Much more positive that qtr - great games from Brown Jr and Windsor in their first outing, and Billings ball use has really stood out

    Rivers ball use has been deplorable

    Agree on that,

    Bowy, Rivo, McVee, Billings are going to be integral to our ball movement, would like to see them hit targets consistently.

    Bowey and Billings have been good, surprisingly also Viney.

    I think there were (and are) enough worrying signs against a second string outfit to warrant some panicky posts, pre-season or not.

    It’s our second string outfit too. No Brayshaw, Oliver, Salem, Gawn off the whole quarter, petty, B. Brown, Hunter…it’s funny the argument only applies to our opposition

    But nothing has improved from 2023?

    You can’t reach that conclusion based on what we do in a practice match. 

    It’s not real.

    Has been some good signs and some big flat spots but would be great to finish off with a bit of Thorstrop magic

    Game day threads haven’t, that’s for sure.

    It’s not even. It’s a match simulation 

    True, this is even less real. 

    I mean, what are we playing here, seven “quarters”?

    Did anyone notice any changes or influence, McQualter made on the mids?

    By definition an opportunity to dance with someone else’s sister.


    Anyone here that still think Laurie is an AFL footballer is out of their minds. He had two goes at it then and coughs up a goal. Been unsighted most of the day and when sighted, made many errors 

    K Brown very impressive. Probably starts off in the VFL with such a slight frame though. (I think!)

     

    Bill Laurie… that was a poor passage mate

    Jack Viney has been our best by far today


    Edit: I misread a post and responded to it with confusion. The post was about Laurie so it seems I may have been channeling his play today.

    • 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?
