For a bloke that put his mate into next week, Rohan definitely played a good game. 

 

So  I think this works 

is there another way ?

Rohan   5 and 5

Stewart 4 and 2 

Tracca.  4 and 1

Close.          3 and 2

Viney           3

Lever         1


Sad to see Oliver so far down the list.

It's a strawman. Unless you think Butters polled his 70+ votes against us...

No its not... not ar all. Not conversant with the goings of the Port Game ?

A certain adversarial player was opening us up. So much so even our brains ( sic) trust gave consideration to him.  Then decided to leave him alone. That is nor my summary..that's on record ( somewhere)

The man who allowed Butters free reign... Simon Goodwin.

In life you can only control ( affect ) the things you can. Here he [censored]'d up.

He clearly didnt give due respect to the player. Others have .

You might disagree... your prerogative.

And the vast majority of touches were to 3/4 time... when we were ahead.

Our players didn't get the job done in the last.

FWIW, I would have played Viney on him, but it wouldn't have mattered at all, if JVR hadn't havegiven thstfree kick away or Chandler kicks his goal or Fritta kicks his.

Zak got 5 votes from both coaches.

Man of the match.

We need to make better decisions.

Viney to him might have worked but Jacks efforts are more valuable..imho.. possibly what the box thought.. who knows.

Id have sent some Terrier with a tank.to just wear him as best as can.... just niggle him..  even Spargo could do that.

Anyway...my point was we cant rely on our game alone. All well and good to back in.our blokes....need to lift eyes and accommodate theirs too ...at times..  jmo.

Imagine letting Rohan score a perfect 10 against you. 

I dunno…..I had him pretty high up in my votes at quarter time. 👀

Viney himself was tagged that night as referenced in Ollie Wine's post match interview

Who'd da thunk such things.....

The opposition apparently.. 

I wasn't at the game - not many visiting supporters ever do down there 🤮 even if they want to - and relying on TV to get a broad view of the game is impossible as they love to zoom in or more recently show the players legs at ground level.

Was anyone "on" Rowan??  He seemed to have free rein from what I saw.

Exactly. I'd have tried to throw the tag by shifting him across to Butters, but we should have won regardless and didn't get the job done.

Maybe , just maybe he's suggesting Goody shouldn't let him get 42 touches next time.....

  • 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.

    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?
