Wasted opportunity from us. We CANNOT give the swans a sniff. Wrong team. We have to respond straight away. 

Here come the umps. Every time we play Sydney.

 

That was Clarrys direct oppo out of the middle with the clearance

Our rucks and Miss need to get bloody together this is a slaughter and embarrassing 

We've learnt absolutely nothing from last week's stoppage smashing.

Some serious heat need to go on Yze and the mids if this doesn't improve throughout the game.

Heat of the moment. Umps are too sensitive.

Heat of the moment as an excuse is such a red flag. 

Road rage?

Physical threats in a pub?

Any other situation in life?

None of it is acceptable, and it's not needed on a football field.

If professional rugby players can control themselves, but you think it is verbal and physical aggressive and arguing is an auto response that should be allowed, then that seems like a you problem.

opening your mouth or putting your arms up isn’t dissent. so it’s a wrong call. has to be intimidating or language showing dissent

95% of the time it’s not paid

Not true at all. Any behaviour (including language) that is insulting, intimidating, or abusive can be awarded a free kick.

Body language can fit in this, and the AFL made it clear it does.

Chandler says hi

If Tracc and Rivers clean up their disposal this is an 80 point drubbing coming up

for those at the game Cunningham has a head knock. down in the rooms. likely concussion

  • 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?
