Not impossible. Carltank had the chance to do it in 2013!

Good call ?

    Rona just continues to give to Victoria - & interstaters will continue to benefit with home ground advantage.

    That said we're all done with Tioges era - a new one dawns.....

    How was Ryan’s kick to Kennedy judged over 15 m?  - should have been play-on for mine.

    It clearly wasn't. I wouldn't want to buy real estate from those umpires!!

    It went about half as far as the kick marked by Cameron at the end of the Swans - Geelong game which was not paid

    Game No. 5 of this season  decided by bad umpiring in the final minute. It was 8 ms if it was anything.

    You just can't be close near the end of the game to take umpiring out of the equation. double free kicks- again - to eagles. 

    But I thought the tiges looked off esp in forward entries and now don't fear then in September. Dusty trying too hard reminded me of the Dees pre-2021.

    Reiwoldt unsighted when needed. 

    Nic Nat's feeding of his midfield in center  was sublime and Tiges just seemed unable to cope

    Actually there were 3 game results turned by atrocious umpiring decisions this round for a total of 6 so far for the season.
    Adelaide/Saints - Dubious free kick to Thilthorpe  at the death.

    North /GWS - Umpire  failed to pay blatant incorrect disposal by North in front of GWS goal in the dying minutes.
     

    It has been a pattern with Riewoldt this season. In most games starts red hot then disappears.

    I only watched the last five minutes, while I agree about the kick not being 15 metres I also thought Richmond got away with a couple of throws in that period.

    But, but, we’re told umpiring doesn’t impact the outcome.

    Interestingly nobody has focused on the mark itself.....which wasn't in fact a mark!  Whilst he gets his hand under the footy, the belly of the ball is clearly in contact with the grass.  Not that I'm unhappy with the result!

    If the umps called that play on they would be copping flak similar to the Cameron mark. You can see where it was kicked and marked below.

    Must say I thought that at first but I think he had his forearm between the ball and the ground. It was certainly close

    maybe not, but that view shows it was a lot closer to 15m than the view seemed to show on tv

    there were longer ones called play on during the game

    Have always wondered about people who spend so much of their time videoing the game.

    Went to the Soccer World cup in Russia in 2018. People would video games from start to finish.

    Sure a minute here and there but whole matches.

    Whoever would watch them?

    Agred they threw it a few times IMO.  But the Kennedy mark was 60 ish seconds to go and a game changing opportunity.

    • 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.
