Did Trac butter the hands before tonight? Seems to be handling a completely different ball

    Petracca has been so fumbly tonight

    Worst game ive seen from the dynamic duo tonight.  We havent handled the conditions or some prettg standard AFL pressure which is a worry


    Tomlinson is not AFL standard.

    Would prefer Dan Turner, honestly.

    24 degrees at night in Brisbane would make the ball pretty slippery. I think Brisbane are just used to it and we’re not (compounded by the fact that we are objectively not playing well).

    Can he just play on from OOB when he hasn’t come over the mark?

    Seems they can


    Have we won a centre clearance the entire night? The midfield have embarrassed themselves. A second game player has torn us apart 

    Not our night folks. We'll respond against the Swans.

    Hope Max ok.

    Going to get my head down, go for a good walk early doors and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    Over and out

    Petracca, Oliver and Viney will HATE the replay of this game.

    The whole team needs to sit down and watch it.

     

    I can hear the xxxx being cracked open. Shame, we were in this. If Trac picked that ball up we might have been away for a chance to return to 20. Instead we’re 38 down.

    Beaten by a better team on the night 

    Beaten because we failed to execute the most basic non negotiables of our side. We got destroyed in every area that we generally excel at. Inexcusable.

    • 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?
