Gawn - a fading warrior

Viney - has checked out

Petracca - completions left begging

Langdon - outstanding 4 quarters

Pickett - need a clone

Oliver - just a shadow

Bowey - played heart out

Salem - a momentum killer

Rivers - master of none

Langford - tending towards slow

Fritsch - barely cameos only

Chandler - not a Bullen

McDonald - gave his all

Windsor - a failed backman

Lindsay - seemingly played restricted

May - not his best

Petty - just a plodder

Spargo - why select him?

Melksham - one memorable mark

van Rooyen - seemingly lost heart

Sparrow - has become redundant

    JVR — solo forward crucified

    I'm not saying your wrong JB.

    It's a difficult job to rate with only 3 words.

    And I do appreciate and enjoy your work.

    But according to your assessment, 17 players were below par. Some a fair way below( no pun intended).

    I'm not saying your wrong either.

    A pretty damning summation.

    MFC.....where's the pride?

    ......where's the passion?

    ...where's the enthusiasm?

    ...where is Waldo?

    At this stage anyone's a good substitute.

    What has happened to him?

    I thought last year would be a breakout year.

    It wasn't so I thought maybe this year.

    Sadly he has gone so far backwards, so quickly, it's hard to comprehend.

    And here's me thinking not long ago, he's our next DS or DN.

    Silly me.

    Agree with the Windsor sentiments. Goodwin is trying turn him into Jayden Hunt which is laughable. The way we are set up with no clear exit does him no favors.

    Hope to god we end up with Longmire before Windsor gets destroyed. A lot of similarities with Gulden in the sense he was drafted as a an agile wingman with great agility with little experience as an inside on ball player.

    Longmire turned an already elite outside player who can hit the 45 degree kicks with ease into a crucial piece of the Swans on ball brigade.

    If Windsor can become half as good, I’ll be happy.

    We have to many players out of form. Obvious.

    We have not had a strong KPF since BBB finished up.

    Petty or T Mc are not rhe answer forward although Petty be rotated Forward/Back with Turner?.

    Jeffo will take more tine

    We need to recruit a tall via draft and or trade.

    Maybe should have got Membry or Darling for a year or 2?

    • 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?
