Not at the game.

Can anyone explain why we're trying to switch the ball so much tonight?

I think we are trying to drag the Saints players out of our forward 50 by switching the ball and going short. In order to have a more open forwardline.

    JVR, Smith, Schache, Petty (if Tomlinson back in the team which he should be), Fritsch if not injured.

    Is Smith the sub?

    Defenders panic when teams have multiple talk forward to cover, imagine if we had another couple of marking forwards down there!

    Even moreso when the ball comes in quick and the fwds aren't competing against each other

    Kozzie 1 handball

    He needs to be dropped. He is not impacting games and nobody is doing him any favours by keeping him in the seniors. I’d give him 2-3 weeks in the 2s just to get his mojo back.

    I’ll say it - Pickett off Smith on

    Pickett needs to go back to VFL absolutely terrible performance. We need him playing well and he needs to go back to learn and find some form

    We need Trac and Kozzie to rise, or at least get the ball.

    I feel like we are being beaten at ground level (again)

    Our kicking and disposal efficiency is looking a lot better.

    Our F50 entries and general play look good.

    Steven May is brilliant.

    Is Kozzie asleep? He seems to be jogging around in a perpetual daze.

    If pickett can’t turn it around in the 2nd half he just MUST be dropped. Is sooo far off it.. Confidence shot.. Just can’t keep his spot in the side.

    Is kozzzzy trying ?????????? 

    Why try when you’ve got four more years in the bag?

    Pickett just watching there, applied zero pressure.

    Sub time?

    Goody needs to send a message to Kozzie. Drop him FFS.

    Cant keep getting a game on the basis of ‘game changer’.

    He hasn’t changed a game in 2 months!!!!!

    the commentators are openly barracking for the saints.

    we just look so far off it/ out of form 

    hopefully we run over the top of them in the second half

    Oh rubbish, he’s playing like a millionaire who thinks he’s better than what he is

    I’ve been lectured fairly solidly by some here for calling out Pickett’s performances these past couple of months. Obviously he’s got a whole half of football to make amends, but if this form continues tonight, those lecturers can stick their stat sheets where the sun don’t shine.

    disappointing quarter

    We are letting them stay in the game

    We seem so slow. No dare or run. By the time they move the pill forward, Saints have us covered. We look so ordinary to say the least.

    give kozzie 10mins in the next quarter if he is not showing any improvement put smith on. a lot of poor disposals as usual, just lucky its the saints that arent kicking straight. ben brown has show he can mark on the lead so why are we still kicking it to a pack. some of our player are just too slow in moving the ball on we have player open short that they could go to, to keep it moving but they go back and slow it all down before sending a long kick down the line where the saints talls mark it.

    • 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?
