Hawkins has a history of “carelessly concussing and otherwise injuring opponents faces and heads. 
Of course “accidental” and the head isn’t really all that sacrosanct all the time. 

any news on Mays' injury??

 
 

Is this the same old Melbourne or have we improved. Cats are severely undermanned. It ours to win no excuses really.

    If we throw away this game we are the same old Melbourne and all supporters might as well switch off for the rest of the season and all future seasons

    Gone to hospital. Whole check/eye looks fractured. Not good.


    How does geelong with less possessions have 30 precent more frees than the other side?

    6 frees more in that qrt made a huge difference.

    Always happens against this yeam. Is it the crowd?

    Goody needs to point out it’s raining and over handballing when not required is silly. We can and should win this. But as always we make it as hard as possible. Cmon dees!!!


    Come on let's change the narrative a bit. It's going to be a workhorse effort

    surely the review committee will look at this

    Fritsch has made 3 mistakes that all cost us goals. Get those right and we’d be at least 3 in front.

    It’s hard to know how difficult it is to mark the ball, but we just dropped 3-4 marks that would have put us in a much better 

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    But we lost our defence structure late in that quarter. For the last smith goal, when we lost the ball we had 3 mids all forward of the contest cheating.   Hopefully Goody resets them at 3 qtr time.

    Some awful decision making / execution that quarter.  The kick from outside 50 on the boundary from Chunk.  Tmac's decision to play on.  Jordan's decision to handball instead of taking the tackle at HF.

    Sprargo's inability to finish at goal earlier.  The kick from Ed on the flank was woeful

    Loved the holding the ball against Oliver in that quarter. It followed about 6 tackles on Geelong players in the same passage of play which were all called a ball up.

    • 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.

      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?
