Anyone ever seen 4 goals in 10 minutes from a player? Plugger would be happy with that

take away the minute in between goals and it’s 4 goals in 6 minutes if play. No feee kicks. 

what a freak. Best player of the last 30 years easily imo

    We’ve copped our fair share WCW, so I love it when a mate sends me stuff like this. They have the most arrogant supporters imo.

    Very impressed by this performance from Brisbane 

    Sydney are a good side being beaten by a better one.

    Lions are proving Sydney aren't quite at the level.

    Seeding:
    1. Melbourne
    2. Brisbane
    3. Fremantle
    4. St Kilda

    Western Bulldogs could make a Grand Final from anywhere in the eight.

    I don’t get the love for the Dogs. They hate pressure. They beat up on nothing sides and haven’t improved a single issue they’ve had last year, primarily their defense which is god awful. 
     

    Brisbane will absolutely challenge us. They have the only forwardline that will really push our defense. A strong midfield and a good defense. 
    Freo are another one I reckon could really challenge us. 

    St Kilda don’t have enough talent IMO but we will know more next week.

    Look mate, they’ve got their differences but that’s just love

    😂

    thought she had changed her name to Amber Teard?

    Bontempelli is either injured or being horribly misused by Beveridge. Should be a top 5 player in the comp and wouldn't be in the top 50 on performance this year

    Lions missed around 5-6 simple shots and were away from home. Daniher injured too

    felt like a 8 goal win. Lions not really troubled and would towel the swans up at home

    They are a very good team and were probably the biggest threat to us last season.  They are better again this year although I still think they concede too many big scores.  I like Freo defensively.  They need Fyfe up forward and kicking straight.

    The Worsfold - Rutten succession plan has been a resounding success thus far. 

    Apparently Rutten doesn't rate Goodwin a as coach.  Devastating for poor Goodie.

    I don’t think next week will tell us a lot, will be tough for them to back up Cairns, we also a chance of being underdone though due to Covid

    Cairns is putrid for humidity.

    Never been to Alice but no place on earth can possibly be as 'wet' as Cairns. 

    Try living at Daintree  100 k north. Maybe Tully 150 sth wettest place in Australia.

    For me i think Brisbane struggle against the better defensive sides, we showed in the qualifying final last year that if you take away their marks inside 50, they are so reliant on Cameron and it's just not enough. i honestly think this is why they've failed to make a grand final so far. 

    I think Freo defensively are good enough to restrict Brisbane but i have question marks over their fire power up forward, they're the most similar to us but i think they lack the pure quality we have in the midfield, the depth we have, and i think we have more fire power

    We play Port in Alice soon… so yeah, glass houses and all that.

    Why don't people check the facts?  They assume that because Alice is in the NT it has the same climate as Darwin (and Cairns).

    Alice is generally very dry, and the nights are cool / cold in mid winter.  Dew more likely to be an issue than rain / hot humidity.

    And the chances of Dew are 0.0013%

    Agree but Fyfe has never kicked straight and I can’t see that changing

    Why don’t people check the context of posts?

    They assume I was talking about the effing weather but I am actually talking about selling games to neutral venues that make it easier for clubs like Port to beat us.

    Lachie Neale is as good as his fellow players are on the Day.

    He is a constant talker to umpires, looking for favours, I would think. He is a ducker and a snipe by the way he plays. Maybe the umpires like that, I don't know. There are others, Mihocek Coll. Is another one, Selwood and Footscrays  Bontempelli are others, along with Coll Captain..

    Melb don't win Brownlows, Flower hardly ever talked to Umpires.

    I understand the need for Umpires to talk to players and transfer interpretation.This has been going on for a while though.

    • 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?
