Is our problem predominantly skill-based or structure-based?

I think structure, which eventually, once confidence is lost, leads to skill.

    Wow both those free to use were bullsiht after their got some same. Can we just get umpires who know what they are doing please, it ruins the game


    We're bad but umpires are the main ones controlling momentum atm.

    Essendon a 6-7 goal better team atm.

    Well that wasn’t a free either so there’s the leveller I guess.

    In that last kick into defense why was jones standing 15m in front of the mark in no mans land!  Not pushing back deeper to defend!

    Of course this us the week the bombers start well. They have done nothing for the 1st 2 weeks. Come on Melbourne 


    [censored] these cheating umpires

    They find free men even when we've packed their 50. Unaccountable footy

    They've had 7 scoring shots kicking against a 5-6 goal breeze.

    This is going to be a 10 goal loss.

    Our backline stinks.


    What the hell is going on with our defence? It’s way too easy!

    Poor defending by Hibberd! He has been rubbish!! On par with Bernie Vince of last year.

     

    Pure guts there Nev.

    • 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?
