Loving that we are playing straight up the guts wherever possible rather than taking the longest route around the boundary! Stops the opposition flood

    Clean up fumbles and we will kick an extra five goals a game.

    At least. It cost us so dearly this year.

    What is it with Queensland stadiums that have seats to fool people into thinking they're full. 

    Because they know they will never fill them

    Forward line again letting us down. Stop getting in each other’s way!


    Gold Coast's strategy is clear:  Play through whoever Oscar is playing on. #football101

    Frosty looking more confident every week. 

    Wagner did some good things too.

    I think Keilty can make it but Preuss will take his spot unless he can crack in today

    21 inside 50's for 3 goals

    We really know how to waste opportunities, and energy.

    Structurally we're finally doing what we should be. Playing a bit more conservative because of our terrible defence.

    Melksham and Hibberd clear #1 and #2 for us so far today.

    We should be miles in front - dominating everywhere except for the scoreboard

    And that looked like a clear goal to me, not a mark

    You should probably get your eyes tested..  You do realise to be a goal it has to clear the line?  ?

    Would like to see the tackles add up a bit more for the rest of the game.

    Interesting that we're still winning the clearances even though Max isn't dominating the hitouts.

    Still, main thing is, it looks like we have actually turned up to play.

    • 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?
