    We look great today.

    Dry conditions suit our style of play.

    Bummer those two losses against Freo and Swans We’re in pouring rain and howling winds.

    Opposition who don’t bring intensity & effort suit our style of play.

    Much better 2nd quarter. Oliver kicking the ball now and is 100% efficient, viney not trying to take tacklers on and just getting rid of it, fritta kicked a goal and our backline going ok. 

    Joe Daniher statless

    Mitch Brown looks good leading up  

    Ouch!

    Did you guys know that Stewart and Weideman have a connection to Collingwood?

    Fascinating.

    ANB having a cracker. He needs consistency. Do this every week son

    Yes give him credit for good play. That collect when he was going to get hit and then a lovely goal was great. Stick it up me son and become a good player, I would love it. Now keep going for the second half.

    Love watching this - to see us playing with movement, hitting targets, almost everyone contributing.

    But Essendon are dreadful. Neeld-esque. Some of their chasing and defensive efforts are embarrassing. We really can't take too much from this game so far. 

    But I m loving it. Dees thriving. Bombers annihilated.

    brown is the missing link forward so glad he is getting a go at it, the weid go at the ball son

    I wouldn't be getting too excited just yet.

    We should be far more than 28 points up. They are absolutely atrocious. But they are a confidence team and despite their defensive pressure being terrible they're still generating inside 50s and getting some looks. If they get an early goal or two, or worse, if Daniher gets his hands on the ball, we know we can concede goals.

    Fritsch's goal kicking is getting worse.

    Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Langdon, Salem and ANB all playing really well.

    If this is our last game, Hunt, Brown and ANB are giving the club something to think about.

    When Fritta missed the target right n front of goal in the second quarter and the Essendon player ran the ball out just typifies our season to date. 
     

    HOPELESS

    Also fritta cant kick for [censored]. He needs to learn over the off season or learn in the seconds. Pathetic.

    Mitch Brown 13 possessions and 7 marks..  this guy should have been in the team all season, especially ahead of T Mac.

    Good pair of hands.

    So far so good. I can see why people have been whinging about Viney. As soon as he gets the ball we lose it.

    i dont like that hunt is playing a good game coz its so one off and then we'll be asking how he got a new contract again this time next year

    Now just need melbourne to keep on doing what they did in the 2nd quarter. Just bury them. 

    Seriously daniher not worth 2 round draft picks. He was getting beaten by joel smith. 

    Roped the dope.

    Ess, had the impression after the first, that it was all too easy.

    Now to see if ruthlessness is in our game.

    We should go on with it and win the next two quarters.

    Mids working well, the team finding space, great pressure and tackling.

    Liked that we tried a different game plan in the first and then got into our fast style in the second.

    Need to be able to switch it up during the quarter.

    Edited by kev martin

    Had a solid bet on dees over 39.

    I hope they don't showboat from here. Should be 3-4:more goals up as it is.

    Smash them redlegs

    Needs to talk to a psychologist, he is obviously pressuring/stressing, himself into poor kicking. It is a confidence issue.

    Sam Weideman handballing to Jayden Hunt for the certain goal is one of the best things I've seen in recent weeks. Weed hasn't kicked a goal in a long time and didn't need to give it. Much respect.

    • 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?
