As much as we are OFF they are ON. Everything they touch is gold & we’re using two grabs to pick up [censored]

    Disco has quite the kick. 

    Seriously, if we can enter the main break having at least made inroads into the lead that will be something to work with, so another would be nice. Two would be great.

    Max no point punching it forward out of the ruck comtests as the Blues have a defensive (spare) sweeper sitting right in the hole waiting for that.

    If you're punching it away at least target someone like Windsor out wide who can burst out and find a target inside

    This just isn't our night, spent all our energy last week it seems. 

    We are so predictable. You didn't need to be a fortune teller to know we'd lack energy tonight. This is so similar to the Brisbane game. We really lack smarts. Why they didn't inject some fresh players beats me.

    Jeez, what a bad half of footy. Absolutely no forward method whatsoever, and forward pressure nonexistent. On top of that we're losing clearance and contest, so the ball is just constantly in Carlton hands.

    As much as we love Max his hit out work is suspect, or our mid fielders don't take their positions at stoppage. It's one or the other.

    First use to the opposition 80% of the time.

    Rivers is caught high… after having already been punched in the head, and nothing on either occasion?

    He was even wearing a bandage for visibility! And still nothing!!

     [censored] half. We made no inroads into the q1 lead, so it will need to be a pretty amazing q3. 

    dunno. Can’t see it. We don’t have enough winners. Some guys completely absent. Walsh smashing us. Weitering everywhere.

    • 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?
