We got Dunkley when we could have got Pickett? Bloody hell.

And so could possibly 16 other teams too. An inexact art / science is recruiting

    Pickett coming to a club that plays with no purpose would not have helped him.

    I wonder if Goody and Co were watching and thinking "we are no wear near this level"?

    Small Forwards, pace, foot skills and turnover pressure, is all he should be thinking about over the break and pre season.

    All we need is

    A home ground

    A dynamic president

    Recruiters with a vision

    A development program

    A skilled coach

    A club culture

    A dozen or so extra top line players.

    Sounds like the exact opposite to where we've been heading doesn't it

    Would have to have been one of the most boring GF's after quarter time.

    Sure they have a lot of talent, but GWS remain a cultureless franchise.

    Pickett wouldn't fit into Goodwin's "handball around aimlessly in circles until we turn it over" game plan.

    Just heading home after a thoroughly un entertaining game.  Tigers now with 12 premierships, equal with us.  The best team over the last 12 weeks won this day, deservedly so.  Regardless it was dullsville at the G and not representative of a great season. A pity for us neutrals.

    Hopefully the Storm can roll the Cronksters tonight...

    Saw our game in Perth in round 9. We put in a good show for over half the game but as you say when WC went up a gear it was all just too hard for us. We more already less gave up the season then and there,  That game summed up our whole shocker of a season.

    Might have helped if Goodwin reviewed the preliminary and gave them some direction.

    Many ways are learned through many years. Call it experience.

    Richmond finished last year exactly the same as we did. 

    It’s all just too hard, when it counts

    That Round 9 game was our best performance for the year. The peak. 

    collapsed after that

    It would take a dull brain to not see what it takes to win a flag and not compare where we are to where we need to get to. Each to there own though, ignorance and denial helps some sooth the pain.

    • 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?
