Harmes injury being blown out of proportion I think. He broke his hand last year and played the same week. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if he still played round 1

    Anyone ever fumbled more than ANB?

    I just get the impression ANB is a bit of a panicker.

    Hunt has been disappointing in the second half. Should have kept him forward. 

    Agreed, he'd offer us something we seriously lack in the forward line and that's speed. He' 187cm and got 15 on Spargo, but could he be the quick and agile crumber we are crying out for? Worth a try i'd have thought.


    4 sausage rolls to Smith..

    Joel Smith on one leg is better than Joel Smith on two legs? ?

    I sense he's over-trying...  trying to force himself to the next level.  This will make himself fumble,  trying to be too slick.    Let it happen lad,  don't force it.

    Has anyone ever deserved a punch more than Mitch Robinson?

    Would like to see the contested making stats inside 50. It feels like they have slaughtered us in that regard.

     

    Umpires need another month to get some competence.

    Perhaps we had to shift him into other rolls when both JKH and Harmes went down injured?  Or maybe Goody is just trying a few different things while there are no points up for grabs?  Either way, I think he showed enough down forward to suggest he can be handy down there if need be.

    Joel Smith has been excellent today as well.  Surely it puts him in contention for Round 1?

    Softest free ever. Shithouse.

    Smith is a lock for rd 1. 

    Milkshake, Viney and Jones all due to come in.

    That pass was barely 10 let alone 15, lol.

    But how about a bit of awareness Max and Christian.

    Look last year thought he was a solid contributor but have seen instances of it over the past couple of years.

    • 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.
