Tigers dominating the centre clearances.

And smashing them in contested possessions also.

    The Tiges need to play body-to-body more, and to nominate an backline interceptor like Lever. McKay and Curnow are being given a run and jump at too many balls. 

    Blues getting murdered at ground level. Taranto, Green and Dusty tearing them to pieces.

    Not to make the non-MFC thread about us, but the speed teams are playing at this season is worrying.

    I don't think we've got the capacity to adapt to this with our list and gameplan. Might be a long one this year.

    Curnow is just so enjoyable to watch. Will be an all time great. A true KPF.

    Blues as good as they are offensively as they never win a flag without another KPD.

    Haven't capitalized on it though.

    Thought the Tiges held em off very well considering the time in possession & number of entries i50

    Poor conversion by the Blues. I hope they rue their poor goal kicking at the end of the game.

    He actually could be so much better. He's got very little craft or tact - he's all athleticism, footy IQ and skill. Obviously still enough to be just about the best forward in the comp but if you watch closely there's a lot he doesn't quite do that well

    Close game but not the best quality.

    Blues run forward of the ball way too much, Tigers get them on the counter when being a tad more defensive would help the Baggers (Not Goody level defensive).

    Tigers hanging in when they shouldn’t be, Carlton too busy thinking they are world beaters.

    More scuttlebutt about Petty going to the croweaters next year.

    We can't even get him on the park.

    Is it open season on Dees players?

    At that size, to move the way he does, is just freakish. His marks stick and has great kicking technique. Takes the very best to take him out of the game.

    The half time reporter from Adelaide just said that Harrison Petty is almost certain to be wearing Crows jumper next season.

    • 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?
