Why do we look so disorganised out back? How are they taking so many marks out there? Leaked 46 points to the GC in a half, so far. Not great. 

They move it so quick and directly they challenge a lot of sides at home if you turn it over or lose crucial contests 

We’re doing both 

 

Putrid Melbourne. This is really embarrassing. We are better than this rubbish. 


May needs a spell, either to recover fitness or get his head back in the game. He’s a shadow of 2022 let alone 2021

    We expect May to beat guys much taller 

    lever turner May and petty aren’t as tall as modern key fwds

    our system is great but we need taller backs in that system 

    "C'mon Melbourne get your arze into gear!" from the crowd. 😂
    Couldn't have said it better myself.

    I know Petracca is a star and I love him but the number of times he takes his eyes off the ball as it’s coming towards him to avoid contact is concerning. Has down it at least three times this game.

    Once again, the umpires are embarrassing the game. Shocking inconsistencies.

    Pathetic umpiring. Recall the bounce.

    Just haven't sighted Lever and May is Mr fumbles again.

    I’m really worried about this display. Midfield is getting pantsed and our backline is embarrassing. 

     

    I'd love for us to somehow get Lukosius into red and blue. Reckon we could develop him beyond what the Sun's can. Beautiful kick of the footy, creative vision, excellent footy IQ

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
