He was quieter that term, but I like what I've seen.  Brave, has some zip, neat user of the footy.  He has a future.

Free kick count now 23-11

Looking forward to razor ray getting on radio and saying the [censored] count should have been 28 - 5

    These two teams won’t be contesting anything other than spoons anytime soon.

    The umpiring is appalling.

    But we're still our own worst enemies.

    The ball was largely in our forward half that quarter but we kicked 1.3.

    Kudos to Oliver for improving his game from last week. Bursting from stoppages, breaking free from tackles, it's been a really important step in the right direction.

    Lever and May have been huge.

    So many passengers though.

    This is a joke and not a word from the commentary. Eddie would have popped a vein if this was against Collingwood. 

    Their not interested.

    I’ve never seen a game with so many stupid soft free kicks given while missing the absolute obvious ones. It’s extraordinary.

    Yeah but they go to the crows every time.

    We need a royal commission into umpiring at Melbourne games. FMD. 

    also, am i the only one that finds that whole commentating team really annoying and frankly, obviously biased.

    May and Lever really shone in that quarter. Gus also has lifted. Melksham conspicuous by his absence - again. Oliver and Viney very good.

    This umpiring is terrible.  Funnier thing is that Melbourne has been worse

    This game is mind blowingly horrible. Just. Horrible. 

    Goodwin is not the future and neither are some of our players. This is meant to be a response game, its horrendous. Blame umpires all you like but we putrid.

    Wo's going to stand up and wi us the game

    The crows players literally get a free anytime we lay a tackle. They just throw their head back at the bottom of a pack and the umps fall for it every time. 

    They will get over 30 free kicks tonight... Pretty much the same amount of free kicks for two teams combined for an entire match.

    High tackle? For what!??

    What is the High tackle rule? Is it contact above the ankles? This is doing my head in. That must about 6 high tackle frees to the Crows so far and none of them were dangerously head high in any way. Then we have had numerous in the backs that were nothing of the sort.

     Add all the ones we’re not getting. Worst I’ve seen in a long time and I am an expert at complaining about umpires.

    Well it’s going to need a 4 quarter performance.      But we are not playing too bad.  Just kept it up.   Hope they do not run out of puff. !!

    • 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?
