    the drop of from all our senior players is marked

    gawn, viney, may, trac, oliver - all demonstrably worse than last year, when they were worse than the year before, and so on and so forth

    langdon the only player at the moment who is performing at a standard expected from a senior player

    In early 2022 yes
     

    Probably the most frustrating 3-4 minutes of footy for the year.

    Uncontested marks galore for the Bombers when the game is still up for grabs.

    Too many lazy campaigners just happy to guard space instead of taking an opponent!

    Crazy to see a team with 15 premiership players battling for the spoon and throwing up scores like it's the Neeld years. Massive fall from the most successful group in most of our lifetimes.

    Probably finish off with a goalless quarter.

    Who was Sparrow supposedly tagging? Hasn't had a touch until that one in 3 quarters.

    • 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?
