    Watched the first 3 quarters. Very low quality affair. I don’t think port will challenge this season

    That seriously looked like a late season game where both teams were cooked.

    those two saturday night games should be crackers

    Is footy still played on Saturday night? I must check my local guide.

    If I didn't see the game does that mean it didn't exist & the bummers didn't win?

    Sounds like I didn't miss much & I'm guessing ken will be talked about again.

    Would love CH7 to poach David King. 

    At one stage Kingy called the game a shoot out...I think at the time scores were 4 goals to 2.

    A shoot out without any shots fired.

    Then there was the call berating Wines for his poor handball turnover...I didn't know Wines was a redhead (it was Logan Evans).

    Another big call was that JHF needed help in the middle...he needed help alright, help to get out of 2nd gear. Both him & Rozee just coasted, they needed a rocket.

    Port look insipid without Butters.

    What a terrible game of footy it was.

    Hope so. There’s a couple Essendon supporters at my work and this week I got reminded that at the core of all Essendon supporters footy soul, there is mostly a dark endless void, but if you squint real hard into it, deep deep down, there’s a little tiny flickering light way off into the distance, which is actually a dense, raging nucleus made of pure unadulterated arrogance.

    Hate em. Will never feel sympathy for them.

    Go Port.

    It's so cool that after being two of the 3 superpowers from the late 70s to the early noughties it's so satisfying to see Carlton will probably go past a 30-year flag drought and Essendon's probably going to wait 22 plus years just to win any final. You would have been committed if you insisted either would happen back round 2001. 😊

    Where to know for Port, they have the succession plan in place, is there any point in letting Hinkley see the year out. Hard to see them making finals, with regards to player retention are they better off making the move now.

    Any parallel’s for our club?

    Imagine being a port fan. Such great players and never even made a GF

    Most inconsistent team ever

    Those multiple prelim thrashings must haunt them 

    So many teams would infuriate their fans. This decade I'd rather be a Dees fan.

    Marvel sucks

    Essendon sucks. Even after last night they look mediocre. Oh, and the game finished at 10pm on a work night. I can understand why many didn't bother.

    Their supporters are pathetic, they drop off as soon as their team struggles

    How about Geelong?

    I listened to Maxy talk about this very thing (maybe triple MMM footy or something) and he said in Roos last year coaching us, Goody was effectively in charge and coaching the team and Roos was mostly just taking the heat from the media if things went wrong.

    He went on to say that the Carr/Hinkley set up is very likely the same deal. Carr is effectively coach whilst Hinkley advises him and takes the media spotlight for this year.

    Not sure why I am going, but I am 😁

    Before things start off tonight…

    What was going on with the surface at Marvel last night?

    Seems like nobody could pick up the ball cleanly for the first half. A bit too sweaty combined with a greasy surface?

    It was diabolical.

    How long is Curnow contracted for,?

    And back to dark mode can we also have a black and white mode that is blank during pies games.

    Will be fun to see who is left by round 19 against the giants. But, hey, you never know, the Bombers have been on the cusp of a big upswing for about 13 years...

    • 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?
