Umpires ruined this game. Totally favouring essendon.

Personally I could give a stuff who won out of these two but my god the umpiring was lopsided and terrible …as it consistently is these days. Bombers def got the fairy take ride with the umps. I just don’t like seeing the umpires have that big of an impact.

    Make that 50. 50 frees in a single game. 
    That’s 30 too many. 
     

    Imagine the Game Day thread if Demonland was around in 1993. In round 10 of that season Carlton 44 free kicks Melbourne 18.

    Blues have no recognisable system.

    And despite having stars like Curnow, McKay, Weitering, Walsh, Cripps, etc. they have little else.

    I haven't seen this game tonight but they are seriously underperforming.

    I fear for Vossy, don't know whether the board can hold their nerve...

    need a massive clean out - ed curnow, kennedy, dow, o'brien, jack martin - none of them are good enough to be part of a decent midfield

    mids don't look fit, they don't work defensively, and their disposal leaves a lot to be desired

    But does it not resonate clearly of our 2017, 2018 years?

     

    keep your powder dry or do you ditch another coach?

    They are shocking decision makers and an inability to make clean handballs or kicks, will they hold their nerve or react to the outside noise cannot wait.

    2018 we made a PF.

    2023 for Carlton is looking more like our 2019.

    Yeah but 2017 we just missed the finals. Thanks to the Eagles V crows game and percentages.

    If I could pick one ruckman to replace Max when he goes, Draper would do pretty nicely.

    Just please ask him to get rid of the mullet.

    I was at Princess Park that game.  Must have been a brown paper bag left by the late John Elliott in the umpires room pre game. Was not one word in the papers the following day about that disgusting display of umpiring either.

    Was that the game Greg Williams got 44 touches and failed to get a Brownlow vote?

    I’m concerned Essendon will finish top 4 with a weak as water fixture to come home with.

    Can someone allay my fears? 

    You really are scared of a lot of other teams.

    • 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?
