Tmac's game was superb, crashing the contest and ripping down some contested marks with 4 to go along with it. 

Thats the tmac we all know and love.

    Was Hibberd injured? AFL app says so but I didn’t hear the commentators mention anything during the 4th quarter?

    He did have ice around the calf when they panned to the bench, no mention of an injury though.

    Strange Sparrow went to Gaff after quarter time. I wonder why not Kelly?

    Fritta's clean skills stood out in the first half.

    Grundy is settling nicely.

    TMac looked dangerous and three contested marks was good.

    Petracca was great after quarter time.

    Oliver was immense... again.

    Kozzy is class just needed to finish.

    McVee looked classy again.

    Salem should earn his way back through the VFL at this point. 2021 was a long time ago now, and he hasn't played too well in over a year (not his fault - but true all the same).

    Brayshaw is more at risk IMO

    Trac’s set shot routine is transformed. Walks straight, holds the ball straight, 3 steps in, 4th the kick with STRAIGHT momentum, no leaning back on it. Seems simple, and it is!

    Frustrating first half rife with skill and decision errors but credit to West Coast who were undermanned but brought the heat to the contest. That explained some of the skill errors but not the decision making when in space and going inside 50.

    Tidied up second half and were never really threatened after the break. Good to see TomMac back, Kozzie finding his way after an errant first half, Trac work his way into the game and some great flashes from kids like JVR, McVee.

    Doubled their score, topped 100 points so it's miserable to complain but still getting used to a team doing just what it needs to do.

    If that Fritta shot went through it would have been 20 goals in a game two weeks in a row. Not bad for a team that has no forward line and can't score.

    Kelly was getting a heap of but kicking at 30% he wasn’t really hurting us.

    This time last week he was hobbling off after the game too. Must just be old age.

    First quarter a bit sloppy at times against undermanned opponents but overall an efficient job well done. Got to also give credit to Tim Kelly, whose lion-hearted effort for the Eagles prevented our midfield from taking even greater control. Overall, plenty of positives, especially with Grundy now match-fit and increasingly dominant at stoppages.

    Solid win even if it was messy.

    I really miss Gawn.

    Over 700 metres gained, not bad.

    Great win Dees.  Very even team performance, and more selection headaches for our Match Committee next week. More than happy with the 10 goal margin and the 15% that came with it.  Onward and upward …….. Go Dees!

    • 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.

      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.

      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?
