Is Gawn struggling with the captaincy? 
He’s having a shocker.

    Geez, I haven't seen Gawny play a game like this for ages. He seems crook or something.


    Better but still wasteful. 

    Surely Stafford is on thin ice.  no forward structure last season looks like its continuing here.

     

    Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

    Yeah something's off. Looks very lethargic.

    Absolutely ****house!! Seems like the lads don't want to be there.

    I'd wager most of them actually don't want to be there and I don't blame them. Pointless playing AFL under the circumstances.

    Only three highlights. Performance of Viney, Lockhart and Pickett.

    Performance of Gawn, brayshaw, TMac, Tomlinson, Oliver, Melksham, Brown, etc has been pathetic.

    Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

    I know it’s in fashion to beat on OMac but he’s been very good. Has done more than May and Lever

    So many player’s disposals have been terrible, but Hibberd’s have been nothing short of damaging to us. 
     

    I’m annoyed that this season stoppage is going to take the heat off Goodwin. He’ll likely stay coach till 2021, by sheer default. I cannot wait till we have a real one.

    Oliver, Brayshaw and Gawn are MIA.


    After watching the first half, I'm certain the team has the coronavirus.

    The symptoms are all there:

    - Fatigue (walking around)

    - Coughing (up the ball)

    - Fever (explains the poor decision making)

    Hoping for a full recovery in time to make the finals this year...

    Honestly... Ive hated Goody's game plan since he implemented it. Can look amazing when it clicks. Dominating the game but bombing into the forward lines followed by the easiest transition for opposition goal is terrible to watch. So frustrating.

    Remember when we had Paul Roos who was defence first and focused on reducing fumbles. Wtf happened to that? How did we 'transition' to this chaos ball rubbish?

    My husband said he looks sick. Maybe he’s not well (no Corona jokes). But it’s the worse game I’ve seen him play for some time.

    • 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?
