It is hard to say how good a team is in those conditions. We really need to get our % up this quarter.

    Sounds like there's a few bomber ferals in the crowd on the grandstand side of the ground. 

    They’re everywhere! And they must procreate more than anyone else since there’s so many of the little ferals running around.

    We are doing ok. Our tackling is ferocious again. Transition play fell apart late in the 2nd, before that we had some great ball movement. 

    I like the kicking of Gillard from the goal square. Clearing the fifty even against the wind.

    Purcell is a great find, Heath showing her skills and her all round game, Hore, Paxy doing well with Bannan hitting early on.

    I think the percentage is too far away to take first place. Hopefully a win by the maggies against the lions next week, will help if we win these last two games. Win today and we shore up a top two as our percentage is too high to be caught by 3rd and 4th, or 5th.

    Go Dees

    Top spot will be decided next week, Brissie are too far ahead after yesterday's win.

    Hopefully the pies next week kick a big score, even if brissie win.

    Hore is killing it up forward. Another one goes through. 
     

    sadly, our association with Casey means that our home games are always sloppy. The wind is a nightmare and the games are never high scoring out there

    Fair play to them. It's a long bus ride from Broadmeadows to Cranbourne.

    There’s at least one totally deranged human sitting in the crowd

    How did a 50 from the square, end up in the centre?

    50 is from the woman on the mark, which is 15 from the top of the square. Net result should be 74m from goal which at Casey is probably 5 or so from the middle.

    They don't procreate more than others  it is they have not come up to working out what a condom is for.

    • 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?
