    Can’t see how selling this game compensates from potentially missing a top 4 position.

    They’ve beaten us consistently at the MCG. The ground is not the issue.

    Love Kozzies effort but he really needs to work on his disposal.

    And some think he is elite with disposal.

     

    Oliver with five touches.

    No problem with our midfield.

    Some things just are in football with no need for learning a system.

    A 5kg dumbbell is a 5kg dumbbell, a short handball is a short handball, a 35 metre set shot...

    Mc Adam has done about as much as Fullarton this year. 🙄

    Watch this now become a slog and arm wrestle where we just let the game drift away.

    Why not be proactive for a change, and simply attack……………you know, like we used to do when we were good?

    No. An arm wrestle involves two competitors. 

    We are such a slow team and every other side knows it, if they just come out hard we can’t keep up. We are betting everything on been close enough in the 2nd half to make it a game

    Whatever Goodwin and his coaching team are trying to do this year they need to go back to basics. We are so out of sync and just average. There's no identity to what we're doing.

    We're not even at half time yet and the week's footy shows already have an entire week's worth of content to talk about. This isn't just a player issue. This is a comprehensive structural breakdown.


    This game from us reminds me of the expression...

    Bruise free football.

    Not according to our pres who would sign Goodwin to a 10-year extension if she could.

    Unless and until we find a forward coach with forward experience and forward nous we will not be true contenders.   
     

    Enough is enough. 

     

    These umpires are terribly inconsistent. Pay a free to freo then 30 secs later ignore a dees free. FMS

    we have no offensive system at all and the amount of lazy, long bomb kicks is embarrassing, we would do 10-15 for every 1 that Freo do and it's really showing

    • 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?
