Garlett may have been a bit quiet, but he has laid 6 tackles this evening.  You can't fault that effort, even if we all wish he had hit the scoreboard a little more.

    Nice leading chest mark to Hogan. With how many entries we get, we should see that from him 10 times a game.

     

    Hogan has been reading the forum!

    he led, they kicked it too him, he marked... simples

    edit: kicked the goal too, the perfect finish to a perfect passage of play

    If Oliver isn’t a pure star, I don’t know who is. Seriously he is insane.

    FFS, we're over 50 points up in Darwin. You'd think we're down by 80 with some of the negative Nancy stuff

    I was just about to write - I've done a hell of a lot of whinging for what's going to turn out to be a 10-12 goal win!

    No, but you can fault his lack of impact.

    Looked superb, but it's hard to do when there are generally 8 other players standing in front of him most of the time.  If you give him the space he'll lead up and mark it 9 times out of 10.


    Note to self eff ark is sweary

    child 1 is going to be wearing a Fritschkrieg jersey. Lotta love

    Probably because we should be up by 80

    For his first game back for a while, I'll take 13 touches, 6 tackles and a goal.  He can build on that in the coming weeks and I've liked his pressure in the forward half of the ground.

    22 inside 50s for Freo could well be the impact we wanted from Jeffy and his tackles.

    Jeez reading this thread... Who knew we'd win by ten goals.

    With respect, mate, that is a very, very long bow.

    Self protection mechanism - complain until siren sounds with a win. Based on work cover advice

    8:8 since half time v 5:15 in the first half

    I think it's just a bit of pragmatism based on the significantly under-strength and youthful opposition.

    We're not going to get away with this amount of wasted forwards opportunities against a half decent team.  

    Around the ground we've been fantastic though.

    • 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.
