Really worried about this one. Not overly confident because at the end of the day it's Richmond. They've won't 3 premierships in this era and still have high quality premiership players running around.

I hope that the fact that we also have high quality premiership players running around eases your worry. :)

A big if. And if they do, who is kicking the sausage rolls?

Fritta 3, Kozzie 3  Max 2, Petracca 2, Oliver 1, ANB 1, JvR 1, Viney 1.

    Morale of the story is this isn't a walk in the park as some think.

    Some still haven't learnt their lesson for thinking the same against Essendon I see..

    Great teams still lose matches throughout the season. 

    We have travelled quite a bit, haven't had a settled side this year and our defensive chemistry was completely off for that game.
    We ran into a red hot bombers who have had a bit of a dream run so far and who were traveling for the first time this year. The game was what it was.

    It doesn't shake my confidence in a Melbourne side filled with the most premiership players i've seen in my life.

    Wow, 1 goal from a key forward, Geelong got 10 this round!

    Agreed, I had some concerns heading into the bombers game and nothing is a given in this competition.

     

    Dees by 12 goals.

    • 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?
