If we ever get a mcg game against this mob I hope we only sell 100 seats to them. 

 

What an embarrassing final quarter. Outscored 5 goals to zip when the games on the line.

Coach needs a rocket. Team selection wrong. Team balance wrong. No changes made even when getting belted around the ball and on turnover. 


WHAT IS THIS [censored] FORWARD SET UP?

Why are we letting them have an extra man when we have clearly lost unless we get the goals quickly 

Tracc has the worst goal sense for a player of his calibre 

 

Poor selection, and still can’t believe he took a running player in Jordan for Spargo and not Petty or Gawn. 

Petty a mile off and how they made an out of form player like spargo sub I’ll never know. Jordons last game as well

Gee we look slow and terrible in the air as well

I wonder what our F50 efficiency against top 8 sides has been since 2018?

 

Anybody know a way to look this up as I’m struggling to be able to find it?

Where’s our energy advantage here?

 On the other side we’d be saying we’re coming off a 6 day break, we’ll that’s them so are we going to stand up or what? Where’s our run?

Who will make a difference?

I can't believe people are still asking this question around the bye.....

Spare me mate! Tomlinson is a C grader at best 

So is Garry Rohan but he's almost been the difference

The trouble is Viney is the only player showing some leadership out there.

Lever has been strong too. Max has cracked the [censored] and thrown in the towel this year.

I wonder if there are any learnings from tonight?

Maybe that our forward line is freaking useless.

And out mids have no idea how / where to kick it into forward line

 

I'd be dropping Kozze Pickett, downhill skier extraordinaire

Yep, Petracca has shown he is the side kick of Oliver. You'd think he would step up with Oliver out. He hasn't

  • 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?
