Melksham is putrid 

He’s the most selfish bloke out there.

    Wasn’t expecting this. Good effort but we really need to put the pressure on this quarter. This lead is way too easy for them to overcome.

    Thank [censored] they called against cuntington. He is usually given a longer tether than most

    To be fair, that’s the first time we have bothered to tackle him today.

    That is seriously one of the best goals I've ever seen from Kozi in that quarter. Not overly flashy but the work rate was absolutely insane.

    And usually dives forward for the "in the back" when he knows he's done.

    Jake Melksham has made me nearly put my fist through a window at least 7 times today.

    Can't stand the [censored]

    He delivered three balls on the chest that quarter. Not had a great game but it's clear he's better forward of centre. He's trying to create.

    Much better quarter Melbourne. Worked our socks off and levelled up the contest ball. Gives us a fighting chance. Luke Jackson more than did his job in those centre bounces. Hasnt been a good one from Maxy but a big last quarter will suffice.

    Tom McDonald has been good for us since he went back.

    Good move by Goodwin there.

    Goodwin talks about playing your role and sticking to your structures, but he gives this guy a free ride. The mind boggles.

    You and me both.

    My North-supporting mate put $100 on them at 14:1. Not looking like a bad investment right now...

    Let’s hope we both have no clue what we’re talking about.

    His work rate was amazing for that goal. Cyril-esque. Was worried the criticism this past week would have hurt him but he's responded.

    First goal super important. We get it and I think they give up and it'll blow out.

    Next few weeks it gets tough. The fairy tale was never going to last all season 

    We are now being Hunted. 

    Speaking of Hunt...he has been totally Mia.

    One kick....ZERO tackles.

    With Jv out and Oliver having a quiet day it has a huge impact.

    Thankyou Fritta and Kozzie and Langdon and Trac.

    Anyone know what happened to Brayshaw??

    Some half time moves and an increase in work rate and we look a lot better. Great to see the kids in Koz and LJ lead the way. Now surely they dont come back out on their heels thinking its done? Surely...

    Melksham’s role is to kick accurately 

    He did well that quarter. Helps us get back into the game

    Not quite as good, but similar in a way to Farmer's Goal of the Century. Took possession in theback half and gave and received all the way until a goal was scored.


    Fully expecting North to come out firing and red hot to win this. 

    We are still trash in the clearances. Sort this out and we win. Otherwise this will go down to the wire.

    He's not a mid fielder that's for sure.  High HF kicking inside for the hit ups is about it.  Doesn't pressure without ball and when it's on the ground good luck.  I'm not sure a team can carry that one major asset long term.  Or can they?

    Indeed. ?

    (I think it's going to take a few good years to get rid of my deeply ingrained pessimism when it comes to the Dees.)

    • 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?
