    What’s happened to Petty’s marking? Seems to be misjudging the flight of the ball.

    His marking has been very strong the last few weeks, same as Keilty

    Dunno what’s going on with both of them

    Troy Chaplin is what’s going on with them.

    Keilty was clunking everything that came his way the last 2 weeks

    Dunno what’s happening today

    Big difference in foot skills. Chandler the only one to maybe get excited about at this stage.

    Gotta be the wind, all our players going up 2 secs too early

    This looks like a complete training drill for the Hawks

    Our easy exits from defensive 50 are an embarrassment at both afl and vfl level - really sub-standard defensive efforts

    2 goals 2 for the quarter with the breeze compared to 4 goals 2 into it...not good!

    They look as bad as the seniors

    Bombing it forward, shambles in defence. Look like our 1sts.

    Chandler and Stretch the only 2 having a go the rest are pathetic. If Smith could kick he might be a good player.

    have never really understood why we exclusively play the same gameplan at VFL as at AFL.

    Sure play it for a half or every second game ...but experiment !!!

    Frankly at VFL level the chaos theory is more of a scrum that does not encourage skills

    So far In: Preuss, Stretch

    Out: T.Mac (if injured) (if not) O.Mac and ANB.

    I can't believe O.Mac gets another game due to this performance.

    Is Chaplin the worst coach in history? Must be close.

    Stretch has been killing it. Showing genuine speed. I'd bring him in for KK.

    Hawks run & carry (able to link up more often with quick ball movement) and have more players capable of side stepping / baulking or turning their opponents to run into space or switch play.  They are more fleet of foot also.  We have mostly slow/pedestrian plodders in comparison.

    They are also hitting so many more targets by foot and finishing in front of goal beautifully.

    have to remember that the Casey team is almost unrecognizable from that which played last year. I'd love KC to give us the numbers but it's probably 50% turnover if not more.

    What the hell was Hore doing? Left his man and allowed him to take an easy. Woeful recruit go back to Collingwood!

    Baker not showing much, pity.

    • 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?
