Turnovers.  So lazy. Salem shocking turnovers.  Missed target x2 led to goals to Freo. Why is he even in.  Lazy player. Switkowski. Salem runs off and gets caught out as a non defender!!  Poor 

Contested possession - Freo +28!!

stoppages Freo +7 (5-12) 

forward turnovers  dees 7 score nil 

forward turnovers Freo 13 goals 8 

Hunter - 2 missed tackles weak  

Petty is nothing  can’t mark can’t tackle 

Turner gives nothing  out marked and out run by defenders 

Sparrow  Rivers fumbles 

Sparrow on Young  young giving him a bath 

Trac  30 metre angle - left foot snaps wtf !!! Use right foot 

Freo  kick run mark skills 😡😡

Best players  NIL 

coach Nil

    OLIVER ZERO CONTESTED POSSESSIONS IN A HALF OF FOOTY

    VINEY WITH ONE

    WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS MIDFIELD?!

    It has been run into the ground by a severe lack of depth and quality rotations. Our recruiting has been diabolical.

    The Goodwin gameplan has severely under valued speed and transition on top so we are now overly reliant on centre breaks and dominance at half back.

    This midfield implosion has been in the making for at least 2 yrs.

    Not really surprised after the eagles game.

    Oliver is a shadow of his old self.

    Tracca has been quiet this year too.

    Sparrow is lucky to get games.

    And then there is our fwd line.

    We don't have one. 

    We are shot and we have few coming up through the ranks.

    Our dominance is well and truly over.

    It's back to the dark old days.

    Or at least mediocrity.

    Two Freo players hold the ball and effectively tackle each other Nibbles tackles them. No holding the ball. WTF???

    Didn’t we have a 51 point comeback with Austin back in the day haha, we’re gonna need exactly that to win and restrict them the nil.

    Go dees! Gotta laugh because I feel like crying. This isn’t system adjustment stuff, this is just sad. 

    Except for the first 5 minutes, they are making us look amateurs...

    Freo pressure and system totally killing us, easily moving end to end and blocking all exits. 

    No pressure or even fight around contest, unlike free around the contest.  

    Pity any dees supporters that flew up the watch. 


    Worst first half since 2018 prelim. 3rd grossly uncompetitive display this season. WTF is going on?

    absolutely terrible effort, while max is getting the tap out it is going to the opposition and they are clearing the ball, he need to get the ball to our players. when it goes the freo players out of the ruck, our midfield is not putting pressure on them. why they hell do we not man up they are running rings around us with this stupid zone game we play. collingwood and north must be loving this.


    Heads will roll for this performance. Something is seriously wrong with this club. West coast, now this. Need to step back and rethink the list

    Not trading Petty to Adelaide is one of our bigger list mistakes in a long time

    We would be lucky to get a bag of old marbles for him .

    One disposal for a half.

    No marbles.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    In reality ...selling the game is NOT the real issue.

    Getting thumped is..

    We play like yoyos 

    Team is very over-rated imo... sorry to say.

    Nice the lads have a good mate in  Simon

    Kum by ya ...

    Go Dees ( back to the airport....just go home..... youre obvious not interested)

    • 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.

      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?
