He was a concern SWYL but perhaps not as big a concern as last week imo

 

Fair call. He still has a long way to go

The Wino was fairly quiet so his job may have been to negate his old mate

    Viney needs to be commended for his defensive job on Wines, he was basically a non factor. Viney offence stuff will come.

     

    he had 33 touches? lol

    Viney got destroyed 

    Wines just didn't have anyone else to give it to

    Pickett 4 tackles inside 50, Brown, Jordon and McDonald all 3.

    Love that.

    Seeing Brown with i50 tackles is fantastic.

    Gawn confirming they did a block of hard training around the bye. 

    But said it wasn't a factor in their form slump

    Imagine if we ever convert more than 50% of our shots on goal. What a time to be alive that would be!

    Was thinking the same thing Jaded, would be great if we could turn them into goals.

    Well we can work on that, so happy.

    Imagine if Goodwin played Lever down back for 4 minutes, then in the ruck, then tagging a defender then on the bench then in the ruck again for no reason at all. 

    The no reason is he knew Jackson would smash Marshall in the ruck and our defenders were killing them in the air. 

    The way we play without a lot of uncontested ball use and flooding numbers up and back makes the talls so important and Port’s talls just didn’t have to. So they had to mix and move Aliir.

    For us it’s a matter of whether we can get the same control in the air on the mcg where there’s more space to cover and it’s harder to get pressure.

    Good win on a hostile tract. Good win and how a tall key position player makes a difference. Thaught Brown played quite well. And hats off to Petty.

    Yes a very diplomatic answer from Gawny, not wanting to see any blame for the GWS loss, etc., fall on Burgess.

    In the post game interview Maxy sounds like he's got a bit of a cough. ?

    NOOOOOO, fingers crossed it's not you know what??

    Thought we were outstanding tonight. Structure was on point and Port never knew where to kick, there just wasn't any space. Then when the last resort was to bomb in we just cut it off all night. Our system is exceptional and the players executing it are so committed. 

    Trac and Oliver immense. Salem doesn't know the meaning of missing targets. May and Lever fantastic. Will finish this later want to see the highlights!

    My work mate is Port. As per tradition, I will get in to work before him and drape a flag over his desk.

    Yes, Ken really didn’t put Aliir into a position to succeed.

    It was great.

    Am I the only one to notice they took ages to play our song after the win and only played it once? Even the DJ is salty that they lost by the look of it

    I actually think the doppy aholes started playing the Port song then went I [censored] we didn’t win quick change it.  Idiots.

    • 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?
