Ok itโ€™s the premiership quarter go for it !!

What a rubbish ground ball spends half the time out of bounds and you see more out on the full than any other ground. Should have been bulldozed years ago

Need our lesser lights to get the ball....

Picket Bedford and Spargo are non existentย 

Kozzys uncertainty on the far wing then trying some cute kick around the corner for another turnover.ย  Bloody awful.ย  I would rather gain 40 - 45 meters near the boundary and have the Cats win the 50 / 50 there.ย  Whose playbook is this rubbish?

Fritta just outside 50 decides he cant make it but then kicks it too close to the goal line to give anyone a chance to run on.ย  Also seermingly no signal to say "im going short here" ??

PLAY THE PERCENTAGES/BASICS if you cant make the distance or at least look for a short pass lateral to keep posession until someone makes an option!

a lot of players just not putting in not chasing, not tackling. We know they are going to run, but our players are not running with them.ย  we need our team to step up and put these [censored] down

Please get Viney off the ball he is getting caught every time he takes possession move him forward do something to change the mixย  They are negating our strengths

Goodwin mix it up a bit please

ย 

Yep, these guys need to take the first option, not take on the tackler

That development end has worse lights than the Piiron Yallock cricket ground.ย

Inside 50 efficiency - them = 51.9%, us = 25.9%.

We need a proper forwards coach, instead of Stafford doubling up his duties.

Need proper entries. Not the forwards fault we've kicked to direct opponents 10 times

Last weekend we went to watch Myrtleford play,who kick nothing but low darts into forwards for goals,ย  ย our guys kick nothing but pie floaters to pockets for turnovers.

ย 

Which one is the afl and which is the o&m ffs

Yes yes and yes. Itโ€™s our obvious need.ย 

The comforting thing is that even though we've been sloppy, we're right in this, If we start hitting targets (we've been wayyy off, it's almost like there's a jumper clash!), we'll win this. They're playing at about their best, despite a couple of misses. If we come out breathing fire and nailing passes, we win.ย 

Don't care if we lose this now. Love this club.ย 

PS - Lets all become fans that boo continually - even though our oppositions tackles never get rewarded & ours do......

Itโ€™s not the forward line, itโ€™s the blokes kicking it to our forward line. 4 times the kick has gone inside 50 straight to a cats player 15m clear of any Melbourne player. Try kicking it to anyone in a red and blue jumper and at least it may get to ground

No,ย  they just head down one side of the ground forces all the players to go into a pack situation, we don't have that type of player, we need to open it up by as it comes in, bb is OK one on one not 6 on one.ย 

Our midfield is just starting to warm up. I think we may look off but Geelong are throwing everything and taking a lot of risks by taking the corridor.

It could work for them but more likely to not.

I think. Kossy, Spargo and even more do Bedford need to step up and run harder than in the first half. ย BBb and frittata need to get on a bike as well, ย  Where does the Tour de France go tonight !!

The crowd is too small for Petracca which is why he only has his 9 touches to half time.

ย At least he is kicking goals

Why is Pickett anywhere in the team...wtf does he offer

May...get off and get some confidence

Sparrow is an overhyped player by many, he's not AFL level

Gawn, great to see u back

Nominated for game day post of the round.

poor delivery into our forward line, just booting without looking who to. need to lower their eyes and make sure they hit a target. it would also be nice if a couple of these players could move the ball on quicker. taking too much time to kick down the line gives geelong lots of time to flood back.

Maybe the next multibillion dollar taxpayer funded redevelopment will involve bulldozing the grandstands and making it an adult style width?

Mate the ball isnโ€™t even hitting the pack, itโ€™s hitting the one cats bloke standing by himself 20m away from the pack!

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking?ย I mean by โ€œtheyโ€ 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.Itโ€™s no secret that the Demonsโ€™ 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.ย 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 Bryanโ€™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 winningย 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

    Itโ€™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?
