Whose the touted #1 draft pick this year? We are already missing hogan 

 

So many key player a out of form. Gawn has been woeful. Has he drunk too much bath water?

 

Working much harder , winning clearances and inside 50s but zero luck.

Melbourne: 15 inside 50s. 0.4

Geelong: 3 insides 50s. 3.0

    And to add salt to our wounds, the umpires are of course incredibly rigged and ripping us a new one

    Even Richo is non plussed.

    I wasn’t expecting us to win this,  it gee whizz. They are giving us a flogging. Boyfriends already called it a night and went to bed, so I have to watch this in my own with no moral support 

    we are all here for you

    Why do we bother


    No forward defensive pressure.  We are putrid.  Hey Goodwin what’s your damn excuse now!!

    Front on contact not paid. Umps clearly not happy with being questioned over last week and Max.

    We’d lose regardless, but terrible umpiring

    4 inside 50s. 4 goals.

    If only we had spent 3 1st round draft picks to shore up our defence so we could rebound.

    • 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?
