What should chandler have done. The part where it becomes dangerous is out of his control. He has to play the game.

He has to roll the player as he's tackling him, or let go and concede that he can't tackle him safely. A strong enough player can hold the falling player in the tackle also.

I'm in the "accidents happen in footy" camp, but that was avoidable.

    Not at the end it wasn't.  He's gone

    Looked at it twice, not sure, was a single action not two  and body was side on, didn't ride him into ground.

    The lesson from tonight is that we all keep learning. BT is not the worst commentator...

    Some of the comments on this thread are very ordinary 

    Meth Coke were always going to make us earn it. Winning a Flag on their new Fortress. 
    We have worked really hard as a team tonight

    Naish walking through a Petracca tackle wasn’t a good look.

    Give it a [censored] rest mate.

    A chance for back to back here-- FFS its in our forward line.

    She has gone from bad to extremely awful. 
    Her attempts at puns and jokes are cringeworthy

    He let go of the player.


    FMD - in the back against Kozzie.  What gutless biased umpiring. 
    Yet they demand respect 😱

    GO DEES!

    ❤️💙

    Nice tackle from Chandler, unfortunately if you tackle with the intensity needed to take down someone like Viney or Petracca and get some random Eagles bloke and he lands on concrete you’ll get suspended

    • 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.
