    And a  free kick

    What isn’t these days? There are even free kicks counter intuitive to other free kicks.

    AFLW umpiring standards should be any different to the mens. 

    Totally agree. Family friend is ex AFL umpire and still umpires AFLW. Excellent umpire and should be doing both mens and womens. He’s not allowed to umpire the mens because he hurt his shoulder and can’t bounce. Can throw it up just fine. Interestingly one of the umpires out there tonight doesn’t have to bounce it and can throw it up at ruck contest. Hmmmmmmmmm 🤔

    Fritta needs to have an impact to this quarter

    Getting those 2 bits of dead wood out of his way would help

    Great goal Jordan.
    Finding his groove.

     

    I am amazed that so many games as a med sub. And some not used turns you into a very good player

    Did you ever think that they might not have the strength to bounce it to such a height?

    They have but I think we’ve handled it well, only difference being that’s the Giants best and we’re running at about 75-80%. That Kosi non handball to Fritsch was effectively a two goal turn around.

    true, I think that the forward line isn't functioning as well as it should which means we are relying on the defence to hold us up, which it does.

    not sure with weed, is he out of confidence? is it his role, forward delivery, positioning?

    Tmac should stand upon a night like this too

    It's the interpretation that's the problem. You don't know these days

    And Kozzie dropping

    How the [censored] was that not a free to Harmes? More front on contact than Petty vs Hogan.

    • 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?
