    Jefferson the saviour? I doubt it.

    Saviour? I just want to see him (and the other players listed) take the field after having an interrupted pre-season.

     

    AND MORE OF THE SAME BOMBING INTO THE FORWARD LINE FFS !!🤮

    Do I think they’ll play with as little pressure as they are today come Opening Round? No

    Are there still concerning signs about our disposal and decision making (which have been an issue for years now)? Yes

    A bit of a pattern. I suppose you could blame it on our attempt to play fast football. Fastball is not our traditional strength

    Correct.

    I don't mind it though. We know we can play lockdown footy, it's the offensive exercution that kills us. Good to get some in game experience in.

    I’m so worried about it that I no longer am.

    Wait until next week, do you really want players to put there body's on the line for a scratch match, and get injured 

    You want to see something that shows we will be a better side, the key areas that we needed to improve was skill execution and forward line efficiency.  We have seen none of that

     

    The commentators have mentioned it a few times but the one positive from today seems to be Viney's inside 50s

    Poor Max.

    He looks like he hates having to kick at goal.

    Something needs to change. Just don't know what.

    • 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?
