Good observation CB

watching the replay I thought the first half of the third quarter is where the GC really got on top with their run and carry. Luckily they only scored two goals during that time and of course had Bernie not made the intercept the Suns were on the way to another.

That Vince intercept was a turning point in the game.

    This season I have found the commentators really disappointing tbh, more so than previous seasons.

    Some of them constantly get players names wrong or constantly dribble on about something that is not related to what's happening on the field or are more barracking for a team than commentating or their "special" comments aren't very "special" at all.

    Just because former players were stars doesn't necessarily mean they can commentate. 

    In saying the above my only real fav commentator is Gerard Whateley. 

    I reckon half of them are just bored with watching so much footy, they only really get excited for the big games. Remember they do radio commentary in addition to the tv as well as panel show gigs on tv/radio during the week. You can tell half of the time they're trying to find a narrative (or have a punt on) to make the game interesting.

    Yep...was like the cogs finally slipped into gear and wr got traction.

    Still very all over the shop before that.

    All those 'good structures' and 'good efforts' :rolleyes: just weren't gelling.

    Then ...... click (thankfully )

    How did the lamb taste, pretty juicy no matter how long it was in the oven...

    Oh Shite! it's probably pretty black by now.

    • 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.
