    It's hard to admit, but our reject ruckman has outplayed Max tonight.

    Disgraceful 

    Brundy is an AA ruckman, probably the second best in the league, and had a point to prove.

    Poor Windsor. He'll learn from that. 

    He was sold out by his team mates who didn't talk at all.

    Oliver no way his ready 

    So would you prefer him not to play, and have another Spargo / Laurie / whomever in hi space.

    26 disposals is modest by his standards but a decent contribution nevertheless.

    Our worst loss all season in 2023 was 15 points. We're already worse off and defending hasn't been our main issue tonight. It's gonna be a slog of a year.

    It's a bit flattering. Sydney's kicking was woeful for a quarter or more.

    We look like we're going backwards.

    The B graders are working us out now.

    Well we have a week to see if the media is right.

    On tonight's effort, I'm thinking they may be.

    Probably only six or seven can hold their heads up today.

    Nothing in the slightest has changed up fwd.

    How are we going to score this year?

    Jvr looks like a first gamer.

    A purple patch from Fritta.

    It doesn't look positive.

    We can only hope Petty plays a full season.

    Unfit and fatigued 

    This 

    This may be the last season of Gawn at the top, hard reality coming to us at Ruck in the near future.

    Salem in the midfield hasn't seem to have been as good as I thought 

    He doesn't have the physicality or the tank. Maybe try him at HF?

    Sydney aren’t that good so a big worry for us. If anyone mentions training loads and is serious I’ll spew up!

    Let’s not forget early in the year last year we looked terrible in the northern states playing in humid conditions. It’s not our go.

    stick together.

    Clarry needed the run and will get up to speed quicker playing AFL.

    • 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?
