  • Can’t believe the ruck tactic didn’t hurt us. Just shows how poor Preuss is, thank god Gawn wasn’t ready to come back. He’d have made us pay.
  • Melbourne are so sh*t.
  • Jeez our 2018 draft is looking better by the day.
  • Thought it was going to be an arm wrestle for 4 quarters but serious credit to Bevo on out coaching Melbourne in the second half.
  • Like the look of Preuss. He could play first ruck for us. English didn’t play in the middle for the entire second half.
  • When Bevo was interviewed at half time on Fox you could tell he was ready to get into the rooms and sort some things out.
  • Bevo is still on track for a flag from 8th on his resume.
  • We are a better team than Melbourne even though they look great on paper.
  • Lipinski had the most pressure applied to his touches and went at 90 something percent, best against a Melb player was Trac and he went at 50 percent.
  • I am still a Gardner-loather. Did some ok things but nearly gave Weiderman and McDonald their Majak medals.
  • Fortunately for us if there is one side worse than us at butchering The ball and making poor decisions, it’s Melbourne.

    Fair play to them. They belted us and are a superior club at present.

    Going into the match I felt like we were evenly matched and and placed in the same area on the ladder. I think they are good enough to be a top 6 team, we're a 7th-10th team.

    Outplayed and out coached.

    • 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?
