Fritsch when he got that 50, smith got loose in our 50 calling for it but fritta chose to take a shot and of course missed.

    Where is KC from Casey have we barred the Maynard's from setting foot in the Clubhouse?

    Any names on honour boards and the like, if his old man is on the committee there is no way he survives this.

    His son has torched their roots.

    Wow, could never have guessed it would be wasted inside 50's and forward efficiency that would be our undoing, who could have seen that coming.

    So why do you want Cox to do his ACL?

    Maybe Jaded noticed Cox tried to break Tracs legs.

    We need a Curnow type gun who might be able to mark one or two of those dumb bombs into the 50, since we are intent on dumping the ball forward without bothering to look. 

    Hopefully we think about this when we go shopping for players this year.

    Trying my best to hate him but there was nothing in it. He will be free to play.

    You have got to be kidding me?!?! MRO have been about three things all season- the outcome ie what happen to the player he hit and whether he hit the head. Also how could he avoided the situation- he was front on and  decided to turn side on and collect Gus with his shoulder. Should get 4 weeks.

    Geez if Collingwood win the flag something is wrong with the AFL, bog ordinary team. They were just lucky we brought out seasons worst tonight

    Another way of looking at is that Collingwood withstood massive territory dominance by the MFC by bringing  elite pressure for most of the game and winning countless defensive 50 intercepts.

    I can’t see their prelim opponent dominating territory like we did, and accordingly they will account for their prelim opponent quite easily.

    Because he lined Gawn up from literally the first bounce. He kneed him at every chance. He also kneed Trac. 
    He is another hack thug who plays with one purpose and one purpose only, to injure his opponent.

    Our game is so much better than these truly awful footballers who run around like some pseudo thug heroes. 
    I note Maynard didn’t line up Viney. Because he’s a coward. Likewise Cox. Go for players when they’re open and vulnerable. 
    Gawn again proved that Cox is nothing but a hack. He destroyed him.

    This one will take a while to digest. I’m incredibly disappointed by our forward structure in the first half. Things looked better later, but you can’t give them such a head start. This is comes down to coaching and is bordering on hubris.

    And how come the yank [censored] gets a few hit at Max every first centre bounce. Hate him more than any other player

    We kept them to 2 behinds in that final term. We had chances. Friita, sparrow and Pickett all kicking it out on the full. 

    Max botching his pass and his shot for goal earlier, Langdon selfishly taking the advantage when he didn't have to in the 3rd quarter. Pickett missing some easy ones.

    Trac went missing. Oliver's kicks went nowhere & van Rooyen realised finals is a whole new level 

    Think it was Fritta, Riv and Kozzie with out on the fulls in the last - Sparrow had the HTB in the pocket.

    There's no way he will get suspended for that, will be a joke if he does.

    The love for Maynard on this site make me puke. He jumped off the ground. Brayshaw had no serious forward momentum and was wide open. Maynard could easily have used his hands to block but turned his shoulder and smashed him in the head. It was at worst intentional at best careless. He then get a chance to plead his case. In the meantime we lose a key player possibly costing us the game. Spare me the bs it a footy incident.

    Yeah I don’t like either of them as players but I don’t wish them to do career threatening injuries…I guess we are all different though. 
    Agree that Gawn dominated Cox. He played a great game.

    Same. I feel flat. I'd rather lose my 8 goals then get that close.

    I hope they look at that terrible first half and how we just kept bombing it in

    We kept them to 60 points, a beatable score.

    Not on the backline, we needed to get more scores from all those I50's.

    Help if we actually kicked straight!

    Did Bailey Laurie do anything in that final quarter?

    Did nothing the whole game except fumble. Needs to come out for Spargo next week. Hopefully the kid makes it, but not ready currently.

    Really flat after that one. We won’t win many/any games with a first half like that. Great attitude to not drop the head in the second half. Got a mountain to climb now, but if anyone can do it, we can.

    He made the decision to turn and hit Gus with his shoulder. We are protecting the head and very serious injury no?!

    This. He had no reason to leave the ground. None.

    The expected score is going to be ugly.

     

    But if we take the British view of the game, we won the moral victory! See you in the moral Prelim, ya losers

    • 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.

      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?
