    Adelaide playing a pretty simple game. Not sure how we are struggling to replicate it.

    Any insight as to why that was 50?

    Moving on the Mark – unfortunately the umpire that paid the Mark and the 50 meter penalty had already run away and didn’t realise Phil Thorpe had gone back to the 5m.

    He should’ve left it to the guy who was umpiring that area.

    Well, knock me down with a feather. ANB has improved his skills, and here is an idea: all our players do a pre-season with another club before the season starts.

    Really should have offered Tex a 3 year contract when he became available. Would have made such a difference to our fwd line.

    We will be shunted to the South Australian countryside next year. People should book now in the Barossa Valley.

    Not sure why we’re not in the Barossa this year.

    Have to make a special visit now.

    Quick, hot game of footy, but it can't be this for 4 quarters. It will be interesting when/if it settles into a contested game.

    Yep. Reminds me of Nathan Buckley toward the latter years. I actually loved watching him played forward. So natural

    We have the potential to be first AFL club to play at the old Woomera range 😂

    • 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?
