Would love a source for this because we are mid pack for Centre clearances and clearances in general

Over the past 6 weeks.  Source is in the 360 analysis linked earlier.  King and Montagna.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but it gives an important perspective on Gawn's influence and what we are about to miss. I'd advise to pick up about 2 minutes in when King and Montagna discuss his influence over the past 6 weeks.  We are ranked numer 1 for clearance and number 4 for post clearance, as well as number 1 for clearance scoring differential and number 1 for scores from centre bounce.  Basically Gawn and Oliver have been keeping us in games almost alone.

 

Yes Gawn is a huge gap as we know. He’s a superstar.
 

Love the last 60 seconds on the master blasters. Trac and Clarry are accountable for poor delivery and not kicking to a target or to advantage or indeed giving it off to others inside 50 and running!!

You get Facepalms from @Rhino Richards as well Colin? I thought i was the only one :)

 

Not in this thread yet.

I noticed he’d done it to 2 or 3 other posters advocating Majak be given a game without explaining why he felt that suggestion was out of bounds (or if he had, I must have missed it).

 

No mention of Daw??

I don't get this either, something isn't right.

That is more than 2 isn’t it?

I didn't include Daw because he's been missing every second Casey game.

He missed last time, so next time, he's an "in".

 

We have 16 players over 190cm, 6 of which are injured atm  - Perfect time to be playing the Brisbane Behemoths 

TMac not coming back this year. He'd have to make his return during finals.. we'd have to be desperate for that to happen.

Also great to see 1 week already subtracted from Gawn's return and that most of the players have passed the daunting 4-6 timeframe.

I think we come out and beat the lions without our captain and  all of a sudden we will look invincible again.. 

Wise words, R&br!!

Max said last night he thought he was ready to go next week against Crows.

Clearly not, but injury may not be as bad as first thought.

Max probably argued to the club he was ready to go against the lions!

Fairly confident we can handle the crows without him but its gets more difficult after that.

If Max was fair dinkum last night, then he might be back sooner than the 4-5 games first indicated.

  • 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?
