Is there a rule saying we have to kick it to our captain at all costs??

No just putting what I was told by interested parties, any comment on the second bit or is it fact getting in the way of hyperbole again?

    He wasn’t in my top 3 for votes Saty. If you want to only look at stats that support your argument, JKH gained 128m with those 14 disposals which barely rated as average (9m per disposal). You would hope he’d be effective moving the ball 9m forward.

    0 1% acts in 4 quarters of footy.

    My preference would be Kent over JKH, that’s all.

    He is ineffective. Has no presence, the footy is always a hot potato. Tackles weell, but doesn't like contact. Lacks composure. Shouldn't be in the side.

    Glad you cleared that up. I thought you were talking about Saty.

    I am more than effective, don't pander to the group think malaise that infects this board

    Do you ever have your own thoughts?  Or are they dictated by others?  You don't like group think, yet you go with the group think at the club all the time.  Interesting.

    And for the record, JKH shouldn't be kicking it to the captain if he's under pressure.  He should be doing the team thing and taking the best option presented to him.  Jones wasn't the best option, captain or not.

    Your own thoughts? You just post what the players or coaches supposedly tell you. That's not your own thought, that's just regurgitating info from someone else.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
