Shame they're not big enough, otherwise the trampoline company "Bounce' would be quite fitting.

    Anything for the almighty dollar, and anyway they will need it to help fund Sheedy's crazy ideas.

    More goals, means more centre bounces, means more exposure for Coles.

    Enter another corporate scumbag putting pressure on the AFL to increase goal scoring through rule changes.

    This on ground advertising is a worrying trend. LED billboards around the ground are one thing but you can see where they are going.

    Next will be the goal square and then ....................

    And then computer generated ads and crowds over the fans in the stands during boundary kicks and throw ins.

    The only thing stopping open slather is that different bodies control different aspects. AFL= the playing surface, MCC= the around ground adverts and the broadcaster = whatever deal they can do.

    No it will be wrapped in plastic film.

    "Rule changes for 2020. A. Players will not be permitted to stand in, run through, or enter the centre circle in any way shape or form. Infringements to be penalised by a free kick to the opponents in the opponent's goal square. B. After a goal there will be no bounce.  Instead, players will form a semi circle around the circle, sing a chorus of "Down Down" and the ball will be handed to the nearest player who can say the Coles slogan the fastest.

    Commentators at center bounce "Umpire throws it down down down down."

    I tried to watch the Superbowl but the sheer quantity of nauseating ads/commercials made me want to smash something.

    I have similar feelings when the AFL trash our culture and traditions.

    So do Ruck infringements now get penalised under the Coleslaw?  

    I'll pay that.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
