All in all we owned that quarter.

Once they got a clean break it was a goal, we fought hard for every score.

4 goals 4 to 3 straight, hope inaccuracy doesn’t cost us again.

    Great start!

    Keep the intensity up!


    Yeah we’re in front but it feels a little ominous. West Coast on a 3 goal run, we’re inaccurate. 

    If that’s the best we got I think we’re in trouble. Hopefully we can step it up again.

    I thought it was against the rules to shakethe goal post as Harmes was kicking

    Great intensity. WC a bit lucky to be as close as they are.

    They boo everything. 

    They even booed when Vanders didn't get the free kick for being legged. I thought that was nice of them.

    Unfortunately that’s the problem. Their score flatters them, our score has underachieved. 

    Keep the intensity up. Weed was okay

    Looks eerily similiar to last week.

    We were lowering our eyes at the start of that quarter, but by the end it was long bombs again


    Great quarter, but disposal and composure under pressure (and even not under pressure) still our Achilles heel. Can't question the intent, but we're still pretty rough around the edges.

     

    We've done this against Hawthorn and Sydney this year for 2 horrific losses. I'm not confident at all based on how the last 10 minutes of that quarter went. Love the endeavour, hate the lack of composure and [censored]-poor defensive transition running

    • 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?
