Viney is being well shackled. Badly need Oliver back in this team to drive the team forward

    Thank goodness they can't kick straight 

    They would be ahead if they kicked straight.

    Momentum swings so much. Need to be more consistent.

     

    I tell you what watching live is far less stressful than TV.
     

    We look far more superior in structure but have been a bit clumsy with disposal and i50 entry. Nothing that cannot be tidied up.

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

    Both Brown and TMac are at the end. Both contracted for next year. Expect both to finish up then or retire early. Their bodies are shot sadly. Both great servants of the club and will be fondly remembered premiership players once they hang up the boots.

    At the game, and the lack of (defensive) pressure in the forward 50 is staggering! Ugly signs, and we’re going to get run over if we don’t improve our contest and pressure, Jack Viney excused, and assuming Crows have the legs. Can’t exit defensive with any conviction, can’t keep it in our own. Awful football, except for that bright 10 minutes.

    I hate jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to our KPF’s, but BBB is not providing a contest.

    I don't know why they persist with BBB

    He's been lacklustre. No doubt about it. I think Petty is a better option. But it won't happen. 

    I think Bbb gets another half a quarter before Smith is subbed .

    Good to see Chandler back in the goal scoring.

    We need to biry this side in the third. Are we seriously competing for a cup this year. No more just scraping in fgs.

    I think Max is tired from last week. Nice goal in the first but only three touches since. Lever not doing much. Anb needs to lift again.

    Milk is continuing his good form thank goodness 

    This game is poised at even money right now

    Yep, coming out way too quickly/easily.

    Whats so hard to have our talls bring it to ground with our smalls locking it up?

    Keep M Crouch and rankine quiet in the second half and we win comfortably

    All about starving supply, but they’re attacking much more than us, just have wasted shots.

    Has definitely been the case today: reckon he’s been better in the previous few weeks

    M crouch hadnt been able to get an AFL game, we should be able to quell his influence but I agree keeping rankine quiet is a challenge

    Maybe it is time for Petty to play forward and make Tommo a permanent fixture down back. I thought BBB was turning the corner a bit last week but he's off the boil today.

    Adelaide desperately need the 4 points to stay in the finals race. They're not going to go down easily

    Hopefully Goody straightens us back up at the break.

    Gawn has only 4 disposals to. Our midfield haps to do better to.

    Trac very off today

    Grundy>BB

    Yep, I think we have to have a tall beside JVR to give him that help. If not BB it probably has to be Grundy

    Minding their pacy forward is proving to be testing and the hit up mark on the wing hasn’t been there. Need the forwards to rotate up to be that option. Brown, trac, melk and JVR.  Adelaide doing lots of block/grapple work to keep them quiet. Umps will chirp in if our forward go the ball in air (as they have a couple times already)

    • 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?
