During the h and a season so many commentators pitted us v cats as the best fwd line in gfc v us the best backline.

Pffff.

In general, it's sad to listen to the commentators (although some - and this is a minority - have a few clues). There seems to be a central tendency amongst the majority of their number to waffle, to forget what they said seconds, minutes, hours and days ago, to present an authoritarian statement or two for cudos, entertainment and self-preservation. In all, a thoughtless process of a redundant calling to appease the masses and ignore the minnows in footballing terms. Geez, I miss Drew Morphett and Tim Lane.

    How important is Ben Brown to our structure. He was immense last night and good to see his goal kicking accuracy improve with the more games he has played with us. 
     

    Bet he is happy he made the move from a wooden spooner team to a gf bound one.

    Mate he’s a fantastic footballer, reads it well attacks it clean hands and has his decision made as before he’s about to dispose of it. Pure class

    He actually appears to be a Salem clone. Solid in the contest, good footy IQ (ie reads the play well and makes good decisions) and is a beautiful user. Some of those passes through the eye of the needle last night were insane.

    I think what Bowey has on Salem is leg speed.

    Our development and coaching (along with recruitment) has been A grade in 2021.

    Tom Sparrow also very good the times he was involved.

    I thought you’d been sent to the Demonland Gulag.

    All the rapscallions from days of yore are coming out of the woodwork. All we need now is @Moonshadowto return and all will be copacetic!

    Yes Col,

    I had to "go away" for a while.

    My eyes are still adjusting to natural light.

    Good to be back in the asylum.

    Going through these threads I could just cry. I can't believe this is real.

    Reports on 774  just now that Nathan Jones is expected to be catching a flight home to be with his pregnant wife. Sad if true as I'd love him to be there, but wish him and his family all the very best. Whether true or not, regardless, thanks Jonesey, sincerely, you've been a light in the darkness and we wouldn't be here without you. ❤️💙

    It was really good not having BT or Brayshaw on the TV commentary last night. I forget the bloke's name that did it last night, but gee I hope he gets the gig for the Granny.

    Jason Bennett. He's a former FOX Footy commentator. He did the VFL on 7 for a while, but I reckon they've realised he's their star. A much better commentator than the majority of them, and when the lead is no nonsense football, it sets the tone for the rest of the commentary team.

    I am hopeful Steven May will be ok with a bit of rest. The "bye" before the AFL Grand Final may actually be a blessing in disguise?

    Have watched the highlights of the game a few times now.

    Max Gawn was unbelievably freakish in the things he did as a ruckman.

    It is definitely a surreal feeling watching a Melbourne team playing so well.

    Anyway, the job's not done yet...

    Was there a footy game on last night. I got a telegram this morning telling me the Dees and Cats were playing in lock out state that cannot be right surely. Can anyone enlighten me please?

    Technically it was only a 39 point win once you subtract the 44 point lead Geelong had in round 23.

    That makes no sense, it's technically a 131  point win, add the 44 points points we came back from + the 4 points we won by then the 83 point win by last night.

    But we would kill for forward line like Geelong according to kingy, they have 3 forwards that kick goals, we have 6

    Joke or not it's still wrong, and not funny because it makes no sense.

    • 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.
