when you dominate a quarter and a half and only kick 4.10 it's going to come back and bite you.

    Mcpherson a nice specky in the pack and kicks truly.  Three in a row for the Doggys now.

    Hibb with 20 disposals putting his hand up for the job on Paps this week

    Hibberd with 13 possessions in the 2nd quarter. Making a statement.

    I love Hibbo. He only knows one way. Straight through.

    For who though Chook?

    Dunstan is more likely for Harmes.  Getting a fair bit of it so far.  Needs to clean up the disposal somewhat

    Melksham. Can’t see why Jordon couldn’t replace Harmes either. Also Hibberd for McVee - going well at Casey. Schache for Max.

    Great to see several players putting their hands up and keeping pressure on the seniors.

    Jordon has been quality and  should replace Harmes.

    Hibberd had got a lot of ball sweeping but I am not convinced anymore on him defensively. McVee would be very stiff to not play round 3 being Cameron took one mark and kicked 2 goals on a night when our backs were massively under the pump.  

    Schache has not hurt his chances but interesting that JVR seems to have been preferred to relieve in the ruck behind Bell. Whether to play Schache, JVR or both is still up for grabs based on their second half output.

    Jordon completely dominating in the midfield. Direct replacement for Harmes thanks.

    Hibbo still got it. You'd think he'd come in for McVee who I actually thought battled well. Another senior head down back won't hurt.

    Schache the dominant forward so far. Has already taken 5 marks in the first half and unlucky not to have a couple of goals on board.

    Special mention to Bailey Laurie. Looks complete different player to what he was last year. Class, poise and distributing well.

    Rough end of the half losing some centre clearances and getting beat by some good efforts by the Dogs forwards.

    JJ’s been impressive with his ability to cover the ground and contested work in important contests. Whether he’s truly an inside mid just yet is another question but he’s certainly pushing for a spot and they can move wingers and find room for him. He’s kept it simple.

    Dunstan’s been Dunstan.

    Hibbo’s had some good moments, he’s certainly still a star at this level.

    Howes flashes brilliance just needs to get more playing at half back. K Turner has more work to do on his kicking than I thought previously but he’s very willing 

    Scache’s been the best of the key forwards taking marks and drawing free kicks. JVR’s best has been enticing but he’s made a few unusual errors with his kicking. Has been involved though which is good.

    I’ve really liked the game of Max Gregory aka Fake Bowey.

    Hannan having a pretty mad third term.  Him & Mcpherson bringing the Dogs back into it.

    Holding call against the Doggys in the Square sees JVR get his first to get one back

    • 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?
