Hopefully May runs through Ben Keys. He has a hugely punchable head.

    If I see to more of our players contesting the same ball, I will not make dry July.

    I think Adelaide have caught us off guard here. I don’t think anyone expected them to play so defensive and have an extra down back. We will adjust.

    Quarter riddled with mistakes and poor decisions 

     

    Poor execution and sloppiness will cost us here. Need to sharpen up and hit our targets.

    And then sit out for 3 weeks?

    Too many small forwards in this team.

    And yet still no influence.

    Good work from Max , Tommo, Jvr, Viney and Mcvee.


    We look a little exposed for leg speed here, getting wrapped up a lot

    5 crows leading the tackling stats tells a story

    Kossie started strongly, I like seeing him up the ground a bit more; getting amongst it.

    The thing that strikes me comparing this game to last night's is the pure structure of Melbourne's play. It's really professionally done, and I think even the dodgy looking forward entries are built to reinforce and enable this structure.

    Whether it can hold up and outscore your Collingwoods and Port Adelaides in finals remains to be seen but it's definitely different than their gamestyles.


    Adelaide’s pressure has been very good. They know their season is on the line.

    1st. 

    🤮Dees terrible kicking. Kozzzzy. Trac. May. Bad turnovers 

    🤔Mcvee struggling on Rankine (keep the faith) 

    🤔Lever brain fade deliberately out of bounds

    I think you’ll find it wouldn’t take much for him to drop.

    • 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.

      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?
