    The viewing experience at this ground is atrocious 

    I will never understand why you bother coming to the footy only to spend half the game going in and out of your seat to drink. Like why not get drunk for free at home?

    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. 

    Personally I know where to stick the stats sheets full stop..

    Kozzy is scared for the contest after getting suspended early in year he needs a spell 

    he has to tackle someone before that becomes a risk, and so far there has been no danger of that happening.

    The Saints threw everything at us in the first qtr and we took it well. I expect us to run away with this in the second half.

    Nup...one touch in a half.

    Needs to subbed off.

    Can't carry that. We didn't Spargo.

    Who’s the third? 
     

    King, Ross and who else?

    Lots of poor decisions and pressure/defence from half forward to the half back line has been very minimal, they are finding a lot of easy passes through the middle. 
     

    We are up, they have 3 players out. If we lose this then this will go down as bad a loss as the clubs had. 
    Lots need to change in the second half, compose with ball in hand is the most important. We are making so many mistakes under minimal pressure. Clean that up and we run away with this. Don’t or underestimate their desire and we lose. Lyon will have them pushing themselves to beyond their normal limits this second half.

    Goodwin needs to find a way to get this team back to 21 when they hunted teams and had an edge to them.

    Didn't catch the name someone got collected in a marking contest before halftime 

    Selection of Spargo and Melksham has been much criticized. Both are doing far better than the much-vaunted Kozzie.  It's baffling and frustrating because we all know how dynamic Kozzie can be.

    Goodwin put a rocket up picketts [censored] at half time. If we are any sot of side with their injuries we should win by 10 goals.

    Ok, no idea what the [censored] you are on about @Macca I’ve no agenda against Brayshaw, but you have singled me out for some reason. What ever. 

    I'm simply saying that his good work never gets recognised nor are other players who make the same errors (under pressure) being pointed out

    It's just always Brayshaw and never anyone else.  Except for maybe ANB and that's often unfair as well

    Both players are in the thick of things and both are often under the hammer when disposing of the ball

    Neither player is A grade so they are going to make a few errors.  From my point of view, it's easy to deal with

    The bigger issue are the players who aren't getting the ball enough.  Now that is a problem.  Or those who can't kick straight for goal

    Brayshaw has had 12 disposals and none of his few errors have led to opposition scores anyway ... anyone would think that he's turned the ball over 12 times given the levels of exaggeration on these threads

    • 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?
