For all the doom and gloom, we are still in this. Massive rocket needed at half time.

    100%. It’s criminal that they’re not all on their bikes anytime the ball comes past half way

    I have posts from 2022 and 2023 pointing this out multiple times. Yes there’s ignored leads but Jesus, Goodwin has had years to figure this out and thus far, opening rd 2024, here we are again!!! How??????

    Where are the deft knock-ons and measured kicks into the 50 we saw plenty of vs Carlton when there was nothing on the line? I think the players freak out under pressure and revert to garbage habits. Strange for a premiership winning team but I guess that's where we're at. Ultimately these bad habits are the fault of the coaches though I suppose.

    When Joeboy does his review, he’s got 66 or 69 words available to him. I’m willing to grant him the use of the word “lazy” about 30 times, in whatever mix he chooses. Max of 3 lazy’s for any one player. 

    Windsor is a player. Great vision there

    Back line holding up well for sure. Let down by poor skills/disposal further up the ground. 

    Tommo good. May too.

    Oh boy did we need that .

    • 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?
