That Hawks team already belongs to a different era with far less pressure being applied to the contestĀ - more space for the kicker and less need to take riskier options to clear the congestion.

All teams since the 90s have also looked to attack off half-back, and supporters of all teams since forever think that their team's skills are the worst. We rank ninth for turnovers (or seventh for the least turnovers) while Richmond rank as the fifth worst and CarltonĀ theĀ third best.

Meanwhile, we're one of the best teams for creating opposition turnovers, and are the highest scoring team in the league, due in part to prioritising players with contested skills over foot-skills.Ā 

Are Carlton third best because they never have the ball?

What is their turnover to possession ratio?

    No wonder we can't follow instructions with that hand-writing.Ā 

    It looks like a GP wrote it.

    Talls sparleus/sparticus . or is it another language for "talls: anyone got any ideas we can use?"

    Wizard att(ack): has anyone told Goodwin we don't have Farmer anymore?

    Or is it Wizard ANB? If so I think they're overestimated ANBs wizard-ness.

    Mrs Frankie - a GP, would take offense - she has much better handwriting than I do!Ā 
    That would be an interesting list - best -> worst handwriting.

    Mrs Franke, the GP would be at one end, and I would be at the other... not a GP!

    • 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

      Itā€™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 Ā 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 measlyĀ 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?Ā  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.
