    Worst half of footy for the year 

    worst than v lions 

    worst than v bombers 

    worst than v port 

    overhandballing is horrible 

    ineffective inside 50

    going wide going wide and wide 

    Best. Ummm Trac and lots of others just going ok. 

    Viney. Kozzzy. Chin. Do something!!! And Spargo is a negative 

    What happened to Chandler? Is he being tagged? A shell of his former self, had a great 5-6 rounds to start the year.

    Any chance we try and go fast and direct through the corridor?

    That involves winning the clearances. So no.

    Why does Kozzy seem to be on a rollercoaster every game?.

    One spectacular goal, or play. Then 10 minutes of zero impact or involvement.

    💯

    It's a scrap. Grundy's two shot should be goals. Similarly, Harmes.

    Midfield is ineffective with Viney being tagged, Tracc quiet that quarter.

    The secondary midfield not really cutting it.

    This is a soft effort from us.

    Viney and Lever really need to lift.

    Jv no disposals last quarter.  A grand two touches for a half.

    Jacko best on hound. Great work Dees.

    Can Tmac lay a tackle just once please.

    Meantime JJ can’t buy a game.

    2 half backlines dominating, both teams struggling to find much cohesion between wing and half forward. Not a pretty game to watch. 

    I don't understand the modern interpretation of a push in the back. In 2/3 of contested marking, someone is shoving the person in front forward and it is not paid. Gawn does it a lot, and cops it a lot. 

    Early today in this thread I mentioned handballing, tackling, and F50 efficiency. Tackling = tick. The other 2 are the mess they have been all year.

    Any chance Goodwin's could give up like Hardwick

    It's a strange feeling when Reddit is the best option for a rational discussion of something. The game day threads here are something else.

    it’s shocker, isn’t it. It’s got real Sunday afternoon 4;20pm game, circa 2014, feels. 

    That's exactly how it feels and it shouldn't. We are a top 4 team playing a team out of the 8 and should be comfortably winning. 

    All I can think is what Collingwood will do to us in 2 weeks time 

    A dreadful game - we have no zip at all, absolutely flat. Freo are terrible also - the Pies would have put these guys to bed already. 
     

    Not sure where our lift is going to come from, but it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the year.

    Strating to forget the last time Kozzie tore a game apart.

    I think it was before he was suspended.

    Been a while.

    Sadly Chandler following his lead.

    Our forward line is 6tuffed.

    And tried to take a mark 1 hander. He doesn't do enough 

    Let’s try for the first 10 minutes of the 3/4 kamakzi run and gun, fast ball movement , play on at all costs to an open fwd line with Fritsch coming out of the square, Chandler and Kosi 25-30 metres out in opposite pockets.

    Disposal efficiency says it all

    Dees 69% vs 79% Freo

    Yep our skills are terrible. Handballs and short kicking going astray. Need to rectify in the 2nd half or we are in big trouble. We also over use the ball when under pressure instead of getting a quick kick into the forwards. Hate to be a forward in this team.

    He needs to be coached. 

    Learn some more footy smarts Kozzy, stop trying to do the flashy stuff.

    You wonder what they do over the preseason? Plenty of time to work on skills...🤔🤔🤔

    • 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?
