I dont know why the sound of the umpires cannot be muted

    Hawkins gave away 50 just hanging around in the protected zone. No worries mate.

    Can Selwood dispose of the ball legally any more? Last 5 minutes all I've seen are throws, scoops and tunnels.

    This is the thing Mazer.

    During any game, umpires must see indiscretions that could be given as frees.

    How do they decide when/ which to pay?

    They carry a pin.

    It's so we respect their adjudications more.

    Hawks gameplan looks good. Playing quickly and moving it with pace through the midfield. Taking the game on. Similar to how Adelaide and Magpies played against us last year.

    But… but… it’s Essendon. ESSENDON. 🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Yep, and I always thought Essendon would be my true hate. But Geelong has it all:

    • Home town umpiring (thought it may end with televised games, but no)
    • Joel Selwood
    • Forwards who dive
    • Joel Selwood
    • Money thrown at the club because it's in a marginal seat
    • Joel Selwood
    • Shonky land deals
    • Families of footballers employed by Cotton On (see Judd and Visy)
    • Joel Selwood
    • Mogg's Creek
    • Chris Scott's cool beard 
    • The 5 or so chairs provided to opposition supporters

    But it's a TELEVISION INNOVATION

    All TELEVISION INNOVATIONS are Good Things and can't be changed back.

    Another great TELEVISION INNOVATION is the count down clock which adds nothing and only kills tension in a tight match,

    Its a shame this game is becoming primarily about the umpiring, otherwise the game has been good to watch.

    Come on Hawks! Do it for Jack’s 200th. I like Jack Gunston 🙂

    After Hawkins gave away the 50m penalty for infringing the protected area, he demonstrated with his hands out. It should have been another 50.

    Absolutely.... makes it a certain goal and possible outcome changer

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
