Poor kicking skills is our biggest issue IMO.

 

Has been for a while. That includes field kicking and handball as well.

Tell you what, North should be well ahead. They have 1 VFL too up player and we have 8. To be honest i have never rated them.

Bland and boring football club who will be bottom 4 this year.

Good move IMO.  Both have had a good hit out, now to rest them before next week's Marsh Series game.

    Type of match where the positives will far outweigh any negative. Pickett is electric, he is quick, he is fierce. He really does have a cyril type of presence.

    Mitch Brown might be the cheapest best pick up in a while.

    If he learns how to kick straight

    Yes,  he could have kicked 6 or 7 in his first 6 qtrs for us. Traditionally i think he has been ok.. 

     

    Bradtke looks a long way off. Getting rag dolled.

    A very long way off Nel.

    Loving Trent Rivers.  Very happy to take them on and can then hit a target 40-50 metres away.

    Jordon has a real crack doesnt he? (Channeling my inner Broocy)

    Rivers has a HUGE leg on him. Looks a real player imo. Super excited by him, which will only get worse as i get more drunk.


    Rivers could play more games than expected. Lovely kick. We have needed another good ball user so badly.

    Rivers taking off and nailing target up the middle of the ground was great. When we drafted him I said he'd get most game this year of our current draft crop and eventually replace Hibberd across halfback. He's looking likely!

    Rubbish set shot from Bedford. Needs to do better if he ever wants to crack a game at AFL level.

    Sparrow looking good today as well. Love his hardness.

    Lockhart developing well as a back pocket. Could be the Jetta replacement in a few years time.

    • 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.
