    Good observation @McQueen, Kobe looks to have built-up considerably in a short space of time.

    That's the first recent photo i've seen of him. Jeez he looks like his dad. 

    McQ, do you know if if Freo have any interest in Kobe and if not why not?

    Alos am i right to assume Kobe and his Dad still live in Perth? If so its pretty big commitment to be over in Melbourne for a whole preseason.

    Just viewed the training photos. What stood out to me was how much Trent Rivers has filled out since last year. 

    Of all our recruits selected in the past two drafts, I believe he will end up proving to be our most important selection of them all.

    brown kicked 6 in a quarter of an intra club game. Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere and it seems to have been over the weekend 

    Shows we have poor coaching and a VFL quality backline at best,  which will get toweled up by Dixon, Lynch, Hawkins etc.

    6-8 wins in 2021 is all we can hope for, with everyone below us except North and Adelaide going straight past us.

    Just thought I'd get in before the usual glass half full posters.

    Kobe is currently living with his dad in Melbourne

    Unsure on the Freo side of things.

    So no-one could be bothered driving for an hour to watch training from behind a fence and then writing a long report about it?

    This forum is hopeless!

    Definite lack of commitment!!!

    However, in everyone’s defence, I have to say that Casey is the absolute rsole of the earth!! 
    How the “ Melbourne “ football club ended up out there still astonishes me! 
    FMD !! Might as well train in

    If May, Lever and Tomlinson were all playing in defence against Brown, then I'd agree it's panic stations.

    However I'm assuming Brown was probably matched up against the "possibles side" that consisted of a Casey defender, the boot studder and some bloke they plucked off the street for training.

    A nice little video of some training on the club website.  I hope the players watch this, every time we did the flick handpass over the shoulder it was a turnover.  Can't believe the coaching staff haven't banned this handball.  It is like a 3 point shot in basketball, great when it comes off but really you are only going to hit 10-20%

    Maybe everyone who didn't go had the same excuse as you. Which is?

    • 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.
