    Short of our little burst at the start of that quarter, Adelaide are dominating general play.

    Simply not enough marking options forward, hence why the ball keeps getting intercepted.

    Forward! Hasn’t been forward for 15 minutes

    It’s a shame we didn’t capitalise off that good start. The crows definitely took it up to us and we’re a little lucky they have been inaccurate. They’re a danger team and need to be given due respect in the second half. 

     Need to start strong and take chances.

    Trac looking knackered

    i don’t know but he looks like he copped a knock. he got up from a tackle gingerly early and looks off

    I love Ben Brown Premiership player but FMD he can't compete anymore.

    Prove us all wrong BBB.

    Come out and compete son.

    Lucky to be in front at halftime. BBB's AFL career must be very close to the end on that showing.

    ANB to Casey

    B Brown is finished

    Petracca having one of those games

     

    ANB has been fine. good link up play. an assist, 3 score involvements. couple of clangers but he is not the problem

    A little untidy with our disposal in the second half of that quarter. We were still winning contests but turning over the possession and squandering breaks out of the contest.

    • 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?
