1st quarter 

- winning the footy but disposal poor 

- overhandballing still

✅ Harmes on ball (good)

✅ Petracca getting it done. 14 possessions 

- missed tackles are costing us goals 

✅ Pickett is a beauty. Skills. Pace. How’s the leap !!

Oliver’s handball to Gawn then is why he will never be a great player. He chooses terrible options time and time again. He has got worse since he started.

He is too Manic, once he has the ball.   he has to be composed once he wins ball.

    Mix of very good and very poor.

    Intensity was there for 12 minutes.

    Fritta is playing up the ground.

    Salem is cracking in.

    Ball use a couple of times excellent.

    Petracca.

    Bad: Gawn and Tomlinson vying for WoG.

     

    That was an enjoyable quarter of footy. 


    Good Lord I hope bennell gets fit soon. We need his kicking skills more than we need competitive beasts. 

    Am I right in thinking Bedford is a a good kick? If so I'd put him straight in.

    We work so hard for so little result. But we kickec two great goals through agaggresse kicks. I hope they keep it up. Rather lose attacking then lose in a scrappy game of rugby

    Doing well.  Tracc on fire.  We dont ALWAYS have to take the game straight through the middle.  Yes if its there....bit if outlets are closed you are allowed to go laterally or backwards to maintain possession / hold the play up.

    Some cleaner / smarter ball use in the clinches and we're a chance here.

    Great mark by TMac earlier too. 

    He needs to clunk more of those in front of the goals.

    Steven May would want to do something soon. Getting smashed again. Worried we've made a monumental blunder here. Try him forward, Tmac back

    They look and play remarkably similarly. But Hunt’s hair is much more luxurious. Langdon wishes he had Hunt’s hair. 

    It's all in the Nippy's

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
