    Weid not having a great day but he's being asked to ruck against a brute in Reilly O'Brien.  He is out of his depth there.

    Yes, really missing Preuss as backup.

    The head is sacrosanct. 
    Had time to know who he was hitting  and didn’t go low
    1 week

    History says he will get off, it’s a practice match. Sylvia had his jaw broken at Casey against West Coke several years ago with zip consequences.

    A lot better quarter that one Jones and McDonald on fire. Petracca BOG.

    ok then, good for you.

     

    Awful balance around the contest there. You can’t allow a free runner. If that’s not fixed we’re screwed 


    not really a cork. the point of a knee hit he's shin. looked pretty painful. he was trying to get back on but physios trying to talk him out of it

    Can’t watch and have only half followed updates. 

    Any news re: Jones and Jetta would be greatly appreciated.

    Not sure I’d call a corky injured.. would 100% come back on if it was the regular season, might get put on ice given it’s a pre season game.

    I didn’t confirm it was a cork. I am at Casey. Happened in a collision 


    Weid simply must step up. We lost Hogan and didn’t recruit a replacement

    This is it. No more excuses

    Jetta simple rolled left ankle. Jones copped a stray leg to the shin or calf.

    Hogan never played as a ruck so there’s not much to see based on today

    The y showed several slow mo replays on TV and appeared pretty clearly to be a lower leg cork. Knee straight into the outside of his lower leg 


    Nice set of foot passes

    Precisely why I was so psissed off about the penalty to May this time last year.

    • 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.
