Waterman has been good 3 weeks in a row. Just like other years they seem to reward accumulation of games over the actual game of that particular round. With Round 1 being the odd exception each year

And Sparko didn’t out a foot wrong the previous weeks either ?

And Jetta more like his own self.

 

The whole backline is more like own self.

Hibberd abd Lever are finding the AA form again and O.Mac has been fantastic all year.

They should have fined Daniher $2000 for being a hairy [censored] rimjob face with no talent.  Sorry, AA forward and mark of the year recipient.  Sheesh, why do they suck up so hard to these scummy scabbed over day old cream pies?

Gees, i was going to give him $2000.00 for that tap to the goal square...???

 

Didn't want to start a new thread and this seemed a logical spot. I'm not sure how long it has been there but on AFL.com stats pro has video of all involvement in each  game for every player for Telstra mobile customers with the live pass. Brilliant

What a difference (less than) a week makes. After the Richmond game Demonland was sinking under the weight of comments that we don't have enough depth even to make a proper squad of 22.

Not me LDvC.

i have been banging on about this since Neeld.

If you look at my collective quotes over the year you would see a pattern of recognising the strengths of the collective diversity. I also acknowledge the difficulty in achieving consistent maximum result. I also state constantly that that is the coaches job and performance indicator.

Wasn't that a thing to behold, after halftime.

 

Spargo, sparked us up. fantastic. 

TMC's bollocking thru the mid part of the ground, and forward was just what the doctor ordered.

The balance really changed the teams dynamic,  and the opposition defenders really had to focus on these two... cutting back their offence side.

 

 It was pleasing to witness.

TMac perhaps performing the role Pedersen could have done had he been selected in previous weeks.

I have been saying I agree that Weiss is the future and needs to be exposed to the main game but I also think Pedersen is the older harder more developed version of him and should not languish in the two's

Richmond, Adelaide, Hawthorn, Sydney and probably West Coast.

And now Sydney have done a Hawthorn and lost to North.

It's a crazy year.

I think that what sets North apart is that while they have gone for youth, the culture of the club has got them to where they are this year.

Last year they could have put the cue in the rack against the Lions, won the spoon and gotten the number one draft pick. However, talk coming out of the club was the overwhelming desire to avoid that.

At our absolute nadir, we were holding draft night parties to celebrate getting picks one and two.

That illustrates why they got back to being competitive in 3 years and it took us 8.

Bit harsh on us and a bit kind on them. They had quite a few injuries/outs, and the brothers put a lot of time into brown nosing umpires/ not speaking ill of/engaging with, as well as being media sycophants. Brown is the darling and sickening to see the constant dives...

Sydney to me are not the yardstick any more and i think Roos' opinion might be wavering...

  • 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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
