It was better than that, they just stood there and watched it happen…

Thank you, SWYL. I'm so looking forward to next Saturday afternoon...

    No more comparisons Oliver vs Cripps please

    Clarry does not get the recognition he deserves and is always instrumental in any of our comebacks 

    Cripps on the other hand was unsighted today when the heat was on

    I wonder what injury the AFL love child has this week

    Hawthorn has 70,000+ members and drew 15,000 to a game against West Coast (a bigger interstate side than most).

    We've been insulted since the dawn of time for having supporters who aren't invested, don't know the players, etc. It grates me to no end that Hawthorn escapes those insults. Their membership figure is inflated, they have a smaller core of supporters than we do but the amount of people who signed up after the threepeat was off the charts.

    Just glad we didn't have to play in that graveyard fixture.

    Mothers Day. Travelling like a busted a#@e. Interstate opposition.

    Welcome to the world we inhabited for so long. Only thing missing will be the predictable Caro piece banging on about our attendances.

    I just saw the Ned McHenry crunch.

    To be honest I have no sympathy for the guy. I recall last year that at every opportunity behind play he was trying to snipe Gawn and was legit punching him when Gawn wasn't even watching or 60m away from play.

    Little thug got what he deserved.

    He's been carrying an injury all year. I would exploit whatever it is if I was the Dees.

    Has the club confirmed anything? Teague has always batted away the suggestion of him carrying an injury when I’ve heard him.

    It seems for a long time that Cripps’ poor performances have been attributed to a phantom injury that seemingly no one wants to acknowledge. The consistently elite player he was a couple of years ago is becoming a distant memory.

    At this point I think he and Carlton should be parting ways. He was a passenger out there after halftime which is toxic for those around him. Let him go west, grab the pick while he still has value and use it on a top shelf mid that will be running around with Walsh and co in five years time.

    Yeap, confirmed he has early onset arthritis in his neck from carry that tin pot, two bit, money laundering club since he was drafted.

    Massive job for May next week. 
    Also I really hope that when we play the dogs May can give that absolute [censored] Josh Bruce a bath. For too long that man and his stupid hair has Kent Kingsley-ed our arses.

    4 weeks in my books based on Nibblers precedent. Lycett is gone!

    By the way, who was it that ran the length of the field to hit Max 50 metres off the ball last time we played PtA at the G?

    Wasn't that the same dude - no 29 for PtA, Scott L.

    If not, who was that gutless coward?

    anb got 3, which was upgraded to 4 when we appealed

    that was in a 17 game season

    based on that precedent, lycett should by looking at 5 that gets upgraded to 6 when they inevitably appeal

    What needs to be taken into account was that it was Mother's Day. Being a 'family club' it seems they supported their club by taking Mum to that most family-oriented form of entertainment - the Pokies.

    • 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?
