Just heard the best description of a blatant free kick which was not given against Roughead. A commentator called it "the good bloke rule." Enough said.

There there...it's ok Roughy we'll overlook that one!  What's that you say?  Yes of course all four of us!

    Just hope we continue in the last quarter and don’t fade out. 

    Harmes and Salem really stepping it up! Lockhart and Stretch decent as well. Keep fighting boys!

    Why are Hawthorn allowed to shepherd the man on the mark, but no other team is allowed?

    Has been a tactic they have used for at least three seasons.  Takes away one player from downfield but is an interesting tactic

    Melk is horribly off his best

     

    Hooray...you have to physically be dragged down to get a free lol

    14 frees to 9 in Hawthorn favour

    And even Eddie is calling out the ones they are missing

    F... I hate those cheating maggots

    Unfortunately I couldn't go to the game today and I have no vision of it.  I am listening to 3AW. They are saying Melbourne are not getting rewarded in the free kick department. Like usual. 

    OH FFS - 50 metres penalty in front of goal again. Free Kick Hawthorn alive and well!!


    Harmes was 1 metre away when the mark was taken. What could he do?

    Going to need to take our chances a bit better, but fingers crossed they can keep up the pressure, at least.


    We were no where near the protected area then... [censored] rort

     

    Omac cant even get off the ground.  Not even VFL level.  Harmes 2nd incursion.  What a horrible play on from Clarry

    • 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.

      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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
