Bog ordinary.

i know the ground is a slop, but we’re BOTH playing on that slop.

Who even is this team????

 

Seriously we need to learn how to kick accurately.

Same story every week now.

Poor footy.

 

How does Grundy get tackled before the ball is even thrown out thats holding the man where is the free kick maybe weVe had enough already

Sadly it appears Liam Jurrah isn’t there. The roads have been closed which must be the reason since he loves this match every year. 😢

I need more good news from you… not less 😭

Great selection Joel Smith. Complete waste of space at this stage. 

Meanwhile JVR kicking 4 and probably multiple contested marks.

thems some tasty PREMIERSHIP METRICS.

 

We just need to do what it takes to get this job done. Stop piddling around with too much handball.

But minus 100% in skill.

Never have a small at the back of the pack. Chandler is the invisible man surely can't be gifted a game next week.

It's lazy, just hanging out there hoping it will skid to the back.

Somethings wrong at this club. What a waste of talent.

Maybe that’s the problem? We think we have the list to win another one.

Our list is out of balance. We need 2-3 elite ball users off half back and in the HF area that are reasonably big bodied (ie not Salem / Bowey) and are good natural athletes.

We are also dominating the falling over count by a mile.

This 👆

The problem again is the small forwards. Chandler, ANB, Kozzie and Melk simply can't get it done. Don't expect Brown or Smith to get many looks. 


We can hope the champion team shows up in the last...🤞🏻

+40 disposals but only +8 effective disposals - wasteful

We got panned for not wanting it enough last week and not going hard enough. Show them what we're made of.

  • 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?
