    Blues starting to panic.

    Pies getting their turnover game together off HB the last few weeks.  Bit of a worry

    More stoppages. Less chaos. More contest to contest. Exactly how we beat them Kings Birthday last year.

    You can’t panic, and try and run and gun. That’s how they want it.

    Does anyone else find it funny that Buckley has been involved with the Pies almost non stop for 35 years, yet only played in 3 losing GFs and missed the two GF wins?

    IIMO the difference in forward structures tonight is akin to what we’ll see tomorrow night. One team with two bigs and not much by way of small goal kickers, and the other with one tall (yet to score) and one or two dangerous smalls (Elliot, Daicos).

    Only looking to see the Blues strengths and weaknesses. Fair chance we’ll be playing the Blues with them coming off two losses.

    Just so I could watch Joel Selwood interview a 10 year old auskicker. 

    He was so uncomfortable.

    Maynard drives his head into the turf and the commentators give it the all clear. He obviously took a dive and drove his own head into the turf.

    Such a dog.

    He'll get off again.

    It was such a textbook piledrive from Maynard, I'm hoping a few weeks.

    Commentary so putrid about it - if there was ever a player with prior form.

    Owies flipped him. Dislike Maynard all you want (I most definitely do) but that was all on Owies.

    The Pies tackling has got them back into the game. They were asleep for the first 10 minutes.

    I take back what I said about the Blues not having a small forward.

    • 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?
