Surely Trac will have a better second half 

I know he's being tagged but Tracca always has better second halves than firsts for some reason.

      I wouldn’t describe our forward line or even attacking game as explosive. 

    Tedious, spluttering and inaccurate perhaps?

     

    Chins ok. Had a tough game, Taj going ok, both may have a better half.

    Billings out Bill Laurie in.

    1st half

    The good ✅running. Defence.  Structure.  

    👏Petty.  McVee. May. Lever. Sparrow. Lingers  

     

    The bad😡goalkicking is TERRIBLE. JVR. PICKETT. BILLINGS. JVR. GAWN. All are TERRIBLE. 


    🤨Billings 🤨Chandler 🤨

     🤢Trac. Fumbles and handballs.  One kick in a half.  More intensity. Less meatballs!!! 

    we’re lucky they also have butchered their opps. but reckon we should be 3 goals up. 

    Petty may have had a couple of clangers but he's well and truly back with those marks. Hard to stop with that timing.

    What’s happened to our midfield?

    I’ve been wondering for the last month. Something doesn’t smell right. 
     

    Trac getting tagged every week, Viney out of form. Oliver back to the pack and we are not really better than the average midfield.

     Ugly footy.
    The Melbourne way.


    We have dominated inside 50 s now.

    Need to score.

    Come on Dees.


    We don’t have enough dangerous players when the ball hits the ground i50. It’s Pickett or no-one at the moment.

    This is a million times better moving forward. Be patient and present with good kickers entering f50.

    • 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?
