I think we should debate this more

Doesn't it bother you that Goodwin and Burgess are more interested in winning an Oscar than winning games of footy?

Think of all the extra players we could have bought with the money spent on this mini-series, including keeping Sam Frost.

Besides, if the club was really serious about getting into the movie industry, why did they de-list JKH, the only player on the list with real acting experience? Just plain dumb!

    We've already got an Oscar.  Of course, some will say he doesn't help us win games of footy.

    I liked episode one more, felt a bit more real. Somehow this latest ep felt a bit more put on (could be way off the mark). The important thing, especially for those players that have since had set backs, is it looks like Burgo's got some really good fitness into them.

    Look forward to hearing more about the Bennell story.

    I thought the mise-en-scene, camera work and dialogue was top notch in episode 2, with the Shrine, Harleys interrogation and cathartic hug with the big guy, even has a bit of comedy from Gus...

    Brilliant stuff, show me any other club putting out such high grade docs!!?!? 
    roll on episode 3! Hoping for them to take it up another notch ?

    Really enjoyed episode 2.

    It's easy to enjoy of course, given the focus is obviously on how good things are during the pre-season. No coincidence that of the weeks and weeks of pep talks Burgess will have given, they've included one which refers to how we're doing better than our 2018/19 pre-season.

    Having said that, it's vitally important, obviously relevant, and incredibly satisfying to see the changes he's brought in and how they are playing out. 

    Like others, I was quietly impressed with Burgess saying "we" were bad in 2019 when he wasn't involved with the club. Also quietly surprised/impressed with Goodwin briefly mentioning we stuffed things up in 2019.

    Gawn's leadership is also obvious from these videos.

    The footage of the coaches talking to HB was what grabbed me the most. Really felt like fly on the wall stuff. Love it.

    Really PD I would hate you to be a Judge if I was being tried.

    Seriously short of Swearing  on a stack of bibles what Harley committed to he has in every way kept his part of the bargain.

    What more could he do ???

    Hope you believed your teenagers as they traditionally answer off handedly and without a lot of conviction.

    Please it is irrelevant how he sounded as his actions are speaking louder than words, as the last 3 months and the Club giving  him the Opportunity.

    Talk about a Doubting Improper Dee!!

     

     

     

     

    I dunno. Depends on my skill set I imagine.

    • 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?
