Oh my god we actually have players at the back of the pack. It’s a miracle!

    Amazing what a bit of scoreboard pressure can do.

    Suddenly the Hawks are not so composed and our frantic game style is working in our favour

    Helps when we hit a few targets

    For sure....Harmes movement from the 2nd quarter also got us going

    Our best quarter of the year will mean [censored] all if we don't bring it again in the last. Can we just bury Hawthorn for once?

    Why you play Salem off a wing!!!

    connection... this is why I wanted Salem on the wing... since earlier in season.

    Start him from the wing...  so he is free from minding a half forward...  but he pushes back to the back-half to assist... and to run and carry forward,  and connect with Forwards. 

    As a good winger should be doing,  anyway.

    Tracc into the middle brings a bit of  space to move in for Hunt and TmAc

    exactly !!!       Tracca is too slow and cumbersome,  on a f/flank.

    He kills our F50 with his lack of.

    Harmed has been outstanding. Back to second half of last year form today

    team balance is happening.

    Wow hopefully we can hold off the 21 hawk players on the ground in the 4th this umpiring is beyond diabolical

    Just heard the best description of a blatant free kick which was not given against Roughead. A commentator called it "the good bloke rule." Enough said.

    School kid stuff. Can't kick, can't handball and still to many in close at ball and no one spreading. Its not that hard !

    We actually disposed of the ball better that quarter and looked for players in the red and the blue. Amazing stuff. Also spreading. Come on boys. 30 more minutes. Hawks off 6 days. They must be tired after chasing us that qtr.

    Harmes has been fantastic. I love Salem on the wing, it's great to have brains out there!

    Much better from Hibbo, too.

    It hasn't been pretty, and we're so low on confidence that you can see the jitters every time we get the ball, but geez if we can bring this home, it might give the boys something to think about.

    Loved seeing a smile on TMacs face, too!

    Let's go Dees! I'm here but have a special guest so only 97% focused instead of the usual 100.

    As good a tunnel ball throw after being done for holding the ball

    • 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?
