    Enough Is enough. This is junior football stuff right now. Clarry will get named in our best but the story of his game is much different 

    Deadset anyone who names him in the best is a [censored] idiot.

    Oliver gets dropped. Make it happen. 

    Richmond on one leg in the last quarter.  Goodwin will still say the last quarter was a positive.

    They need to drop Oliver or play him in the forward pocket 

    I actually said the same thing last week he looks jaded in the guts gone backwards.

    The lack of urgency from our players. That kick from Oliver. What a disgrace. He has gone completely backwards. 
     

    4 down on the bench. They are running all over us.

    He literally lay down on May's back.

    Umpires were as bad as our skills today.

    Oliver needs to stick his tackles and not allow players to brush him off.

    They have 3 on the bench. Stuffed and we still stuff it up 


    Umpiring been to Richmond's favour soft frees allowed to throw.

    So that goal from Lynch was Goodwin's fault, right?

    Ultimately? Yes.

    His game plan allows super quick kicks to come into our defence.

    He picked Smith when he clearly isn't ready.

    Clayton Oliver? Jack Viney? Jake Melksham? Jake Lever? Christian Salem? Tomlinson? Simon Goodwin? All auditioning for string quartet on the SS Titanic.


    When the story of this match is written lets not forget they didn't have a bench in the last

    Terrible kick from Oliver before but he's not the problem. The commentators on Fox and 7 have gunned for him all day. He's won a heap of contested possessions.

    Agree MFM. He's got huge tickets on himself and is just about our laziest player. He could be a much better footballer, but he chooses not to be.

    He's smoking his own sweat, or something else because he looks ramshackle and off his tree.

    Get Clarkson. That’s what the $mill before Christmas ? needs to be

    Otherwise we continue to be nothing

    • 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?
