    Petty has had 3 shockers this Qrt

    Should've punched there

    Lucky touched

    He was in front and had position. Misjudged. Langdon was at fault and he knew it. He should have contested. 

    Tell me again how Harry Petty isn’t one of our most important. Absolute superstar.

    Saints supporters around me booing. It was touched you bellends.

    Anyway, Saints will go on their run and kick a few goals in a row. But they're playing like they're at Marvel. Long and direct to King. We are gobbling it up.

    We are tripling King in the air and have Membry covered. Our mids are applying pressure. I can’t see them piling on goals. We are a bad match up for them. They aren’t used to losing the ruck battle so we have them on the back foot from the bounce.


    Tommy Mac looks lively and his marking is back. Too bad he is a terrible/overly adventurous field kick. 

    Nice start.

    Even when they were getting early 50 entries, I wasn’t particularly stressed as I knew their ball movement indicated we were playing the game on our terms.

    Sensational first quarter by the Wizard of Koz. Keep it going young fella!

    Great first qu

    kozzie on fire and Gus had a great quarter too

     

    Great first quarter ! Our core mids Trac Oliver and Viney not really in the game yet. Hopefully they get involved more in the link up an assert full ground dominance.

    Defensive setup is stifling the Saints ball movement, expect a change up.


     

     


    Great first qtr but he team.  Looking good for their first day game. Great first qtr but he team.  Looking good for their first day game. 

    They have been lucky Kozzie is just getting his eye in after the week off. 

     

    That's premiership footy folks!!

    There are aspects / nuances of the game that Plugga brings there that you can't buy!!

    It's really psychological as well. Up in their 'grill'

    • 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?
