Back to kicking long without looking, while they look for leads. Who’s up the top again?

So hard to watch.

Hawks have turned this into a scrappy Auskick game and it's working

Any chance we can hit a leading target inside 50 or on the Arc???

No chance we bomb it and it 3 talls fly for it and spoil each other

 

u guys should block me coz im gonna come so hard for all the people that were talking about top 2/top 4 etc. despite a body of evidence that shows we have a soft underbelly. 


Look at that.  One kick to the 50 hits.  Then another on the lead between a pack of 5 defenders.  This has to be the worst game we've played this season.  Just ahead of the Pies and then GWS.

We'll be lucky to make a PF.

    We are just bombing it in our 50 and going back to handballing

    Our backline hasn't been great tonight. 

    And you wonder why we don't get talked up as premiership favourites. 

    The players attitudes have been pathetic.

    We do that ourselves.
    Not enough class to slice anyone apart.

    They’re working harder and they’re hungrier. We should come out breathing fire this quarter and instead were barely giving a yell. They’ve  won the quarter on the scoreboard and they’re leading the tackle count 24-9.

    Now panicked settle in, a game we controlled we now are in trouble of losing

     

    Oliver complaining about an umpiring decision while the play is still going, Hawks goal.

    That's a microcosm of our attitude tonight.

    • 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?
