twos both players would still be fine. Sliding doors.

My back hurts even when I hear the word "sprint"

  • 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?
