Viney talking to the umpires. Stop it. It’s not helping your cause. 

It would be frustrating. They have been very inconsistent.

    Good to turn it around there but we had two turnover goals (Viney & Sparrow). 
     

    Our pressure game is on - but so is GC. The team that maintains that will win the game. We switched off after Q1 against the Hawks-- this game is looking very similar to that so far. 

    Maggots at it again short kicks illegal disposal and Viney's genuine effort to get rid of it, and the maggot paid against him.They are a disgrace to fair play worldwide.

    Need to work out why we give away so many frees, i dont believe every umpire hates us, we need to change

    Absolutely.

    You can’t just 100% blame the umpires when they’re just doing their job.

    Second to the ball too often.

    Good quarter, still think we are lairising too much with ball in hand.

    Trac needs to take the first option and get others involved

    Nice to play on a dry/fast deck for once

     

    So far, so good.

    Delivery into forward is more intelligent this week compared to other weeks. We aren’t always getting clean looks, but we are taking the percentage options more. If it’s not going to a one on one, it’s going to a genuine contest at least.

    We are being sucked up to clearances a bit much for mine though.

    Same here. Just close th app and restart it helps with me some times if it’s playing up.

    What is wrong with Kayo?

    It's owned by a moribund [censored]?

    Bowey looks good.

    Love how we have looked to play the Brayshaw wing instead of always the Langdon wing. 
    hunts disposal is a massive liability. 
    Viney must take first option.

    Jackson and Brown look good


    How the hell did that happen? Lucky play hasn’t started. Hot mess. 

    Oliver set shot on an angle....hmmmmm

     

    Whoa.

    Well if Olivers kicking goals from a set shot we are a lock...no ifs and or buts.

    I like the look of Bowey. Showed composure and used the ball well. Exactly the type of player we need.

    • 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?
