The only bit of good news is that Max is walking without splint, brace, crutches or even a limp.

I don’t think you can read that much into it. It actually may mean the opposite.

Brisbane - blackouts and people singing John Denver and Neil Diamond.

Do they know it’s not 1976?

It is over there!! 

 

In all seriousness this will be remembered as the worst day to be a Demons fan since we didn’t make the 8 in 2020.

Salem injured and out indefinitely. May late scratching still not right. Max gets injured and god knows. Lights go out on a game.

Be kind to yourselves Dees fans.

    Any idea if we marked the ball from Brayshaw’s kick just as the lights went out? Looked a potential rare inside 50 entry.

    Shanked it straight to a Brisbane player.

    Serious question - is that a good sign in terms of medial v ACL?

    And also a big smile . I’d take a 100 point loss if his injury isn’t serious

    Yes you can it's twisting or sideway movement that becomes a problem. But the fact that they are letting him is confusing.

    Impossible to tell.  I've seen and played with blokes who've run off the ground seemingly unencumbered only to find they've blown their ACL.

    And potentially Petty injured as well 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️


    Kayo - Brown Lyon Buckley - discussing how abandoning at this stage with BL winning +40 points.

    They are suggesting that it could adversely effect the  integrity of the betting" - farcical.

    Apparently can be continued after what could be 60 minutes!  How about the soft tissue injuries in either teams after cooling down for all this time.  Not a lot of integrity now.

    If the game is abandoned then we lose. 
    Those rules were put in place after the last time the lights went out at VFL Park.

    7 goals in twelve minutes. 
     

    let’s do this! 🔴🔵🔥🔴🔵🙄💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

    Agreed. Things exploding are never a good sign.


    What a disgrace our midfield was. Doesn't bode well for the Swans game missing Kossie and Gawn. Come on Schac attack!

    We don’t deserve to win but that rule that who’s ever in front gets the points is [censored].

    What if it was a scenario in which Brisbane was up by 3 points & the reason they get the win is because their stadium is a piece of garbage ?

    Was just thinking this is be dirty as hell if it was close and we lost a goal down with 8 minutes to go

     

    At least they didn’t get 100 points against us

    • 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?
