Any week that Fritta’s Mum and Dad are on the TV is a good week to be a Demons fan.

@WalkingCivilWar tell Frittas mum she was brilliant in the post match. Loved seeing her and Maysy’s mum on the TV. They should all be very proud.

I will! She’ll love to hear that!
We were at the Pineapple pre-match having a drink or ten and Scott (Mr Frittata) recorded a lil vid of us. Needless to say I will NOT be sharing it on DL. 😁 I left the Pineapple at the very latest I could to get to the ground on time for setting up. Five minutes down the road she messages me to come back! It’s the closest I’ve come to blowing off Army duties. 😁

Tx Dl.

Answerth should have got 2. Anb was vomiting.  What a sucker punch.

Good to see that ch7 found the vision of Arnsworth's strike on Neal-Bullen.

Awful  behind play strike.

Just so frustrating that ch7 didn't play the vision for the world to see what was going on.

What makes this win extra impressive IMO is that Brisbane weren't as pathetic as the scoreline made them look.

This wasn't a game where we had the ball locked in our forward half. Inside 50s were even in the first half. Indeed, they had more than us in the second quarter (but kicked 1 goal to our 7). 

We were on top in CPs but not to the extent we have been in other games.

This was a reminder that our game, when we bring our best, stands up anywhere, against anyone.

You are spot on TU. It wasn't the sort of game that Goody would describe as "on our terms". Brisbane had plenty of clear entries inside 50. In some respects, we were more dominant against the Pies in the first 3 quarters than against the Lions. But there were 2 significant differences.

From the 1st minute, there was a notable shift in how we entered our forward 50. I haven't seen us lower our eyes all year. Amazing how much easier it was for Fritta and BBB when they were allowed to lead up to the ball carrier. 

And secondly, our backline slaughtered the Lions forwards in one on one contests.

For us to be at our best, the players need to be given some sort of license when we have the ball to hit up leading targets, and not be solely concerned about the ramifications of a turnover. We have the best backline to deal with that.

This sounds like Scott! He certainly enjoys himself at the footy...


Channel 7 were as disgusting as the lions last night. Completely fictional narrative to pump up the home town, non-victorian underdog despite that underdog team playing like a pack of indie, mudshow, jabroni thugs

Where is the vision? Do you have a link?

Scott was an absolute gun footballer back in the day..

The mystery of what caused the Nibbla vomit is solved. It was a punch in the guts, but not from [censored] face Zorko. It was Noah Answerth that got him.

And Answerth gets a week from the tribunal.

But I got to see close ups of Neal Bullen vomiting and Barry’s tennis ball ankle 🙄

Brisbane should challenge Raynors.
Carlton has proven the head is sacrosanct ... Until the lawyers come in.

Was at the game and have just watched the first half again tonight.

The thing that summed it up for me was Jayden Hunt. With about 12 to go in the second quarter, he wins a contested possession on the half back flank, hands it off and then gut runs past three lions opponents to take a mark in clear space on the opposite forward flank.

Absolutely burnt them off. Incredible running by our team all night.

He screwed the kick up into the F50 but it was super impressive running, he just left them jogging after him.

Our F50 entries were so much better too.

Also, Zorko grabbing Ed in a choke hold and then pulling his hair was pretty low. He should have been cited as well for that.

How I'm feeling today.
 

 

I just can’t put in words how pleased I was when I saw that vision of our boys doing that after the game.  It just says so much!

No I don't.  But the only way Arnsworth  could have been charged is if the MRO obtained it from ch7.  And it must have been more than a tummy tap for it to be graded: intentional, medium impact, to the body and therefore get a one week suspension.  That it was behind play wouldn't help his cause.

Very poor that ch7 didn't show it at any stage or even refer to it.

  • 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.
