We still seem to manage to stuff things up close in to goal. ?

    Cats are down on players but they play such a stodgy brand of footy. They make us look like Carl Lewis

     

    Strange game, we’re dominating around the ground but not converting... where have I heard this before.

    Goody needs to go absolutely bananas at them, they look like they’re taking the mickey with there finishing into the fwd 50.

    Trac has had a bunch of it. Oliver has started better than last week which is good.

    Intensity has been pretty good, we should be further in front though blew some very easy chances.

    Fritsch has made 3 mistakes that all cost us goals. Get those right and we’d be at least 3 in front.

    It’s hard to know how difficult it is to mark the ball, but we just dropped 3-4 marks that would have put us in a much better place.

    Good energy but costly in some ways.

    Should be further in front but at least we're not being jumped and four goals down.

    Great to see the likes of Tmac and Jones really pushing hard. Even Brayshaw seems to be running hard 

    Hope the weather holds and we run them off their feet.

     I hope they have planned for Hawkins rucking in the forward line, he is very dangerous there.

    I repeat.

    Missing Max in the ruck. Jackson back to ff please.

    Langdon is an out and out champion as is Trac.

    Sharpen skills please Lever and May.

    Jv needs to lift. Started well.

    Kozzie to start kicking goals.

    2.4 to 1.1

    Wasting our chances again just like the first three rounds.  Jack Viney 2 behinds, come on you are supposed to be a leader

    At least we did not give up a goal at the death. Very un Melbourne like.

    We have to take our opportunities. To many easy dropped marks & fumbles. Viney should be kicking those goals. 

    We also have to man up so Geelong can't play this slow game where they chip it around

    • 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?
