    We might as well not turn up next year if we don't add a pressure element to our forward line eg. pressure small forwards. 

    Also a massive upgrade on our execution by foot.

    Melbourne would be more competitive than GWS today. 

    What a shitshow this is turning out to be. 

    They're playing like us. Over handballing and bombing it in forward.

    We wouldn't have even bothered with his history, our club doesn't take risks.

    Trivia of the day - even before his first disposal just now, Finlay was doing better than Mumford for meters gained.

    Finlayson had zero disposals for 5 meters gained. Curious.

    Mumford has not only metaphorically but literally taken his team backwards  today.

    You wont see the so called "fans" on the bandwagon again. This will turn them off from the sport.

    We do not have the guts or the culture to recruit the likes of Pickett. Gotta have the right kinda wholesome chap you know.

    Every one of Pickett’s disposals has oozed poise and class, extraordinary.

    My mate coaches a team over here and Pickett plays for an opposition team. Before the mid-season draft he told me he thought we should pick him up. Apparently we were interested but it obviously didn’t go any further than that. I’m going to change my attitude and suggest we roll the dice, the clean-cut silver spoon private school-boys aren’t cutting the mustard.

    • 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?
