Rivers and Lockhart - very good kicks: what we need.

    Might only be a scratch match but there are players here clearly trying their hardest to make an impression and impressing they are. 

    Some of the ball movement out of defence has been first class and intensity is through the roof.

    Fritsch behind from a set shot

     4.12.36 to 3.2.20

    I could go back to 2019 match reports and copy and paste about 500 comments asking. Why Isn't goal kicking coached and practiced at training?


    Good forward pressure and tackle by Bedford. Reward for effort with the set shot Goal.

    Rivers kick a few minutes ago out of the back 50 was a beauty. Allowed us to open up the whole ground and transition quickly  for a shot on goal. Hope to see him in the seniors this year.

    Isn’t Lewis our goal kicking coach? 

     

    Field kicking has been good, just not goal kicking. 


    I wonder how far Spargo can kick. I dont know if he can cover > 35 meters.

    WHAT THE HELL IS STAFFORD DOING?

    How is a former ruckman the goal kicking coach? On researching this he kicked 141 goals 66 behinds during his career, so he did spend some time forward. FWIW, I played a lot of my amateur football as a ruckman and take offense that stereotype us as poor kicks. Having said that, if you had Matthew Lloyd or Greg Stafford as your two options........

    Loving our transitions but by golly, Gus looks rusty!

    He looks a fair way off teh pace, which is ok, Swallow looks better than him. It may take a while for Gus to get going. He wouldnt be on the plane to Perth in my team at the moment, looks like he needs block of games.

    3QT 

    6.12.48 to 3.2.20

     whoever the Casey boys are they’re doing alright. 

    Either you're a prophet, or the stream is on a delay...!

    I think the best thing to come out of this game is that it looks like we have depth, more so than ever. Its exciting.

     

    Thinking about a pint or two at Hardemans after this if anyone is keen. 
    Meet a few of you desperado’s.

    • 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.

      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?
