    JVR or Jefferson done much ? 

    JVR (blue) was not oustanding but competing hard IMO.  Rewarded himself with a goal from 15m while being tackled after a contest and collect.  Jeffo (white) and AJ (white) really didnt see much of it while I was there.  White held up for the first 10-15 minutes but the last i saw they were down 14 to 60 odd (? really wasnt paying the score much attention) late in the third.

    McAdam possibly ahead of Jeffo for a round 1 spot by the sounds?

    That’s a Picket Fence nightmare right there.

    Would say so. I’d probably have AJ ahead of Jeffo too, though note that neither AJ nor Jeffo swapped onto the ‘A’ side during the last quarter.

    Apparently injured?

    Yes, McAdam injured his leg and took no further part in the match.

    Rivers played on-ball all game.  He didn't play in defence.

    Bowey played defence all game, despite his goal.

    If I get time I'll add some more thoughts.

    Was he helped off or walk unaided? (sorry, too soon?)

    There's footage of him being carried off by 2 trainers on 'myheartbeatstrue' instagram page, he wasn't putting any weight through the left leg

    The real question is did he walk off himself or was he carried off by the trainers? 
     

    Joking joking, in all seriousness I hope he’s okay, poor bugger just can’t seem to get a run at it

    Roy George here we come. Seriously I hope McAdam hasn’t done anything beyond a minor sprain and will be back on track in a week or two. Fingers crossed.

    I reckon they'll go with Jai Culley if the opportunity arises, he's been very impressive from what I've seen.

    • 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?
