You’re doing well if you’re able to roll a modern car on a suburban neighbourhood street whilst doing the speed limit. As long as no one was hurt and lessons are learnt. Looking forward to seeing Jesse pull on the purple socks next season, I’d enjoy seeing him fire (except against us).

    An SUV with a high centre of gravity will roll even at low speed if control is lost and skids sideways, hits a kerb and flips over.  BTW his car is a VW and not a BMW. He most likely clipped the parked car, lost control and swerved  into the kerb. The lack of major damage to the car indicates he was likely going at the speed limit or under.

    it was reported that he did clip the parked car......after he was "reaching down for something". the something (phone?) was not described.

    and yes suvs are easier to roll than a conventional sedan (higher centre of gravity)

    when i was younger (and stupider) a common refrain was "you don't really know how to drive a car until you have rolled one over"

    Many years ago my wife rolled her car on to its side going up a straight suburban hill, at about 40km an hour.

    How you ask?

    Left front tyre burst, pulling the steering wheel to the left, and being an inexperienced driver she hit the brakes hard and whoops she do. Not hurt.

    Another time I came home from work to find her car smashed into the rear boundary fence.What the? 

    Story goes she was moving her car down the driveway, only a couple of meters to put it in the shade with our 2 yo son on her lap. He has managed to somehow slip down onto the floor between her feet and onto the gas pedal.Down the driveway she goes,hitting the side fence, bouncing off that and into the side of the house, off that, across the the back lawn and into the fence.Again no one hurt except her bank balance.

    Years ago driving up Little Lonsdale St I clipped a car that ran a red light at Swanson St and sent it skidding towards  the kerb, it flipped over onto the footpath stopping on its back against the wall of the old Queen Vic hospital. It was a Friday night when there was late Friday night shopping and there were pedestrians everywhere and it was a miracle none got hit by the out of control car. Luckily the other driver was not seriously hurt.

    I rolled one over back in the day and learnt stacking actually hurts.
    Was a far more careful driver from that moment on.

    Gotta watch those parked cars, they're deceptively still.

    Playing Possum & hiding in full view.  Very deceptive, they are.  Those stationary cars.

    I ran into one in my drive-way, as a lad.

    Wow. Sure thing. To not cause more damage in the CBD

    Or if the front wheel gets puled toward the vehicle being hit,  then the 4WD could climb the side of other car, and then tip over.

     2 handed driving Jesse, in future.

    So did Jesse, and the Ambo's, after the fact.

    There you go, that sounds like it. 

    And when leaning forward, head down, often that's enough to pull the steering to far either way.   Then bango.

    Whatever the science of rolling an SUV, trouble or misfortune seems to follow Jesse. 

    He needs to turn it around in 2020 otherwise everyone will be talking about his wasted talent.

    In spite of all the crap I wish he was still at the MFC Ernest, 50 goal a year KPF don't grow on trees. Can you imagine the Weid kicking 50 in season? I can't.

    Agreed, but with the assumption that we could get him on the park to kick those 50 odd goals.

    I've rolled a car too around 20 years ago, hit a bluestone garden bed which would have been around 350mm high, ripping the wheel off under the chassis causing the car to tip over. Would have been doing around 30-40kmh.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
