If that [censored] stupid slide rule wasn’t a thing, Parker could’ve slid in for that. Instead, bye bye.

    Parker - two weeks

    Did Sicily let him know as well by waving him bye bye?

    Yep - Sicily is a character

    Now, he's arguing with the ump after the game

    Not sure what he was complaining to the umpire about after the game. Games over

    Except they kinda do - Ronke is another rookie selection for them who has debuted early the year after being recruited, like Papley before him, and seemingly half their backline

    Then there’s Florent and Hayward, plus academy gifts like Heeney and Mills

    Irs just extraordinary the way they come on so quick up there

    Ronke was drafted 2 years ago. Florent and Hayward were in and out of the team last year.

    Credit where credit is due. Thanks Swans and Hawks, that was a great contest to watch.

    I think the Hawks are overrated. Their performance against us was an aberration.

  • Quote

    Swans crucified by the Hawks bloke who was umpiring with an Umpire no 2 yellow t'shirt on. They still found a way.

    Sicily is the new, Media's favourite player, and these blokes know what they're talking about.

    Sicily is the most overrated player in the comp.

    Yep, have i been missing something since i retired in 1975. So if you talk to the umpire he gives you free kicks. I thought Hawks talk to the umpires because he was a relative or came from the same school/town.

    Someone needs to instruct Sicily on the concept of karma.  His spay at the umpires post game, after his less-than-classy exchange with Parker who was clearly concerned for Impey, was a bad look.

    Was he expecting the result to change?.  He's no Dermott. 

    Brereton used to hand it  out but copped it the other way in good spirit.

    Ill let you in on a little secret method of enjoying life a lot more...and keeping your heartrate lower.  Stop worrying about the Dees.

    Im sure some will see this as heresy but ...detach. 

    Ive followed our Mighty ( and not so mighty ) Demons for well over 50 years since hitting these shores. There was once a time my whole demeanor...my happiness...my outlook balanced on the fortunes of the Red and Blue.

    And the a lightbulb monent ..not all that many years ago ....they dont matter. Not in a real way. They dont pay my bills ( quite the opposite ) they don't do any work for me, they provide very little real satisfaction (over time ) .... it's just footy... theyre justca club. The one i chose and stick with. Apparently they owe us nothing...and i understand that. In return I follow them. Go to games im interested in... don't clash with something else that will give me pleasure etc ( eg am off to China with family and friends..will miss the Pies..maybe a bar in Beijing...if not...not fussed )

    The real point is....nothing I can do actually affects a change of outcome. I most certainly want us to win. Id love a flag. Not me that will do that.

    So ....Dee-invest of yourselves. Enjoy life.. unshackle yourself emotionally from it...Just....be you....in Red and Blue....or Jeans and a hoody....or fav Tweed jacket lol

    So why worry.....be happy

    Go Dees

    Nah Joe Daniher by a mile....

    Just watched the Parker incident. It is almost identical to Cotchin except in a couple of respects. Cotchin clearly went past the ball and had no intention of picking the ball up - his hands never reached out for the ball and he was intent on bumping Shiel.. Parker was clearly going for the ball (his hands were reaching for the ball)  and he turned his head away from Impey and his hips towards him.

    I would have given Cotchin a penalty and not Parker.

    • 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?
