Just checked back on the replay: according to McDonald it was Petracca. Makes sense really as Salem is a wee bit more reserved while Petracca has a reputation for being a bit of a card!

Salem reserved, definitely not, he is just not a bloody nuisance to all the other players like Trac is, ANB is the other pest

    I reckon our 22 is almost a lock (in red above), with only 2 of the 21 listed above "debatable in Spargo and OMac, both of which would suit us well out West. So the competition is really for 1-3 spots in our Round 1 22.

    Good spot to be in. 

    Spargo had a really good game,

    Agree. And I reckon ANB is also a lock for 22. Forward defensive pressure will feature large in 2020 I believe.

    And all the more impressive for having missed most of the pre-season, at least the match play part of it.

    Thanks DD. I am getting old but thought he mentioned Trac. In any case it does not matter who he refered to it was just good listening to Tom in commentary and I stand by that all the players seem to be really in a good space.

    Just watched the fourth quarter.

    TMac is so articulate.

    It was sad watching Daw. He was so bad.

    Pittard has one of the worst haircuts I've ever seen.

    Found it interesting that T Mac said they most wanted the ball in the hands of Fritta or Spargo when going inside 50.

    Spargo could be a dark horse to recement his spot in the 22 this year.

    His comments bout his brother were also interesting i thought, which in summary were:

    • Has bulked up, putting on 4-5 kgs of muscle
    • Much stronger through the hips and core
    • Has had a great preseason
    • His (important) role is playing the deep last line
    • If you are watching on TV or if live not watching him closely, easy to miss his positioning not grasp his role
    • Would like to see him be more offensively minded

    Mate, if Oscar ever becomes an elite defender, your bragging rights will be off the charts. Feels like you’ve been his sole defender on here at times.

    • 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.
