It really is a nothing story but to be honest I never got why footy players/athletes were prone to this kind of behaviour. Combined with the desire to dress in women's clothes for "player review" type functions and it seems there's a lot of repressed stuff going on there

    It's a different situation to Richmond's.

    It's still stupid.

    But that's not the issue. The issue is whether Hunt and Petracca were properly listening to Goodwin or just mucking around.

    Exhibit A: Luke Hodge saying he doesn't like the shortened game, he  just doesn't like the 90 minute game. Much prefers the old hour and a half game...

    Exactly. 

    Nothing to see here with this. 

    Yes and no. I would think [censored] farting around during 3 qtr time while the coach is delivering his message is disrespectful. Its no wonder we went to sleep that last quarter. 

    Sums up our year as well.

    I said this somewhere else but seeing as we aren’t a big club you can expect us to probably cop fines and/or suspensions for this. 
    That way the AFL can make it seem like they are reacting to this whilst not hurting a club they care about.

    Maybe Gooodwins final message was “okay boys, give each other a pinch on the bum and get back out there”!

    Well then at least the players are buying into it.... ?‍♂️

    Clearly, it's no big deal, but it gives ammunition to the professionally aggrieved.  They'll love it and use their soapbox.

    Exactly - no big deal but after the carry on in the Richmond rooms then anyone with half a brain wouldn't do it - therein lies the answer.

    Yes it goes on and on proving the point.

    I wish AFL media would steer clear of commentary designed to incite what the public should be outraged about every week

    I don’t really care about an [censored] squeeze or the finger up the date, but the worst bit is it is at 3 quarter time with our season on the line. Of course Essendon piled on a few goals straight after that very break as well.

    When did fingering your mate's balloon knot become a thing? I really have no idea why it's done and why people defend it. It's not normal in any way

    All media for that matter.
    Parasites that they are.

    At least they're generally a few rungs up the ladder from the NRL guys.

    My main issue here is the skylarking during the coaches address at 3/4 time before our most important quarter of the season. 

    Sure we had a healthy lead and looked like we were going to cruise to victory but we have this habit of going to sleep and not being switched on and then we concede multiple goals. 

    Now I’m beginning to see why. 

    This issue of not being switched on needs to be addressed in 2021. 

    Didn’t someone of note at Melb, recently say the club needed to grow up... hhhmmmm.

    Now I know why Hunt is such an accurate and composed goal kicker. He practises hard to get on target. And CP5 has also improved markedly  in finding the goals.

    Mind-boggling stupidity and lack of professionalism and respect.

    They’re at work.
    They've been explicitly told not to do it.
    They did it anyway.

    AFL doesn’t like it, sponsors don’t like it and members (as it was leading into the most important quarter of the year) don’t like it.

    Gives an insight into some players focus and mindset.  If we’ve ever wondered how we don’t turn up to play in big matches or drop the easy ones...

    • 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?
