Ump 22 again

 

For whatever reason every dump kick out of our 50 is going to a Blues player 

Nah, not good enough. We are going forward and the ball is being contested and dropped to the ground where Blues are mopping it up. Zero pressure. We miss Spargo in games like this. Very very poor.

    I suspected the midfield is going to struggle today. Not going to end well if we can’t win some clean ball in stoppage.

    Who was the turkey who said umps weren't the problem.

    We don't look like scoring tonight. We're trying to run the ball down the ground through handball and aren't slick enough. The last disposal going inside 50 is deplorable and Carlton can then get us on the counter.

    Losing a lot of contested ball as well, which isn't what we would have wanted vs Carlton.

    Game over


    I count we have gone to Fritsch 6 times this Q. He is clearly outsized

    Why not kick to JVR or Petty or Turner?!?!?!?

    Frees 8-2. Looks a pattern.

    Mckay, Pittonet and Dekonning all with goals in wet conditions.

    You can't excuse. You just can't. Carlton have barely gotten out of second gear. That was a clinic in wet weather football.

    • 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?
