    Fox Footy just showed footage from Round 1 last year with Gawn getting targeted, I hope this has been reviewed and they're ready for it. In fact I would love to see a few of our players target Rockliff from the start with a bit of niggle.

    I’m excited about this game. Reckon we might shut up some critics. 
     

    I’m a bit further into the booze than I wanted to be at this stage and I just loaded up on Sportsbet- bad combination 

    But ..... who GAF - I’m confident

    I think Port we'll get us in a close one.

    just saw team line up on tv, hope it's wrong when it has Fritta in the back line and Harmes up forward.

    In the post-game last week a couple of the players made mention of what happened last year and that the players hadn't forgotten it.

    Hope you’re right Bitter. Most nervous I’ve been for a game this year.

    Looking forward to spending the next two hours being angry at footy rather than Covid and the stupid people in this world. 
    Bring it on.

    Don't worry. If they try that again, and again early in 2021, our coaches will absolutely take notice and begin the process of commencing to start preparing to plan to counter.



     

    Was Harmes even trying to spoil?

    • 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?
