Surprised. He was cheering for Essendon today. 

Picking Oliver over Parish has to be one of the best recruiting decisions we have ever made. Parish looked like a lost boy.

 

Don't all commentators want the brave Essendon to win?

 

My brother did a fence for Hudson, said he was an arrogant piece of [censored].

What did you expect from two teams coming off short breaks and games in the wet.

We kicked 17 goals, I'll take it.

Didn't I tell you....:rolleyes:

Important 4 points. There will be 3 finals spots up for grabs this year. Port are certainties to grab one, leaving Richmond, St.Kilda, maybe a wildcard and us to fight for the other two. Clearly Essendon won't be one.

Oliver, 3x the disposals of Parish. And I thought he had a quietish game. Freak.

Tom McDonald and Tyson will cost us a final one day with their poor kicking. Petracca will win us more than one.

About time Daniher spudded it up against us. He would have kicked 7.0 any other time.

Clarry Choo Choo 33 possesions if that is a little quiet then his A grade game will feature in the high 40 s possesions. Darcy Who?? Very soft indeed!

It is the CLUB that is systematic as drug cheats.  Individuals have paid their Dues.  They will be forever tarnished.

Tagging job on Heppell, right? Kept him quiet.

Still did a lot of silly things. Very ordinary from where I sat.

Still , heaps better than Harris.

Tbh, both had lots of mates during game :unsure:

I have defended Dom Tyson in the past, but his kicking tiday made Tom McDonald's kicking look like the second coming of Peter Daicos.

 

Way over the top. TMac was best on ground, but his kicking was plain embarrassing, which dragged down his game. Tyson made a coupe of errors but I thought had a good game. I wish he'd clean up his kicks, but he wasn't horrible today

Can't decide who i like more at the moment Oliver or Hunt   

We have BOTH :P

Loved:

Daniher's goal kicking.

Viney's third quarter

Oliver- my god , what a beast.  His ability to get the ball and get it to advantage is unbelievable.

Trac, Watts, Garlett.  Forward line.

 In the last, every time we took a bummer to ground, they hurt getting up.  That is awesome.

winning.

Hated:

second quarter.  It was horrendous.

the simple errors that cost us goals.

that we will go in next week as favourites.

turnover tommy and turnover Tyson.  Kicking pie floaters.

Not a chance. You can't be best on ground when you're giving the opposition silver service with every second kick.

Pedersen, Watts, Lewis and Hibberd were better than him and even a few Essendon players were better.

Garlett really picked himself up after a poor first half. His persistent chasing and tackle which resulted in him getting a free and kicking a goal was the turning point.

Given some of the decisions by the umps today it would not surprise me if they gave Daniher the 3 votes. After all he did kick that wonderful goal at the second attempt. 

Fmd...that was comedy at its best. Even he knew it. Checkside from there !!!  Of course, he should never have had second kick. First was entirely legit....if rubbish.

Hated: Most of the game. Melksham. JKH. ANB. No Kent. 

 

Loved: Pedo, love a good Pedo. Petracca. Oli<3r. Watts (gun). Beating those [censored]. 

Agree with all of this. Goodwin is going to have his mettle tested because Melksham is his mate and his doing but doesn't do enough. His other mate Hibberd is an absolute star though.

JKH over Kent, unless you want someone who is small, slow, fumbly and invisible for large chunks than this error needs to amended next week.

ANB was terrible but has had a pretty good season so he can stay.

Not sure what game some were watching, two teams with multiple changes and a half looking like that, Goodwin (who can't coach from last week) tweaked a few things at half time and we stormed home

ANB and JKH worked their arses off again

Just wanted to highlight this. He is not AFL standard because of his hands. Needs to be dropped, don't care who comes in

Not sure what you were watching Saty. What is ...is.

Two teams fronted. Both rubbish. One less so than the other.

Irrespective of what ANB , JKH TRIED  to do ...it wasn't pretty, nor warrants writing home about. Both sub par.

Your personal relationship with JKH is clouding your judgement. 


I agree with that he credit being given to our better players today. But the forward line credits usually seem to miss Hannan.

Although he was a bit patchy, I thought he had a really good game overall, for his level of experience. A couple of strong marks and goals in the second half really helped settle is and consolidate our lead. He shows a strong competitive spirit and attacks a contest with everything you want to see in a young player.

Why not replace Melksham with Trengove? 

Melksham is a speedy rebounding defender and Trengove is a slow inside ball winner. That's why.

  • 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.
