Haven't watched the game due to being overseas, what's happened to Salem? Says he's injured, AGAIN?! 

Have said nothing on tv about it so far. He was in the midfield and then disappeared so possible. 
He is too fragile to play midfield.

    Lever has had one of the all times (for what he's impacted / contributed to).

    I am not saying it’s working. Or a good strategy. Just answering the question. 
     

    Midfield and defense should be ashamed of this performance. Senior players an absolute disgrace with lack of accountability and defensive effort. 
    No excuses and I love May but Jesus stop carrying on like a pork chop, you’ve been embarrassed today. 

    Yep, I gotcha.

    We seem to be quite amazing at coming up with a strategy and sticking with it ALL game even when it's clearly not working.

    10 mins left and there's still loose Freo players everywhere in their f50

    It's that same old question mark about our lack of flexibility and adapting mid game if something is not working.

    Hasn’t been mentioned on the TV. Will let you know when I hear.

    This was never a team that was going to challenge for the flag. I had us making the 8 even with Gawn and Trac. Gonna be tough from here on out.

    After really fighting hard last week, did not expect us to be as soft as we have been today.

    Billings with 15 and a goal in a Q has been better than most

    I'm not sure what it says about our steam when Billings has already had more possessions in a half than about 3/4 of our side.

    Also I think we can dispel this is our 2nd home [censored]. Yes I know the significance of the ground but we are hopeless here.

    For what exactly?

    It was going to be hope for the rest of the season Murdoc. I'd like to change it to 'hope I've still got a little Scotch left from last week'

    Not that it makes any difference to the result but why does Sparrow continue to 'walk on water'? Seriously, when was the last decent game he has played? 2021 GF? So did everyone. Please don't give me 'he's playing a role'. [censored]. OK, midfield cupboard is fairly bare but make an example this bloke. Promote Brown and let Tom kick off the dew at Casey.

    And too slow off the mark.  Too often second to the ball.  He is simply NOT a mid fielder in any sense of the role and brings nothing to the table other than handing the oppo another opportunity at first use.

    Another terrible coaching decision from Simon today.


    Our shape around stoppage has been diabolical today along with everything else.

    Div 7 type positional awareness.

    Because something something he plays good defensive rubbish

    Lever embarrassing -  leaked goals all day.  Honestly can’t believe how lose he’s been and when he has won the ball he’s turned it over consistently

    If a bloke of Turners size can’t mark he shouldn’t be in the team. That dropped mark was amateur hour

    • 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?
