We are getting smashed. Time to try something different. McVee and Kolt to the guts.

    Lever [censored] lazy defending!

    Sparrow too busy guarding space when Fyfe was by himself.

    Petty is as weak as a butter in every ruck contest.

    Embarrassing display. About ready to turn it off.


    Nice easy training run for Freo. Fullarton couldn't have done any worse than our current rucks. This is just embarrassing.

    We're lucky not to be down by 10 goals already.

    Bombing it down the line with no ruckman isn't working, need to run and overlap to break through their zone.

    Winning a clearance or 2 would be a good idea as well.

    Yep i agree with that

    Chin's man in the middle there.  He was just ball watching even after they held it up for 10 seconds on the wing.

    Disgraceful defending

    switched off. 

     

    This is worse than the last time we played them and that was the worst game I’ve seen us play under Goodwin. 


    At least we have the bombers loss to remember.. might turn on that replay 

    Fell right into Walters lap, it's all going right.

    Something isn't right with Lever 

    Just gonna chuck the rods in the car.

    Glad I’ve waited all weekend for this. Can’t believe this is how we play when a top 4/5 spot is on the line……No ruckman is a disgraceful decision. 


    Goodwin has to do something different. We can’t have another smashing or one team will cost us finals.

    • 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?
