Few senior players braving the conditions in the stands including Dogga. For a guy seemingly on the way out he does still seem very invested. 

He is an odd unit. Very active on the Instagram reposting Melbourne stuff too. 
Has he checked out? Or is he genuinely just vague?

    It is indeed

    Great goal Smith. I would seriously consider bringing him to play as a “tall” forward. He could cause some chaos, which is bad in the backline but could be good up forward.

    Smith is having a great game so far, he’s second efforts and forward pressure is something I wish for weids to have. 
    If he continues to have a great game then he needs to come in next week. We need something different up forward

    Brought in by Casey apparently when Daw retired, but had a calf injury I believe so this is his first game.

    Smith’s work rate has been fantastic, unlucky not to get a free kick then.

    Yes we do. JVR is showing nothing in this game. So yes, Smith.

    Tomlinson and Bowey are a class above this level.

    Harmes looks like a VFL player in the AFL, and a VFL player in the VFL

    Bring in Howes instead

    The Blues hit the front in the shadows of half time.

    If you ever want to a game that illustrates:

    a) the value of small forwards

    b) the reason not to pack a team with ordinary talls

    c) Why Harmes is in the 2’s

    then this is it

    Interesting first half.

    The conditions don't suit forwards today, but having watched the first half pretty closely the pick out of the forwards has been Joel Smith. His work rate has been impressive.

    Harmes and Dunstan can’t get any separation at the clearances. Laurie (stuck forward) and White should be given the hit outs.

    Umpires rob us a goal from sheer panic. Maybe evens up the Smith one from the first quarter

    • 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?
