    The timing of his jump and sheer reach is awesome. He's looking good.

    Brayshaw still off getting assessed for concussion 

    I reckon he’ll get subbed off. It was a clear ground hit and mcclugge should get suspended. Should have been a free and yet they pay the cheap one to the Lions 5 seconds later which results in a goal.

    Poor clearance work late.

    Why does it often Gawn wins the hit out but the balls finds only opposition players...

    Is it the position of our mids around the ruck contest?

    Uneducated post. Melksham could have had 3 goals.

    Clearance work in the first 10 mins was first class. Need to not overthink it

    May has to tighten up on Daniher who looks like he might have one of those ‘on’ nights. 

    Really like what Melk brings. Has looked dangerous, will be even better if he kicks a few. But love the contribution, gets to the right spaces as always.

    Is that the one when he tapped that one straight to the Lions player after our last goal.

    What’s wrong with the old ‘Jeff White’ thump it forward hit out?

    Brisbane got too much reward in that Q1. Melbourne clearly dominated the contest.

    if Milkshake could kick straight - eg score a snap from 15m directly in front 

    We’d be 5 goals up

    Hot start, could have been hotter with Melksham kicking a couple extra. Would love to blow them away now and then defend for the second half.

    Really he got a kick after that play 


    That was nice to read a GameDay thread for a quarter without a meltdown.

    Nice dumping tackle on Gus not picked up by umps.

    This!

    Just get the ball out of the way when there is less than 30 seconds... It's a no brainer.

    Sometimes we try to be too perfect.

    I’m probably one of the few liking Milkshakes game and role. One free kick wasn’t there against Harris-Andrews as the body work was to assist the mark.

    His one wood is his kicking so I’m backing him to slot more than he misses although he should have at least one on the board.

    Absolutely, looks engaged and involved in the game doing some really nice things 

     

    How was that kick from Petracca. This move into the forward line seems to have rejuvenated him a bit, he's so much more dynamic.

    • 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?
