Dusty won the game for Richmond and Oscar kept Carlton in the game.

    [censored] you Richmond.

    Why do they do the little things so well? Doesn’t even take talent. But they do them better than anyone.

    Dusty is an absolute freak though.

    Is there anything worse than a player that kicks a goal rubbing the hair of the defender. Complete lack of respect and class. 

    you have to respect your opponent

    Yes but take Dusty out of that contest and they probably lose. But that is why teams win multiple flags there is always a  great player driving the success. Barassi, Matthews, Hodge, Hird, Dusty.

    Sam is not soft. Never squibs a contest and plays the ball hard. And doesn’t crap his pants when he has a shot on goal

    Weideman is soft as [censored]. Often gets monstered by the opposition key back

    Well, one things is for sure.

    BT & JB along with Jobe and Hodgey were appalling.

    Fair point. If there’s less stoppages as a result of the new rules and game styles, then our strength (stoppages and contests) is taken away and our weakness (clean kicking and maintaining possession) is magnified.

    They got closer to the Tigers than we did last year.

    Yes i was thinking about that

    Goodwin has coached a different game style. 
    we need players who spread and shepherd each other!!

    Carlton played into the tigers hands and nearly won.

    Good on them but playing that way against Richmond you will lose four out of six.

    Not sure what style is required but the slow maul is pobably better.

    I noticed the importance of fast hands tonight, teams who handball the quickest will do well (bulldogs come to mind)

    Thought Carlton did the overlap handball  really well. Wonder if that is coming back into vogue.

    Harry McKay really needs to convert better. He has all the tools!

    Noted that tonight, they played a different style, fast direct footy which was great to see, made them look like a far better side than us

    Might be tougher but had zero composure and can’t convert. 

    imagine if the Weed played the 3 quarters McKay played. He’d be crucified on here 

    Haha McKay can't convert,  but yet Weideman missed a simple goal 25m dead in front against Adelaide to win us the game..

    You say it's poor list management we delisted McDonald and now you're saying Weideman is better then McKay?? You really are a Doozy..

    McKay is everything I wish Weideman was at. Weideman has done nothing since that Geelong game. That's nearly 3 years ago now..

    • 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.
