I wouldn't read too much into this game.  St Kilda's pressure and effort was non existent.

    That's more like it !!

    We were a bit scrappy early but  a burst of class in the 3rd quarter did the business . After that, apart from a couple of disappointing junk time goals, we smashed them.

    PS . You will never see a better ruckman than Max Gawn !

    PPS. That new player, Thommo I think his name is, did ok too.

    First half was as boring as I’ve seen in a while, second half when we played on from the marks was really good to watch.

    Tommo great inclusion. Max just huge as always. Petty and McAdam can go in the bin. 

    Petty is woefully out of form. Maybe just not a forward I guess. It happens.

    They looked at his foot, but supposedly more precaution than an injury.

    Last 5 minutes were annoying but that was a solid win overall. We moved the ball much quicker which was good to see.

    Gawn was unreal. His tapwork was as good as it's been in years. 

    A big shout out to Tmac as well. He's been outstanding this year.

    Last 3 goals to the saints. Cost me $200 win !!! FFS. Went defensive when 9 goals up 

    $100 for me. I absolutely hate over/unders or margin bracket legs in a MFC game but got sucked in.

    • 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.

      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?
