Melksham v Hurley summary: High, high, high, holding, push in the back.

No free play on.

 

But yes our problems are still there. Such an easy goal to McD-T Goody's contention is probably that it doesn't matter when all our stars are dominating. But when do ALL a team's stars dominate for an entire season?

    4 unpaid free kicks in a row to Melksham.........unpaid....Disgraceful   .

    That's about 4 throws out of congestion from the Bongers so far...NONE spotted!  

    Mustn't have gone to Specsavers!

    Make that 5!

    Turn around due to spark from C Wagner and Lockhart

    Be careful they’re going to come at us with everything in the 3rd

     

    We are getting hung on to, smacked, pushed, and are getting nothing from the umps.

    In the meantime, if we even breathe heavily near and Druggie player they get the whistle out.

    Disgraceful

    The lift came suddenly! All started with that bit of confidence from Clarry to Melky. Keep it up!

    It feels a little similar to the same game last year.  We struggled early, then everything clicked and we ran over the top of them.  Let's hope the second half is similar to that one tonight.

    that is the worst game i have ever seen,at least geelong looked good in 186

    Stringer is the biggest piece of scum on this earth. I hope his foot blows up. Piece of [censored].

    What a great quarter. Defensively looked 10000 times better, seems our mids got back and supported a bit more. Its funny what happens when you run and make space for your team mates. 

    Umpires missed a few frees close to goal for us there. Need to keep the peptides in it somehow 

    Wagner and Frost have been our 2 best defenders.

    It’s nowhere near as congested as I was expecting it to be

    T Mac being forced off actually created space i50 - putting him on the wing upon return kept that forward line open

    Now keep going Dees

    you are kidding this phthetic

    Theres a heatbeat...


    Shiel is destroying us. Curtail him and I reckon we can win this. 

    We still look miles off, but they worked hard this quarter and finally got some decent ball movement happening. 

    Salem and Oliver are class.

    Wow, what is happening?! I did not see this coming the way we were playing 

    we weren't playing that was the trouble.

    Now they decided to have a dip, and maybe the bummers thought they have us.  easing the pressure off

    We are away now, and should be able to find some faith again.  Our season is just starting now, still rusty, and tactics need a tweak.

    With KK, Lockhart, Wagner x2, all relatively new to team, it took the first to gel. Was much better in second. Pieces starting to click, end to end.

    • 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?
