Casbolt usually can't hit the side of a barn but against us kicks then from the boundary. 

He has kicked more from that spot than he has missed.

 

Blowing my own ‘travel trumpet’ by reporting in from Lefkada Island in the Ionian Sea (think Rosebud on Steroids).

Ordinary day yesterday: money clip with €70 cleverly lifted from pocket on crowded Athens train. 6:30 am here. Dees win needed so I can get another hour of sleep.

    Umpiring is atrocious and getting worse.

    Backline horrendous today. Defensively we are atrocious. We pay the opposition no respect. 

    Our inside structure up the line is a shambles...too many on the skinny side cost us that goal.  Still amature after 2.5 seasons under Goody

     

    Did they say May went off.

    Why wasn’t Pruess paid 5 seconds earlier ????

    Poor Mary

    Is Preuss a horrible ruckman or am I just used to seeing Gawn?


    Carlton plays confident albeit chaotic football. They are playing well above their weight. Evidently, we are playing well below ours. Carlton will get a run on. They look dangerous every time they go forward. Still think we're set for a 8-10 goal loss. Nothing in that quarter convinced me otherwise.

    Horrible compared to Gawn

    Stupid autocorrect. 

    Mary doesn’t deserve to be called names. She’s not why we are so bad!

    Kreuzer's round the ground play is keeping them in this not to mention our atrocious forward play.

    Theyre amazing what they try over there. I can tell you some stories. Take care out there.

    14 frees handed out that quarter. This is why AFL struggles getting interest in other countries on the game, no one knows wtf is going on.

    I should apply yo be the forwards coach.

    All u have to do is run towards the ball if u get there go for it (the morr fliers the better) no matter how many players are there. Then all stand around and repeat.

    That should have been an 8 goal quarter and almost game over.

    Weideman is not even the shadow of an AFL forward

    • 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?
