We’re clearly a better team and will win.

    What a total disgraceful umpiring performance. Welcome to 2021.

    We have this game on our terms. Defence on top. Applying pressure up the field. Port just bombing it in. 

    BB presence making a big difference up forward

    Kozzie is back

    We’re well on our way. 12 goals will win this.

    OMFG that free to Dixon was absolutely terrible, bloody maggots

    Especially when you look at the non holding the man to Oliver which they goaled from.

    16 to 9 frees against us.

    We were doing well and the umps stepped back in.

    But no slow start. 

    Mids are on.

    Anb needs to lift.

    Petty doing well.

    Didn’t the guy tackle him after the ump blew the whistle? If so, it’s 50

    yeah nah, I’m just AMAZED it went our way. 

    Dees will come out firing after half time with that bs goal on the siren. We're in the box seat ladies and gentlemen.

    I’ve had enough of ANB. He is not up to Afl senior footy. I just don’t get it. Don’t wanna hear how hard he runs. Couldn’t give a [censored] about that. It’s not a track event!

    Buuuuuuuuullllllllsssshhhhhhhhiiiiiitttttt free paid against May. Dixon has done nothing, looking forward to May continuing the clinic against him in the second half.

    Now comes our best half statistically. If we can stay on top in the middle we got this.

    Great quarter. Intensity great. 

    Petty has been a star.

    Two small things. Harmes or Jordon need to close down Boak. And stop giving unnecessary free kicks away!

    Still can’t put a side to the sword. 26 points up petracca had two chances to push the 5 goal barrier. Snap missed then should have had a ping from 55 open goal square instead put it on Allirs head. 
     

    Umpiring in 2021 is trash and is impacting the outcomes of games. Get rid of any new rules brought in over the past five years and get the rules back manageable for the umpires to officiate. The current state of the game and officiating is appalling for all.

    So now you can’t tackle. May tackles Dixon, ball knocked free and he gets a free for holding? So we are talking nano seconds in terms of whether the player incorrectly disposes or the tackler is holding the man. Gee it’s a hard game to umpire, they say but maybe that’s because the umpires make it that way!

    good first half need to keep the pressure on and run over the top of this lot. we cannot become complacent we have the opposition, the crowd and the umpires against us. so we need to keep working harder. we play so much better when we share the ball around and play on.

     

    That goal on halftime will keep the boys on their toes at half time -  no complacency…

    • 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?
