It’s just a shame he didn’t try to pull that with Jack Viney underneath a pack. I wonder how quickly he’d transform into ‘Beast Mode’ with an enraged Jack,

I would have thought he'd get sighted at least.

He was largely unsighted last night.  You can cite me on that.  :D

Birchall should be cited for his knee in the back of Oliver as well.

Matheison is a given. No intent for the ball. Only to maim Gawn

The Grub of The Year Award the last 6 years has been Toby Greene and this bloke second, daylight the rest of the field. 

Yes but Toby Greene can play football. And play very well, at that.

Both unnecessary and designed to injure.

Know Mathieson is a scumbag, surprised by Birchall.

But can he hold onto a cup of coffee?! 
 

Greene really is a star isn’t he, just a natural footy player.

Back in the day running into someone like that (shoulder charge, off ground, marking contest, no eyes on the ball, no arms up to spoil) would have been called "charging" and he would have got 4 weeks.

He should be sent to the MRO for that assault on Gawn. No intent on the ball at all. 
I thought Max was gone…

 

He also coat hangered Kossie from behind. Was again just an act intended to hurt and or maim. It was late after Kossie got rid of the ball. It was definitely reportable and really "old school" stuff that Dermie loves but most people including the AFL want out of the game. Dermie laughing going "oh yeah, just made him earn it, nothing wrong with that" Well yes there is Derm, they are cheap and cowardly shots and when delivered by a guy that has no other skill then get him out of there.

His only two acts that had any consequence out there were his hit on Kossie and then Gawn. These guys are champions of the game and need protecting. Same with guys going past the ball flight in order to put their knee into the back of players. Could end a career. Happens to Oliver all the time. It puts the lions in a bad light and he should be hounded out of the game.

Indeed. Not sighted nor cited by the MRO because the media ignored it. 
And how was that to 50 to Max and down the ground from Kozzie. 
Both were the acts of a frustrated untalented low life.

Birchall was in a genuine marking contest, nothing wrong with that. Was a hospital kick from Gus I think. The only positive was Birchall couldn't get his hands on the ball and gave away the free kick

As soon as he hit Max, I got a text instantaneously from a Geelong supporting mate denouncing it as a low act.

He is a bloke I am just mystified is still on a list. He’s good for a grand total of three things: ducking, sniping and giving himself undeserved monikers which in turn feed a vacuous media looking for their next gimmick to attract attention deficient viewers (see all the fuss over ‘The Weapon’ at Essendon in 2012).

He sh!tted me when I first saw him in 2016, and my opinion of him hasn’t improved since.

His opinion of himself exceeds his capability. He’s mouthy and dirty. I’d be embarrassed if he was on our team. Gross.

He would never get a game in our team. That he keeps getting a game at Brisbane shows their poor depth. Culturally he’s a cancer. I mean he’s also a crap player which doesn’t help.

Absolutely. Greene is a grub and a thug and I hate him but he’s a sensational player. Top 5 in the AFL when he’s on song.

They mentioned it in Fox, but only to give a few tips on how to better "hide" this type of indiscretion, with a bit of a laugh to go with it....pathetic!!!😡😡

Textbook definition of a [censored] bloke.

Just a disgrace of a human on the field, and with his comments about Sandy Hook, off field too.

The sooner he is consigned to the scrap heap of the AFL universe, the better.


It wasn't just the front on contact to Gawn. He also collected Kozzy high and late (can be seen in the game highlights at ~8:40). IMO that has more weight with the MRO. Likewise, the deliberate knee to the kidney of Oliver as he was going for the mark (Oliver was paid a free kick).

The game highlights only go for 7.56...


Hopefully Libba coat hangers him into next year as he attempts one of his academy round the neck stages this week

If Mathieson isn't the worst footballer in the league I don't know who is.

One fruitcake in that team is more than enough, carries on like he was just let out.

  • 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?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
