    Quality of the contest belies the relative ladder position of both sides.

    Do I not know what belies mean? This looks exactly what 16 v 19 should look like

    Certainly do and am enjoying the game. A tight competitive contest with most blokes giving it a real go.

    Interesting to see that Fraser Rosman is currently lining up for Port Melbourne.

    Schache - good, but could easily be better, not screaming afl 

    Fullarton - Schache with more speed but less skill

    Jeffo - stats aren’t there but looked faster and more willing, not his worst game. No coordination going forward 

    KFW - probably the worst, but geez he barely plays. Such a waste of time him turning up 

    Willy V - slowed a bit in q2 and did a few too many ruckman things, doesn’t kick as well as he thinks.

    Laurie - cracking in hard but he can’t break in to space and the missed tackles are killers

    Hunter - a mile off

    Tomlinson - lifted but still meh

    Turner - reading it beautifully  and getting hands on it, rusty but promising 

    Adams - gets spun around too easily, gets caught flat footed with the ball and bangs it to no one.

    AMW - willing tackler, competes well, decision making/ball use shaky 

    Sesto - good when he finds the ball, just doesn’t find enough

    Kynan Brown - willing, able

    Jeffo really needs to get more involved.  I may have missed a few but barely sighted for mine

    I know he's had a shoulder issue but Ollie's run past the ball quite a bit today and / or just sits back ball watching.

    Laurie showing plenty.     
    Fullarton has promise for the near future.      
    Verrall definitely in time.     
    Turner not bad for a first up run.   
    Tomlinson looks disinterested and confidence shot. Understandable on both counts.  
    Grave doubts about Jefferson.    
    Put a line through Sestan.    
    Are they having a laugh by playing KFW?

    Why does this commentator scream in to the mic at every shot at goal? Someone fix him. Please. It’s been going on for years

    Moniz is a forward every day of the week.  Madness trying to make him into something he isn't imv.

    Will he learn some defensive aspects...maybe.  But in the course of doing so he might also lose some of his crumbing/ offensive flair, skill and intuition.

    He is the worst... and often louder for anyone non-Casey

    You don’t lose skills in a few weeks and we have no small defensive depth, but the moment we have any defenders back he needs to go forward again.

    I get that but its not like he's going to be the difference down back.  He might up forward and in the mean time has no chance to score and possibly stick his hand up for a berth at senior level either.

    What a waste.

    Hunter can play his role from here surely

    Also very little pressure when the ball hits the deck inside 50.  You just had Turner come all the way from HB after being involved in the first part of the chain there.... then having to put a 3rd effort in to try and pressure loose Port players inside 50.

    Ridiculous

    Verrall’s mastered the Gawn move (hit it straight to the opposition mids)

    Hasn't looked out of place either, taken some marks up the wing and used his body well.

    Getting beaten purely by the Port’s strong bodies ability to get hands out whilst being tackled. And umpires giving them a ridiculous amount of leeway to do so

    • 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?
