Trac has been good in close. Two poor shots on goal and a bad entry undid all his good work but his work inside a big reason why we are so far ahead.

Trac quiet in 1st. Better in second and very dangerous. Discovered he has some pace and burst.  Needs Goalkicking practice.  #GiveEmHell

Thinking about what happened last week isn't making me feel better! Just need to keep playing our game it was fully on our terms.

5 goals up at half time.
Gotta be happy with that.

Still, this game would be over if we kicked straight that qr.
One sacrificial goat not enough for finals obviously.
2 next game.

Happier if Petracca’s DE% was closer to 80 than 50, we would be 2 goals further ahead! For a guy with his talent I find some of his disposals puzzling. Those 2 running shots at goal should be absolute gimmes.

The more I see the tg incident the worse it looks. Sounded guilty in his interview when asked about it..." caught up in the moment"

 

Good luck tg ...youll need it .

At first I thought a fine but now...Two weeks I reckon.

Agreed. Greene was the definition of aggressive. His response in the interview was hardly convincing.

Riewoldt and Jono Brown trying to justify Toby Greene's bump on the umpire. Seriously give me a break, no room for that crap in the game. Multiple weeks for me.

Perhaps the old “Jack Viney, bad look for the game” suspension?

That’s a very very risky comment, tempting fate. They get some momentum, and things can change. Hopefully not…

We're a better team than them. If we maintain our focus in the second half, we win.

And we have clayton oliver and they don't

    Reckon Petracca just needs to kick a goal and then he’ll explode from there.

    Its a fair call

     

    One of the best quarters we've played all year, shame about the lack of accuracy in front of goal. That half is done though, gotta play this second half like the score is 0-0 and maintain the intensity of the second quarter.

    This. 


    Can’t let the Lions mids win quick clearances too start the quarter. Keep the pressure on boys!

    Joe Daniher has awesome taste in music. And that’s where his good points list ends.

    Clarrys field kicking has been sublime 

    Unusually, better than Petracca tonight

    Gee Jono Brown sounds real flat

    Likes Jacko though

    Great first half keep it up boys.!!


    Bris trying to flex their muscles. If we focus on footy we’ll smash them

    Many of the Lions players are down on output.

    The time the Lions looked best was when they are forcing and surging the ball forward.  That takes plenty of energy, and they aren't getting easy ball movement. Our fitness will set us well.

    They are playing a game we are forcing them into, which suits our style.

    Sparrow doing plenty of link work.

    Oliver, wow, disposal are impacting big time.

    River a bit nervous.

    We are marking everywhere. 

    Forwards working well.

    Great pressure footy, made it too hard for them.

    Expect them to come out with changes to style and with fire.

    Go Dees!

    • 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?
