    Hopefully we learnt this yesterday! 

    Well we can only hope they have. It's going to be a tough game next week!

    I wish we got Hayden McLean instead of Grundy. He was the perfect fit.

    2 deeply flawed goal review won Carlton this game.

    Conventional wisdom has just three teams with felines as their nickname - Tigers, Lions, Cats, but that doesn't recognise the fourth team, the Carlton Cheaters.

    No McKay, no Martin.  Tomlinson no chance now.  Need to plan for the small forwards.  That's the danger. And not spend all night bombing it to Weitering.

    That game will have taken a lot out of the blues. We have extra days rest. Martin will prob get suspended and McKay won’t play. 

    True. But we’ll still bomb the ball in a billion times and score 6.28…🤣😭

    Its Carlton next week. McKay out concussion. Martin likely to get a week for striking.

    Martin will get off with a fine, or an apology.

    I’d almost be upset if it didn’t happen to Sydney who deserved to lose on a flawed goal review system.

    You have to think after watching that the ARC has been told they must make a decision. Insufficient evidence seems to have been taken out of the mix.

    If only that was the case 5 weeks ago we'd be playing Brisbane tomorrow night at the G. Funny how things have worked against us this year. We can't take a trick.

    Was McLean available?

    Had a year to run last off season, but signed a four year extension recently.

    Nah sorry nobody deserves to lose on a crappy score review system

    After our loss to Carlton we all said it’s going to cost someone a final - well here we are it has 

    Its a farce

    I could not have been more vocal about my rage towards this pathetic system. It is a literal piece of garbage someone is filming on their handycam they purchased from Ted’s in 1987 to make a porno. 

    A pre schooler with $30 can go to JB Hifi and do better. 
     

    I just like the full circle irony of life. And football.

    McKay may have a rib problem rather than concussion so could end up playing after all.

    He was groggy on his feet walking off the ground, that ain’t ribs!

    • 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?
