    yep....like newspapers the club is slowly dying OD.

    We're there to make up the numbers these days.

    Going to be hard times for a few clubs post 2021 and the power clubs will show their teeth. Kennett has already had a go.

    They had 4 a piece in the first quarter and were actually playing fast attacking football.

    So is it safe to assume the norm has returned?

    Carlton appear well Coached. Whether they win or lose today, they are playing well and continually finding loose men up forward. They appear to know exactly what they are doing and  are an improved side.

    Hard to say this but Carlton have gone right past us as a football team since we towelled them up in the first quarter of round 2.

    Smart recruiting and a coach that plays players to their strengths.

    They've sped right right past us alright.

    That was silly/selfish of Dixon.

    Rushed his set shot because he was concerned about the ump sending him off for the blood rule.

    Like the Geelong vs Carlton game.
    Port should be up by 20.

    Port after the siren.

    That was a cracking port/blues game.  Port lucky not to lose it in those last 3 points from dead in front, gray saved them.

    Fun Fact. Essendon have four wins.  Three of them are against; Kangaroos (17th)  Swans (16th) and Freo (14th) and next week they play Adelaide (18th).

    Meanwhile, Hawthorn, at 13th, is the lowest ranked team we've played against and next week we have Brisbane.

    Our destinies are somewhat woven together because of the missed game, but it should be fun watching Essendon slide as the season goes ahead while we have a whole bunch of difficult teams we wont need to see again until finals.

    Definitely looking forward the re-match, too.

    If we're any good (today will tell us a bit about that), then I agree with you.

    We'll still have games this year vs Adelaide, North, Sydney and Fremantle.

    I hate the phrase "gone past us".

    Interestingly, if we win today, we'll have as many wins as Carlton, with a game in hand, and if we win by roughly 46 points, we'll pass Carlton on the ladder (with that game in hand).

    Yes, we could also lose and stay in the bottom 4, but the idea that Carlton has "gone right past us" is a bit silly IMO.

    • 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?
