    This is why Oliver is a star. When the pressure is on Oliver gets going. He is a freak.

    It'll be our fitness vs the home town advantage in the last...

    Oliver is kicking goals. My goodness.

    I guess this game was always going to be tough with thirty 1000 crazy booing crows nuts.

    Sam w may be making way for bbb i think.

    ANB having a shocker.

    When Trac burst through the centre he should put it to the forwards. That handball to Clarrie was a horrible option. If he didn’t like any option coming at him have a shot, he was in range,

    Kozzie should take as many of the kick in marks as possible.  We've given them far too much acreage off that kick in far too often for most if this match

    It’s going to go either way. Unless at least 5 of our players who have put in shockers lift then it’s going to be one long struggle.

    Clarry a gun

    Well we’re being put under the pump, now we see what the players are made of.

    Hunt is showing the lack of composure that got him dropped over the past 2 years. 

    he needs to do better or can’t be risked down back

    when you are playing poorly, do the simple things


    We are very very lucky to have Oliver. He is keeping us in this contest. 
    Need more from McDonald and Trac if we are going to win this.

    Sloppy ball handling, fumbling, luck of the bounce going the other way ... and we're still in front. Now for the final quarter fitness advantage.

    We got on top in that quarter after a very shaky start. Olly Trac and Dogga to the fore. Our fitness will be a big factor in the last. I think we will close it out from here

    What?

    Every time we play a lowly team near the bottom of the ladder we play to their standards!?

    Agree. Also if there is a spoil up the ground it can rebound quickly to him one out.

    • 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?
