That was easy. North have a long hard road to travel.

everyone performed but I’m not convinced Schache is the answer. Let’s see how he goes against the suns.

    I can’t be bothered going to find the thread but Chandlermodium stocks must be about equal with Apple’s after that.

    Goodwin was so happy he high fived his security guards

    He is soooo cuddly. I just saw the president give him a big smooch at the end of the team song.

    Disgusting 😁

    Just need the antidote for the woman behind me to shut up because we didn't win by 100 points.

    The only downside was the missed 100.

    Go Dees!

    At least we cracked the ton. 
     

    For a team coming off 5 days, with a trip up to GC, the switch off to preserve a couple of percent for next week is fine by me.

    Everything clicked. Clear night at the G. Beautiful to watch. Crowd was pretty lame, but it’s North. No injuries. Seagulls absolutely rampant all game. What happened to the falcon? Onto next week.

    When was the last time we kicked 22.7? How good has our goal kicking been this year.

    Asked for a 15 goal win in the pregame thread, got exactly that. 
     

    Should’ve won by more.

    Great win, made even better with the memory of North beating us time after time for years.

    Excellent win

    Definite percentage booster 

    but … only the Dees would allow 3 soft goals in the last 3 minutes to reduce margin from 108 to 90 points!!! 

    Yeah.

    Only the dees.

    Sheesh.

    Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more

    At least the players showed up, cos the supporters definitely didn’t. Shocking crowd for a club with almost 60k members.

    Yep. Pathetic crowd. Perfect weather. You knew it was gonna be a probable giant win. Last home game for a month. Rubbish turnout.

    And I reckon half of those behinds were rushed. Probably we just missed a couple of set shots.

    Very professional effort on a short break. Flashes of excellent ball movement and mostly the right tempo. 

    The most pleasing part was the unselfish work of our forwards. Fritsch and Pickett clearly got the message after some of their efforts last year and it’s great to see it spread through the side.

    And why do you think that is? And remember they ended up with 3 players on the bench due to injury.

    Schache isn’t the answer. Petty back in or BB depending on form at Casey (with Petty to go 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.

      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?
