    Fix the defensive game in the middle and tighten up down back and we got this. 

    A few very soft frees their way. We do need to play some tempo this quarter.


    Left some on the table.. win the midfield and the territory battle and we will coast it in.

    This is a cracking game

    BT summed it "Explosive quarter"

    Such kickable misses. Tighten defence up and roll these parolees.

    Some big concerns. The game is on their terms, they are scoring, they have belief. Make so mistake if we don't find some kind of control or forward 50 territory they will fancy themselves a chance

    I hope that Maxy miss isn't one that catches up to us...

    What a quarter. The only real negatives are that we gave up 5 goals (one to that spud Cox), and Maxy's miss. Wish Salem sunk that as well. 

    But still, that was intense. Don't think they can sustain that for 4 quarters which is good because I don't think my heart can handle 4 either!

    Seriously max needs to do something about his kicking. As an experienced senior player & captain you should not miss from that distance in front

    And a 10 out of 10 for entertainment value

    Entertainment ia great don't get me wrong, we need control and tempo though. I'd prefer 6.5 entertainment and 10 out of 10 performance.

    2 bad misses and 1 charity to them - should be well ahead. Viney and Gus awesome. Nibbler still very ordinary

    Who gives a stuff about entertainment if u lose?? Couldnt give a fat rats clacker about entertainment

    Not much use slowing it down unless we can get a decent break.

    They have proven on multiple occasions how easily they pierce our defence

    We need a ten goal to two quarter... which we can do

    • 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?
