Solid half of footy.  We have been quite fumble at times, so a bit to tidy up.  Great to see McVee in great form at times.  
 

Biggest frustration that half for me was Rivers kicking.  Missed a short one that gave up a goal which happens.  The real frustration is when he kicks long and it goes super high and takes for ever to get there.  Kick it long, fast and flat and it becomes a weapon.

I think he does it on purpose to allow a player to run into the kick and create a contest.

    I love Riv, but I think his short disposal game can be questionable at times 

    I think he just makes overly aggressive decisions. Tommy McDonald did the same thing when he was around the same age. It's an education thing not a skill thing I think.

    I think we have largely been poor except for a handful of players and where in front, will definitely take that. If we can get a more even spread across the players in the second half we should get the win.

    Kozzie gone at least a week for that hit imo.

     

     

    Yep he's in trouble.

    He's letting the team down with that stuff. 

    Needs to stop asap.

    Clayton's having a bad night, hope he can lift in the next half, billings needs to improve his disposal efficiency is pretty poor.  he is not the only one, but two of his kicks could easily have been goals. Which ever one cannot lift early in the 3rd quarter probably needs to be sub'd off. I dont understand this umpiring crows players are tackled and do 360 turns before getting rid of the ball or dropping it an nothing. we have one player stripped of the ball seconds after getting it and its dropping the ball. inconsistency in their calling of holding the ball and dropping the ball is getting ridiculous.

    That was accidental mate, you've got to be kidding.

    If you don’t think they will give him a week for that then you haven’t been paying attention, I don’t agree with it but he will get a week I would be shocked if he doesn’t

    Plenty to like. Chandler's goalkicking.

    Petracca's game.

    Petty competitive.

    McVee is such a gun.

    TMac playing his role.

    Kozzie making an impact.

    Dislikes: Billings seems to hear footsteps. 

    Howes seems overawed.

    Three talls with Petty, JvR and BBB seems one too many.

    ANB continuing the good form as well IMO. McDonald, Lever, and McGee have all been great as well in defence.

    Is that Buster McGee?

    Why does he keep putting himself in these situations?

    A good question BBP. There’s physical then there’s dirty.

    Leadership should be bringing it up with him. He’s such a valuable player for us, he can’t help us if he continually gets suspended.

    Minimum of two weeks for Koz , and may even be as high as 4 , being intentional, head high and having priors.

    Silly boy

    I’ve been paying attention and it looked ok to me 

    If one of their duffers did that I wouldn’t be howling for a suspension 

    Really disappointing kozzy constantly does this [censored]. He’s really going to been known for this after his career if he continues and will over shadow all the good things he can do.

    When Windsor does something, he has impact. His touch forcing the ball over the boundary line in the back pocket stopping a crom player running into an open was smart and impactful. 
     

    his one arm handed grab of the ball at full pace on the wing moving forward was another special moment. 
     

    the kid has the goods and oozes class. Imagine when he learns to get the ball more often….

    Geez, when was the last time you saw the MRO results? It’ll be 1 week max just like King.

    • 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?
