Hodge perhaps shouldn't commentate Brisbane games.

    Was that 50 meter gift goal for talking back?

    Suddenly reintroduced it after ignoring it ever since gifting Carlton the practice match (not that the result really mattered).

    Not even talking back. Merely raised his arms.

    No. Ump said you put your arms out

    now you can’t do even that. 

    time to put on a movie

    Maggots really trying to get the Pies back. Spoil across the line = deliberate.  OMG.  

    Now a gimme goal to Blind Freddie 😎 - sorry he couldn’t see straight and missed.

    I am getting really tired of umpires ruining games. Just so inconsistent, and many just so wrong. That ruck free to Cox was appalling. Andrews getting 50 metres for putting his arms out in exasperation. Block in the ruck against Grundy and so on...

    Wtf is with those deliberates

    One each way. From Backline craft- punch the ball out from a contest. 

    They are ruining the game

    Leigh Matthews is definitely on his last legs as a commentator.

    Had to be told Mason Cox now wears glasses to protect his eyes, as if it was late breaking news to him.

    I just assumed they had crossed to him in his old folks home in Del Boca Brisvegas for a first hand account of the invention of the goals/minutes theorem…?

    Serious question.

    Why isn't Mason Cox wearing yellow night time glasses instead of dark sunnies style sports goggles... doing my head in

    The comments against Cox for the gogs are ridiculous, whatever helps someone play the game (within reason) should be allowed. I remember Jimmy trying to wear a hat and he was monstered for it (on ground and off).

    Just narrow enough margin to keep us on top as of today.

    • 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?
