I'd love to know how our most important player pulls up in Oliver. He definitely copped a whack in that game and didn't look the same after it.

Interestingly, just watched the last quarter again and Petty actually grabs at his hamstring late in the game too. Will be fascinating to see what thw club reports...

    Bit of a negative, but jeez Tom McDonald looks absolutely cooked.

    He won't get dropped, but I honestly think the week off is probably the worse for him. He's put in 2 ordinary games in a row now and I think he's someone who needs game time and continuity.

     

    Posted similar after last weeks game and got several face palms. It's not just the last 2 games, his last good game was against Pot Adelaide, has done little since. I really hope we can get him back into form.

    Re the umpires, made an acceptable amount of mistakes but were  the best we've had in weeks I never got upset at  any stage, mostly sensible umpiring.

    Most will be happy to facepalms rather then explain their narrative. Ridiculous really.

    McDonald won't get dropped, but it's a bit of a concern. The bye would be the worse thing for him. He needs continuity more then anything.

    It was only a few weeks ago that it looked like he'd done his hamstring (can't think which game it was) and came off the ground, only to return and see out the match - much to everyone's surprise.

    Maybe he has had another episode of the classic "hamstring awareness" and will be fine to play next game.

    If that was the case they would have taken him off with 5 mins to go and kept May on

    Hopefully it's just cramp.  Week off will certainly help.

    When your ruckman and captain leads the tackle count for the night you know it is all in.  Love it.  Go Dees

    While 2019 was a horrid year, brought us Jackson, Pickett & Rivers in draft.

    Add Spargo, Petty, Jordan, Fritsch, Sparrow, Bowey, just great drafting!

    That we are one of the youngest teams and playing so well is just brilliant.

    Fantastic win on the back of youth. Primed to win this year and be in the frame for next 5 years.

    Terrific win last night, just straighten up kicking, and ten goal win!

    Go Demons!

    9 PLayers from the last 4 drafts

    9 Players playing their first final

    9 players under 22

    There's a lot to like here...

    Viney won 5 free kicks, and gave none away (next best was one 3, then all 2’s and 1’s). He was better than solid. Played his normal uncompromising inside game that demands oppo attention (for which he was rewarded) and makes life so much better for Tracc and Clarry. Didn’t overplay his role, was a perfect team-oriented effort. I reckon he’s reset from his 2 week holiday…..a blessing in disguise. 

    He was also denied a couple of frees too. One from Cockatoo who virtually shouldered into Viney's legs catapulting him into the air and making him spin like a top. Also another time when he had his head nearly ripped off, but by all means play on.

    He was amazing on the Rewatch. He is going to be an absolute monster when he is 23-24. Huge frame already and a fantastic tackler. Next-gen Viney, and absolutely built for finals.

    Have to edit my opinion about TMac. For most of the night I thought he was with Harris Andrews, trying to keep him from intercepting. Having re-watched a lot of the game, it turns out that Andrews was on Brown, and he simply had a shocker. Brown had his measure in almost every contest, and Andrews was struggling to figure out where to stand or what to guard. 

    This also means that simply put, TMac had a shocker. No way do we drop him though.

    To answer a former question here, we won’t be wearing our alternate for the rest of the season. If Port make it, they will wear clash strip

    Unfamiliar territory for sure.

    Didn't like the Cockatoo one in real time. Could have blown Jack's knee out.

     Grub Mathiesons cheap shot on Gawn was worse IMO.

    • 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.

      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?
