Melksham and mcdonald letting us down

Well some absolute cracker jack stuff i've managed to pull out here.  Keeping in mind i take responsibility for none of these choices other than (maybe) the Wolf Blass yellow label during a moment of weakness?

1.  The renowned well aged 2017 "Frame Story" shiraz.   It at least states "wine of Australia" on the front so i'm reasonably confident it isn't an assassination attempt from the CCP or Kim il Jong.  Regardless i feel i could still end up 6 foot under cracking this one.

2.  A 2016 De Bertoli Siiraz - Grenache.  A tad more confident but still in it's infancy.

3.  A 2013 Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz.   Passable?

4.  A 2010 Wolf Blass Yellow Label.  As above?

Over to you!

Try the Grey label and throw the rest out!

If , however, we blow this lead, drink the lot

    Our tackling is a bit soft. Need to improve that. McDonald is trash.

    Fritsch is there to kick goals because he doesn't do much else

    Great start outside of the kicking for goal.  We have been all over them and look the better side.

    One thing that has been good is our efficiency inside 50.  We have looked dangerous every time it had gone in there.

    Tom Mcdonald is a nice kid but he's finished as an AFL player. Jones likewise.

    Go away McDonald and Jones, they are either not fit or passed it

    Why he keeps picking them I do not Know

    Tmac is poison at the moment, what's up with him?

    We gotta clean up these fumbles and Hollywood handballs.

    Big chance here. Just need to believe we can polish off our work and not be wimps in front of goal as always.

     

    Tmac is not afl standard. Has the turning circle of the Queen Mary and is avoiding contact

    Should be 5 goals plus.

    Sounding like a broken record but T Mac. Just wow. His clumsiness is so costly..

    We will probably regret that last 6 minutes

     

    We were all over them up to then

    Embarrassing to watch McDonald play. He moves in slow motion. It’s just so frustrating. 
    Melksham another player who is only getting a game coz he’s besties with Goodwin. Hannan gets dropped for doing about as much as Melksham every week.

    His play on the forward flank after Pickett booted the ball forward was cringeworthy.  He actually beat Moore to the ball and just put one hand out, as if he didn't want the contact.  He could have taken possession and made something of it.  It was terribly soft and reflective of where he is at as a footballer.

    Dunn probably upset about the sleeveless.

    Nowhere to stash the Winnie blues.

    We should be further in front. Really should have kicked 4 or 5 goals, Fritsch should have nailed his and the one where TMac had a snap we should have found a goal too.

    vandenBerg has already turned it over two or three times.

    TMac genuinely looks done.

    Petracca's having a poor game so far.

    Oliver dominant, Brayshaw playing well, defence holding up pretty well.

    • 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.

      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?
