Our kicking is poor. As usual.

Lucky omac can hit a target.

 

Some OK signs but just as many worries. ANB, Petracca, Brayshaw, Tomlinson decent.

Jetta, AvdB, Oliver and few others well off the pace.

    Good pressure so far. Just need to capitalise on the scoreboard more.

    3 set shots missed! We just have to fix that or we waste another season. Wasn’t Lewis taken on as goal kicking coach? He is commentating but not taking ownership. 

    Hawthorns disposal have been garbage as well- it’s the wind.

     

     

    Come on  Dees!  Preseason  or not Hate losing to the Mongrel Hawks. Stressed before the season actually starts.

    Weid needs to start clunking marks. 


    Poor skill from both teams. All the summer training and they are still rusty.  MFC dominate inside 50s with little scoreboard impact or pressure. 

    whyyyyyyy can't weed mark it

    he gets to the right spots time and time again, his second efforts are good, his kicking is generally sound...but he just doesn't clunk the marks

    He did down back I think that might be his future.

    One day Weid will take a mark. 

    Yes. Built like Tarzan but plays like ... well he should be stronger at marking the footy like he really wants it. 


    Really glad we've sorted our goal kicking over the summer...

    Did at Casey too 

    The funking hilariousness of blanket statements being made on the basis of a qrt. It’s preseason, for all :)

    Langdon is a 10/10 pick up. Love him. 
    He is fast and he can kick. Already he’s 100 times better than anyone we’ve had on a wing in the past 4 years.

    Super kick from Milkshake.  Love him from that distance.

    Great link up play too.

    Skills aren't great, true, but the conditions aren't exactly conducive to it.  Slippery all round the ground.

    • 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?
