I know he can be frustrating but we would be lost without Fristch

He is brilliant. So creative

 
 

We didn't panic when may went off. Tomlinson just went to Hawkins. Hopefully he doesn't get off the leash. 

But we are going well. Live tracks game & Oliver just needs to take the first option

Hopefully it’s not a broken eye socket 

Yes they made a quick diagnosis so it’s not concussion or something they can stitch up. 


One of the most disgraceful umpiring performances ive seen in that 5 minute period in the 2nd.  We should have been running it up the field for a shot at goal instead he calls holding the man when it should've clearly been holding the ball. 

Two holding the balls that were 50/50 against us in our forward line against Frittata & Sparrow yet the Cats don't get called for similar and then get a reverse call instead.  Faaark off Umps!

Crush them in the 2nd half and for good measure someone please knock out cheat Selwood and fat Hawkins

Someone needs to get Flabber to learn to control his joints. His elbows seem to have a mind of their own. 

where does selwood get off complaining,hate hate him

 

Was getting vibes of the game at Etihad a few years ago where we were all over em and couldnt kick a goal and they couldnt miss. Hopefully we show some mongrel and put the foot down

Selwood whinging to the umps coming off.

He was just saying the brown paper bag wasnt guaranteed this week if they dont lift their game.

My fingers are like icicles, so not going to try and navigate my way back through thread. 

Can someone with benefit of replays tell me what happened to May? His contest with Hawkins was right in front of me, but it looked pretty innocuous until he didn't get up

I’ve only seen drips and drabs but despite inaccurate in front of goal best footy we have played all year?

I'd say yes. It's blowing a gale and slippery and we're burying them. I think the inaccuracy in front of goal is forgivable under the conditions too.

We are [censored] if May has broken his eye socket.  Majak Daw might get a gig.

He broke something....that is for sure.

Mossie getting involved alot in the 2nd half of that quarter has set the pidgeon amongst the Cats!!  Great stuff son...keep it coming

That last tackle on Isaac Smith in our goal square, a case in point. No prior but he was also making no attempt to release the ball and we know why. That is often a free.

He got an elbow to the face from Hawkins at full force as Hawkins tried to get the ball away. Think it was just an accident, but given the injury you could argue it was reckless. He looked a mess.

Geelong's game plan is quite obvious. Cheat at all opportunities. The most penalised team in the comp, and the umps have paid so many free kicks against them they've almost given up.

They're bringing the game into disrepute.

I said this during the week, they clearly train to take advantage of umpiring and rules that can be manipulated

Petty can slot in

Loving our coaches thinking ahead. Hunt has been going to Smith when Smith rolls forward and has kept him quiet. Hunt has been exceptional, not necessarily stat wise but watching behind the play his work rate is unbelievable. 

We should be further in front, the lowering of the eyes and seeking the best option is impressive so far. Just bury them in the third.

Jordan needs to get into it

I know hes young but 1 possie is not good.

Nate jones great goal but only 2 touches...come on.

If they can lift it will make a big difference.

Edited by leave it to deever

the little aussie kossie just needs a tad of luck

May is the player we cant afford to lose well maybe apart from maxy. but he has had a stellar start & it's just so unfortunate

Slow mo looks like his forearm smacked his face in the tackle as he was trying to get rid of the ball. Maybe accidental, but gees Hawkins has form. 
May looked horrible going off. Hopefully it’s not a break.

Thanks for that. Fingers crossed May is ok. Hawkins has form with 'accidental' elbows, so I'd definitely be on reckless side of fence

    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.
