What is the free kick count?

Fair dinkum, the biased umpiring in the West Coast games should come under investigation. Of course nothing will happen with the protected species they are. Makes watching so hard. 

It's disheartening for players not be rewarded for tackles.

    Any chance we could get out of 3rd gear for 10-15?

    Sure umps are gonna try and keep them in it, but if we really wanted to work for it and each other, that’d sort it all out.

    Yep Lazy players out there today

    Hunter's had a few brains snaps this season.  He's good with plenty of room but a bit of a worry under heat on occasions.

    Sparrow 10 touches @ 40 efficiency

    Jordon would be rolling in his grave

    Well .... That was a skanky 1st half.

    We’ll this is hard to watch. Hopefully they come out and destroy them in the second half. Pressure is very high but disposals have been pretty horrendous

    Free kick count is 9-9. But it’s the ones they don’t pay that frustrates me.

    Whats the point of having the 4th umpire if they still refuse to pay the bleeding obvious?

    That didn't age well!

    I also followed up with when he takes the first option he's better, but to think his way through he is just not there.

    There’s just not much speed, bend or jump in the old legs. He perfectly read the play there to get the ball inside 9 and rush it using a team mate but bending down and firing the handball tested him. As does every contested situation he’s in.

    I think we’d be wise to give him a week off every now and then for a physical and mental freshen up.

    • 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.
