Only thing is, has a full pre-season to be ready again.

This night doesn't want to end.

Or a knee.

    I can think of three instances over the last 4 or 5 years where play has been stopped and Melbourne has featured in all of them.

    WCE v Dees in 2021, BL v Dees 2023, and now I believe.

    Careful with facts and rational thought process it’s not in style atm 

    Ah... I thought this was a post match thread. I forgot it's the game day thread. 

    Yeah, [censored] it. Get rid of him too.

    We always cop the lightning game

    Hopefully it has broken some sort of curse.

    The only thing I can take out of tonight.

    I'am starting to grow very tired of the regime right at the top from Roffey, Pert, Richardson and Goodwin.

    "Play the youngsters"-  How about we do it next year in key defence too?

    TMAC should retire and let a kid come through. dont care how good he's been, last few weeks have been pretty poor. Play Petty or Turner 

    Trade Salem, soft and overated the last couple of years.

    What a sad, embarrassing way to end the season. Barely fired a shot.

    I'll probably cop flack for this but I think we should seriously entertain the idea of trading Fritsch.

    I'm 100% with you. Big sook who likes to get the ball in the open by himself. Has skills but no gumption at all. Let the scribes have a go at both of us.

    I just hope our defence holds up with two key defenders using walking frames

     

    I’m sitting here with electricity on watching the TV

     

    Weak p-r-i-c-k-s. 
     

    I ain’t worried.

    They spread so much better than we do. They spread like butter left out on the bench on a warm day. We're butter coming straight out of the fridge.

    And they use a knife. We use our fingers then try to mark the ball or miss tackles.

    [censored] me I played in lighting storms in under 12’s. Play on FFS

    In the extremely rare instance of a lighting strike it would hit the top of the stadium or the goal posts

    Whilst he is soft he has talent though, but the reality is he's a third forward not a main guy, if you can improve the forward line he will be more dangerous.

    I just don't think we are in a position with the list to lose both Tomlinson and TMac.

    Even if TMac is only depth next year. We need quality tall position players.

    There is plenty of other players in front of the exit queue.

    Plus he's been excellent tonight in a depleted backline

    T-Mac can hold his head up tonight and most of the season.

    Thommo is depth at best at this point and the ability to step up to AFL level and have an impact may have gone past him now.

    Fritsch and ANB for Rachele and a second rounder

    I’d do it but I seriously doubt Port would.

    Sorry but I had to call it a day. I can’t no more.

    Call it off now, give them the points and we'll be able to hear them whinge because they were robbed of a chance of a 100 point win. Lovely.

    I am so disgusted at this umpiring 

    Me too, but it has little to do with our failure to function tonight.

    I hope Crisp does his hamstring of the bone or a knee after the lightning.

    Doesn't deserve Jimmy's record the scumbag.

    Why? He has been a good player for a long time. Maybe not as good as Jimma but give him a break he has kept at it. Stop having a go at these players who have performed consistently for a long time without injuries.

    Surely the lightning would find the highest point, in which case Max would be in grave danger.

    • 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?
