Hang on...  Didn't the umpire say that it you block someone in a marking contest you need to contest it or give away a free?  Oscar was just blocked out and his opponent didn't even run near the ball.

    Our hands have looked good.

    Hating that we're letting Willie "Stubbie" Rioli look like a superstar.

    Sensational so far.  Looks calm back there tonight. Makes good decisions, except that kick across the face,  but can't get everything right. 

    Correct me if I am wrong but he has been reliable from the get go

    what delights me even more than his black boots and Everyman appearance is that he came from the carringbush.... delicious

    Wasn't a free kick but I'll take it. 

    Yes it was. He dove on the ball and didn't make a legitimate attempt to get it out.

    Smith, you BEAUTY! Those are the goals we've got to kick!

    Smithy!!!

    How good was that from Viney? Should have resulted in a goal though. We're in this though. Big time.


     

    Someone teach Petracca how to kick!!!!!

    Petracca’s kicking is a liability.

    • 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.
