I’m sick so not able to attend - HATE watching on TV.  
 

extremely nervous, really worried we’re going to look slow and horrible. 

Goody 

1- stoppages 

2- embrace the corridor. Collingwood love the corridor.  Stop them and rebound 

3- pressure and turnovers 

ummm  that’s a huge challenge today 

how what about 

- tackling 

- goal kicking 

- skills and targets as well - quicker ball movement 

When it’s all said and done , more is said than done

Go Dees

    Here we go.
    Let's see what we got.

     

    Melb 1.96

    Coll 1.85

    I don’t think we’ve handled being the hunted team very well, as demonstrated by our sorry record against the pies, even in our premiership year. We went into the last few contests as favourites and today we don’t which makes sense. By rights they win today, they’re playing better, are in better form and we have not found our groove yet.

     BUT

    Our best can beat them, so am obviously hoping to see that today. Honestly I’ll be ok with a loss and I’ll feel better about the second half of the year as long as the loss is narrow and the boys dig in for FOUR QUARTERS!

    Would LOVE a win though.

    Go Dees!! 


    D50 ground ball a problem there


    Goes without saying that the we can’t give the pies those sorts of chances.

    D's fumbling Pies clean. Gotta fix that.

    Hunter waiting too long.

     

    May can’t pick a ball off the ground anymore and Hunter needs to keep in simple with kicks

    • 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?
