Women have changed, just like the game is.

 

People and power, watta lousy mix...  aggressive power is a thing of ugliness.

    "The Demons are also planning on a return to AFL football for gun midfielder Jack Viney next week".

    Not sure if the AFL fo JV is poetic license by the journo or was said by Goodwin.  Either way, looking good!

    I agree.

    I also think he's gotten ahead of himself. I get the impression he thinks/knows he's an A grader that will soon become elite, while in reality he's overall output is that of a B grader so far. For example, he's missed far too many shots for goal this year.

    I like what he's produced so far, but do think he's overrated in context to his performances, especially to start this season.

    I remember a host on either SEN or 3AW mentioned that Petracca was aiming to be a Hall of Fame player. That pricked my ears.

    Lastly, I can't believe I'm saying this but I feel Salem is a bigger loss than Petracca (assuming he doesn't get up this week) for the time being. We'll miss Salem's solid ball use while Petracca's can be a bit hit and miss.

    Just because the kid has a bit of swagger, you think he has got ahead of himself??

    The kid is a star!

    As I have, we all are, it's a time of change.  According to prophets...  each and every one of them.

    I asked JV direct, he said another week of full training without a hiccup and he is ready to be selected

    Has all the credentials of a future star, just looks like he’s cruising, hoping he doesn’t turn out to be another Sylvia. Still a kid so am patient but just noticing a few things that’s all. If Salem can ever get a decent run at it he’ll be very important for us, HBF is his position. Surprisingly goes pretty hard at it too.

    According to the presser Goody is confident both Hogan an Petracca will play.

    In -       Trac

    Out -   Salem (inj)

    ANB looks like he will get another reprieve, very lucky.  Unless we bring in Garlett for him but he doesnt deserve a call up.

    Vince might be rested with the third game in 11-12 days

    • 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.
