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

I think you forgot about the two brilliant goals 

Getting dudded by the umps again with two different interpretations of holding the ball

    Dispose accurately at first option and we win this.

    And as mentioned TWO classic 50 meter penalties against Geelong not paid.

    Dare say we probably need another tall target.

    Yep.... i would play Gawn 80% forward with only 20% in the ruck interchanging with Dogga from here.

    We need a tall target at CHF to straighten us up and get the ball to ground.  Will also upset their spare a little

     

    I've loved Bedford's game over the past few weeks but tonight it's showing he just can't go against the big boys. 

    He'd struggle in finals

    Doing pretty well to be only 4pts behind. We haven’t had momentum all night. Get some control and I reckon we can power away.

    Bowey, Lever & May look a little off the pace tonight

    If we’re within 6 goals at 3QT, we’ve got this

    Steven May very fumbly. Lots of players slipping over. Handballing to team mate 1 metre away under pressure. All these making us look 5 goals down.

    But our main issue is our constant missing a target inside 50 when kicking under little pressure. This has been atrocious. 

    Great game though - two great teams pressuring the carp out of each other.

    Yep. He's miles off the pace in this game.

    Think you might be correct

    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

    Aside from everything else, I’m not sure confidence is found on the other side of removing yourself from a team, mid-match.

    Mate the ball isn’t even hitting the pack, it’s hitting the one cats bloke standing by himself 20m away from the pack!

    Out of how many entries. 


    Less than a kick in it. Was never going to be easy on their home deck. Few tweaks to make at half time and then come home with a wet sail ⛵  go dees

    Why was Bradshaw standing 5m back from the mark?

    • 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?
