What would you have been happy with? Great fight back after a horrific start

Trent Rivers desperation. Saved us a goal 

His blunder nearly cost us one too. Hasn’t had a great game.


Remember how % works. A narrow win to the lions will still erode their %.

Rivers is a jet. Most underrated player going around. He’s bordering on an A-grader but never gets a mention 

Realistically we sank our chance of a percentage booster in the first quarter, time to avoid injury now and hopefully extend the lead by a goal or two.

2nd spot won’t be won or lost today, still got 3 games to win.

Freo win would be even better

A switched on team from the start. No less than a 10 goal win as a starter. The fact we chose to rest no one against a team that had lost 17 straight indicated we knew % was a factor.

Petty smiling in the dugout. Good sign i hope

After the way we started today, I am just relieved to bank a win


HOORAYYYYY

Couple more would be nice.

  • 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?
