HTB in the Bombers goal square.... no call.

10 seconds later HTM paid which was debatable.... goal.

Really hard to take this game seriously from a ruling POV

What a circus & the umpiring fraternity are the fully fledged clowns this season.  What are the teaching these guys and how are they overlooking so many obvious interpretations whilst paying less severe ones shortly after?

Many of them momentum builders/killers.

Having said that, the Blues are their own worst enemy.

So many stressed faces coming off at half time.  Whatever is happening with coach <> players certainly isn't making for a 'all for one one for all' environment for them of late.  Sort of reminds me a tad of our MN years a tad.

And shows in their accuracy for goal and/or shots falling short.

    This is atrocious from Carlton

    Peter Wright is a star. Spewing we didn’t try to get him.

    Voss can’t coach. He changed their structure significantly from last week, and they are just wide open down the middle tonight.

    Any side looks good running through the middle with no pressure. It’s embarrassing.

    Given the history of the Carlton football club it’s hard to see Voss being there next year.

    Carlton are obviously playing brand name players who are out of form or not 100% fit.

    They cant get out of the 1980's.

    Their payroll reads like a house of horrors.  Might be 5 or 6 Grundy type contracts. Even Collingwood had to move on one player, Carltons got loads of them.

    They cant sack Voss they'll be a laughing stock. Who would coach them?  Maybe Strop.

    At the end of the day they'll both be [censored] Steve but I reckon their coach might be on firmer ground than Carlton's !!

    I immediately thought how bloody wanky is that. Didn’t suit the occasion if that’s what they’re chasing.

    Welp the Test Match final’s as good as done with India going down without a fight, and there’s no way on Earth I’d voluntarily watch Essendon win. I might have to join @Jaded No More in watching cute dogs on TikTok.

    I’ve gone down a black hole of watching dog rescue videos and I’m shedding tears like a Carlton supporter right now.

    Is it just me or has Essendon been dropping the ball in tackles regularly all night and no HTB, but they’ve been given about 6 or 7 similar decisions when Carlton drop it?

    • 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?
