    Great. Let's have 4 blokes tackle him, let the ball squeeze out and have 3 Richmond blokes on their own.

    What I was thinking.

    Happens even if it’s not Dusty.

    Hardly Ground Breaking thinking. It may work. 

    But how long has Martin been fending off like that with a free rein?

    years

    So what is your point?

    I actually think the best way to counter Dusty is to not tackle him at all. Defend the space ahead of him and force him to the boundary

    The only way to stop Martin is to starve him of it

    the MFC have to hunt the ball themselves.

    Don't know whether the reporter had his hand on it whilst watching or reporting this, it was one of the normal tackling drills they have been doing all pre season

    Perhaps Goody doesn't think it's been good enough on game day

    Plenty of resin on the hands, grab his fend off arm with both and snap it.

    I asked Nev about this, said best method is to grab the arm, but because his godliness is allowed to fend off high it adds to the difficulty in perfecting the technique

    By sweeping the fend arm to the side before it contacts you, it throws the balance off and you can tackle the body.  With the arm out of play, locking in the arm holding the ball and smashing the [censored] into the turf is the next objective.

    you know he is going to fend, so practicing the counter should be part of the prep.

    Take tips from New Orleans on how best to pay players who injure the opposition.

    Ground-breaking stuff.

    No problem with the fend off.. it's when it goes for the throat or the head that it becomes interesting.

    Never called as a free or worse. Technically neither is round the neck etc but it is a dangerous manouvre especially when directed at the throat.

    I have been saying that for 2 years. Grab his wrist and pull towards you.

    That was sensational.

    As much as anything physical ...the dont argue  is a bit like a 'power handshake' in so much as its about owning your opponent. If you let him...he does. Viney owned HIM.

    Anyone can if they want to and don't fall for the ruse.

    • 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?
