    Worrying first 5 minutes, strong final 10 minutes.

    From TV it looks like we've again set up well behind the ball. Their goal was from a turnover and one of their missed kicks was from Smith's run through the middle. Other than that, they're struggling to move the ball.

    We look good when it hits the deck in our forward 50 and we've got key players getting their hands on it. Petracca looks excellent. Hannan, Fritsch and Pickett all causing headaches for them.

    What is wrong with Fritsh Goal Kicking?

    He was very reliable when he first played...

    More accurate from 40+ when he must kick through the ball and not overthink i reckon SW.

    Under 40ish out he over thinks imo and tends to try and guide it through rather than kick through with momentum.  Leaning back a little?

    Burgoyne doing a lot of things he ‘never does’

    cant they just say he is playing a bad game?

    Can't they just say his opponents are doing better?

    Viney's aggression.
    Gawn's marking.
    Pickett's speed.
    Petracca's strength.
    Defensive pressure and workrate.

    Our onballers are all on. Brayshaw is butchering it though. 

    Gawn is murdering them in the ruck. If Oliver can tidy up a little we could really slaughter them in the centre clearances. Would make a big difference considering that we've locked them in their defensive 50 quite well.

    so correct

    We're +10 in CPs, +3 in contested marks, and we've had 8 tackles inside 50 to their 1.

    But it's 12 inside 50s to 4. They've scored 1.2 from their 4 inside 50s (75% scoring efficiency), we've scored 3.2 from our 12 (42%).


    Early days, but Jackson looking OK. A bit more at home at this level. 

    Just the 3 contested marks in one quarter from Gawn

    Needs to work on those closer shots

    We need him to kick 1-3 a week

     

    Good stuff Dees!

    Great to see Fritsch slot that late one after missing two easy shots.

    Hannan picking up where he left off last week with a great tackle and goal.

    Max monstrous at the moment. Three contested marks that quarter? 

    Trac is absolutely untouchable.

    • 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?
