    So far we have seen Gawn and Grundy sharing ruck duties.

    Oliver, Viney, Pickett, Harmes, Sparrow and Petracca have all rotated at centre bounce.

    Petracca is impressive.

    Hunter is a great addition. Owning that wing spot that we have struggled to fill for years now.

    Dominating play but hitting up leading forwards is still very poor.

    Can’t see anything at ground level. Can’t wait for nosebleed seats at the G with a balmy 2 degree southerly in my face. 
     

    Look to have a few turnovers this quarter and no signs of the quick play on through the corridor that we were hoping for.

    I have have seen enough to ink Hunter for round 1 and pencil McVee for round 1 as well. Whilst they have both had their moments I really dont like a forwardline with both TMac and Brown and we do still scream for a crumber at the spill when Koz not there. Our clear want to move forward with short quick kicks and also our spinning of more players through the midfield are positives. Granted neither Harmes or Sparrow have really made the most of the time.

    Thanks that works...  i have a digital (Kayo) membership but no idea how to activate the Kayo bit to watch this.  Apparently its not a freebie as advertised?

    Anyone?

    I didn’t get the email from Kayo to activate the voucher. I assume you didn’t either. I had to ring the membership and they fwd to me.

    I’m going to give benefit of the doubt and put it down to the unpredictable conditions. Our ball movement has been pretty good. 

    We’re dominating play and are not getting a fair run from the umps. 

    They’ve missed some howlers and given them some really soft ones that haven’t been reciprocated at the other end.

    View from the top of the stand is excellent if you can find room

    Just getting the early rust out of the system.

    If we can still clean up our forward 50 entries then we'll be fine this year.

    Kayo extended highlights during the breaks are bloody annoying. Put a commercial on FFS.

    Was just thinking that

    I’m really looking forward to seeing JVR. Surely old knee Brown and old foot McDonald are done. 

    Compression bandage on J Adams knee. Walking around just fine on the ground. 
     

    More Casey guys so 18 warming up for the next game so far. Haven’t seen Verrell or Schache.

    Have to think JVR and Jj get a run soon in the main stuff

    • 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?
