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...

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
