    I think Rivers behind the ball was about trying to use him to run and carry. 

    And to help our flailing defense

    One of the more mechanically good kicks in our team can't make the distance.

    I've never known what to make of Jake Billings.

    oh god...billings! going for goal...

    How on earth did we select a mature age AFL forward who can not kick a goal from 35m out?

    Amazing what happens when you lock in on the shoulder at clearances and jump into Darcy.

    Where was this in the 1st half?

    What's with us not turning up when playing Fremantle? Twice in the season already.

    Of course not having a ruck has killed us all around the ground, but the effort has been subpar compared to the last 3 weeks.

    I just want to see us fight in the 4th, not just roll over. Percentage will be huge to have any chance.

    Surely Darcy is gonna run out of juice if they don’t feed him a few burgers at 3/4 time?

    Im not sure what Goodwin or the recruiting team were thinking when they chose Billings.

    Nor why they selected him ahead of Fullo for today's game.

    The insanity inside the FD continues.

    Yep and he’s done both and Salem’s been no different on ball whilst Viney and a little bit of Oliver have got more of it in the middle.

    Good move from Goody. Freshen’s Trent up for next week too.

    Thought I'd get a head start and hit the toilet while Billings shoots for goal.

    Came back, scores unchanged. Has he had his kick yet?

    How can billings not even score?

    6 goals will be hard but we can at least make this a contest. It’s also sad to see Longmuire so angry, he expected a total annihalation today.

    • 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?
