OMac playing well, at least. Don't think he's lost a contest and has looked far more proactive.

No he has fumbled easy balls causing our attacks to break down and kick has been shocking. A player with better awareness would have touhced the ball on the line.

    West Coast a class above. Whenever finals come round, they'll be front and centre, just so much talent from one end to the other.

    They look really good don’t they.

    How did the dud centre bounce straight to Naitanui not get recalled? That was just a joke.  

    Because it didn't bounce to Gawn

    Alex Neal Bullen 1 disposal that quarter.

    Someone again tell me what he brings to this side??

    Thought we might struggle a bit. You can't name Bedford and Pickett as debutantes and keep ANB in without a worry.

    Losing only one game for the season (given this will probably be the last game) is pretty good isn't it!

    • Haha 1

    what a p*** poor effort, eagles chip the ball around with ease as our players playing meters away from or behind their opponents. another 6 or 7 weeks off may help our players to hand pass and kick the ball to their team mates. To think i have been waiting months for this game to come along.

    depressing first quarter

     

    I remembered watching the Adelaide game and thinking what have they changed in terms of forward set up and tactics, the answer watching that quarter is absolutely nothing. 

    Still long bombing it to outnumbered contests instead of lowering the eyes. Are the forwards leading to space, demanding the ball? (Question not criticism)

    Seriously we are playing against one of the best defences, don’t drop it on their heads!!!

    He's fumbled it twice and still takes 5 years to get foot to ball. But yes, positive!

    We've still got no system delivering into and performing in the forward line. 
    Seems like poor coaching

    If we’d kicked straight, and they kicked crookedly, we’d be well in front, despite Gawn losing hit outs to Nicnat.

    Nullify Gawn, nullify MFC. It's too easy for the opposition to figure out.

    Only saw the least 5-10 minutes.  
    Looked so like 2020 .... randoM inside 50s .... no goals.

    Opposution easy systematic inside 50s .... easy goals. 
     

    What have we learned?


    Forward entry looks like we are still playing 2019 season. Not the start anyone wanted.

     

    Pretty pizz poor so far.

    Would it be wrong and insensitive to want the player's to start needlessly coughing and sneezing?

    Would give us some more time and space ?

    Horrendous. We have learned nothing and improved nowhere.

    • 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?
