Can Max win a Brownlow to ease our pain?

Nah, Tom Mitchell the accumulator, with his 45 useless disposals a match will win it!

    Selecting a bloke because he is captain. Clearly u havent watched him in the finals.Given absolutely zero. Rawlings needed to make the tough call and leave him out today. Glaringly obvious.

    Wouldn't happen

    Worried about our depth now...not much from our listed players to be happy about in that match.  Garlett gone, Vince retiring, Bugg gone, White has no idea, Tim Smith not up to it, JKH showed a bit, but that's his level, pedo tries but he's not the future.  Hunt has regressed to the point that he isn't near AFL level.  We don't have much......

    What a joke of a telecast.

    Well that was devastating. We led all day until the 13 minute mark of the last term.

    We did not kick a goal in that final quarter, that will not win you a flag.

    What a crap 24 hrs

    This weekend has turned to shizen. Again the old mental weaknesses that melbourne have are at Casey. We played some dumb footy in second half and showed no poise at all.  Bugg, Garlett and JKH can all go and eff off.

    I thought Josh Wagner stunk up the joint in the 2nd half too. Looks like a lame duck final contract year for him.

    Pittonet was the difference. Gave their mids an armchair ride round the clearances

    Well the Coach played a bloke who didn’t get one possession in the Prelim and guess what, he only managed one today. Worst part is he is the Captain. 

    We can say goodbye to Garlett, Bugg, Smith, McKenna, Pedo, Filipovic and King. Vince has retired and I hate to say it, as I thought he could be anything, but Hunt must be on really shaky ground. He was terrible. We need to bring quite a few new players to improve our list.

    That was a pretty awful coaching performance by Rawlings' and co.

    Pedersen had to ruck most of the last quarter. Without winning it at the source they would never get it to him forward. Using Smith in the ruck for so long was a disaster.

    Fritsch was being dragged deep in the backline. Why not move him on to a wing? He'd help get the ball moving.

    Lockhart wasn't very effective mid/forward, he would've given some drive at half back.

    JKH didn't get thrown in to the midfield despite looking like the cleanest mid to get his hands on it. Munro, Bugg both can tackle and crack in but they could never get a clean possession.

    Not surprisingly Jeff was hopeless but where was the use of him off the back of the square to get him in the game?

    It was yet another victory for Clarko footy over the rubbish we like to play and can't seem to drag ourselves out of.

    Yep you saw it the way I did too, we need to find some depth to progress with the gains of this year, quickly....

    Vince. Retired on time

    Hunt.  At the crossroads

    Keilty. Promote to AFL-list

    Tsmith. Vfl level only

    Wagner. Vfl level only

    Bugg. Not good enough

    Fritsch. See huge potential

    Pedersen. Call it time 

    Gartlett. Totally lost interest. 

    Jkh. No more please

    Petty. Still just developing 

    mckenna. We will delist

    For those watching on TV how did Keilty look?

    Dominant. He and Petty looked fantastic together and in the second half probably a little less so. I’d want him signed up by the end of the week. 

    Dont know why the hatred for Hunt here. He broke lines, he put his head over the ball and created contests. He also hit tagets which has been one of his big problems. 

    Also Box Hill tightened up on JKH after a rampant first quarter. Didn’t give him any space so not surprising he wasn’t as influential. 

    Garlett was poor, Bugg tried but he’s not the same anymore. McKenna seems some.

    Tsmith. Vfl level only - good back up 

    Wagner. Vfl level only - back up 

    Bugg. Not good enough - yep

    Fritsch. See huge potential - scary isn’t it 

    Pedersen. Call it time - we cannot only have 18 year olds playing, Someone goes down we need him

    Gartlett. Totally lost interest. - hoping he resets in the offseason 

    Jkh. No more please - if we don’t keep him, he will play afl somewhere else 

    Petty. Still just developing - lot to like 

    mckenna. We will delist - that is true

    You know things are going badly when your Captain plays a whole GF and has more boundary side interviews than possessions. Add to that Garletts CGAF performance and they played 2 short....at least...

    • 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?
