Credit to West Coast, they were very good and far superior to us. 
Unfortunately I don’t think we have the list to play this new game plan we are trying to execute, and when you combine that with a midfield that has not fired a shot all year, something has to really change for us to contend.

Spot on, except I'd say it's 3 years we've had to work on an oppo key forward to get them to us, for nadda.

We've played Petty forward when he's a far better back, paid $600k to watch Grundy play VFL, and now are playing BBB and Turner forward simply because there's no one else.

I'd say our window is well and truly shut. One flag during lockdown from the best list we've had in 60 years. So disappointing 

Window gone, sounds ruthless as our only living premiership coach but why the rush to extend last year?? Haven’t won a final in since 21 flag, can’t help u juries to BB & Tmac but their plan B and recruiting of fwds has been abysmal & start me on the Grundy bs 

 

Rivers my god.  He's turning into the medium sized version of Frosty

When opening this thread was wondering how many posts before “danger game” was thrown up, didn’t get past the first post. Seriously we should destroy the Eagles. Mainly interested to see McAdam play, honestly didn’t know who he was being we picked him up. If he can bring some magic to our fwd line it will obviously make us more dangerous with both him and Kosi down there. Also when Kosi has stints on the ball we will still have some serious X factor in our fwd 50. 
If we are going to try anything today let’s try getting separation with our fwds and back them in one on one.

We're simply not that good

Yep.

We are not.

Last few games have been putrid.

Except for cats who have we beaten. Port?

And now this.

And who do we have at Casey?

 

 

I have not watched or listened but watched the scores as they changed 

 

I take it there are learnings to be had.

sugar coating a turred does not amount to much

Goodwin has absolutely munted this list.

Unless Gawn, Petracca & Oliver dominate every week we generally  lose. They have no quality support around them. We have no midfield depth for regular rotation or to mix it up. The same predictable [censored].

Forward of centre we've been terrible since mid 2022. Goodwin has done nothing but flood our list with mediocre forwards (at the expense of our midfield) - not addressed the actual problem.

We play slow because we are slow.

If he comes out and says we didn't get the game on our terms I'll spew.

  • 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?
