WHAT A GOAL BY CHANDLER

Speed, smarts and composure.

Chandler is definitely up there with the best small forwards in the comp on current form.

I'd say up there as the most improved player in the comp

    Hope that late goal doesn’t prevent Goody for giving a few of them (namely Tracc) a good spray

    Why is it that our midfield always needs time to get going? Does Yze put them to sleep with his pre-game talk

    Backline needs a rocket. Midfield needs a rocket. 
    Rowell needs to be shut down. Maybe Sparrow to just shut him out of it.

    The way Chandler is playing is the reason you give them a real grounding at Casey 

    brilliant goal

    Getting beaten at stoppages.

    Fritsch unsighted.

    GC running players through centre square often outnumbering us meaning easy inside 50 kicks. 

    Defence mindset not strong from our midfield.

    Chandlers read the Dragon Scroll.

     

    Centre clearances 5 to 2.

    Marks 28 to 17.

    Both against.

    Trac, Lever, May, Anb, Langdon, Fritta and Viney all need to get going. 

    Powell with 12 possies.

    At least we've been efficient inside 50

    Edited by leave it to deever

    The opposition is up and about its game on

    Backline look all at sea since Petty been moved.

    Get him back and Brown in

    Leaders might want to step up this quarter. Max 2 touches, Viney 2 touches.

    Move Trac forward to bring him in to the game perhaps. Tell May to stick to his man and defend, not look for the easy intercept.

    Fwd structure a mess

    Has been for a long time but gee they make it hard for them, when are they going to learn to kick it to the advantage for the forwards ie, if the forward player is facing boundary side kick it there not to the opposition side of them.

    I agree. Petty is good forward but he’s too important down 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.

    • 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?
