Concerning that many people think this 'very clearly' crossed the line.  The line is also the back of the post.

You all need glasses  😂

I'm more concerned that the score review panel thought it very clearly didn't. Quickly as well

So proud of my peeps. They looked great considering more than half of us weren’t there. If you look at the fence in front of Ricky Lever you can see the GO JUDD sign that was given to the DA by Judd’s  family. ❤️💙

Noticed that sign very early on, great stuff!

You’re right, he was good, but a couple of times he had the opportunity to hurt us today and his foot skills let him down.  He did this too often with us. I wish him well, but not too sad he’s gone. McVee a much better option moving forward. 

Was telling though that he bustled past Hunter to make that chest mark and goal. Was making a point I guess. Good luck to him.

What they’re saying at Windy Hill/Bomberblitz should be a good read this week.

Tmac's game was superb, crashing the contest and ripping down some contested marks with 4 to go along with it. 

Thats the tmac we all know and love. 

Cooking not cooked!

who just dumped the Pies out of the top 4???

 

I might be wrong, but I don’t think JVR has missed a shot on goal yet. Loving his assured kicking for goal.

We have LOTS of in form players, multiple 'utility' players, a very strong list, and many things going well. It is astonishing to think er can play this well with Gawn, Salem and BBB out. For pure strength and talent, we are as good as we have ever been.

Our fumbling is becoming a concern and will hurt us against the better sides, especially when it is Petracca, Viney, Oliver, ANB, Spargo etc... who are usually so clean. We have to tidy this up. 

Great to see many of our players improving et shot goal kicking.

We now have a scary forward mix. Maybe even better than 1994 and that is saying a lot.

My man Brayshaw is possibly our sloppiest current player. Some of his un-pressured stuff ups today (and over the last 2 weeks as well) were mind boggling. It is only his 2-way running and defensive efforts keeping him in the 22. He is a gun, but clean hands and feet required.

 


Finally got to watch the highlights off the AFL website. Can I just say so far Kyle Chandler has to be the most improved player. His ball use, kicking passing and running has been great and now he has added kicking goals to his game. Credit to him.

No. Subbed out in the last for JJ. Not injured. Just managed. 

@Jaded No Moreand @BritishDemonFan in his presser Goodwin described Hibberd as our only injury concern and said he got subbed out because of soreness in the achillies again. He noted we had a short week to next Saturdays game so would need to be assessed.

Was at the game. Hunter is really starting to find his groove in our team. He is a gun and will be huge for us.

So impressed by some of our youngsters -

Rivers, McVee, Bowey, Chandler - take bow!

When it becomes crunch time with selections he should get games ahead of Spargs if he maintains current form


Had a good day today at the game watching the boys have a win. Pretty scrappy early on wasn’t much to watch as I’m sure it wasn’t on the TV.
The umpiring was probably the worst I’ve seen for a long time - just absolute [censored] on all levels.

Really happy to see Viney back amongst it - just relentless. Grundy is a godsend.

Eagles supporters have no idea but probably made better calls today than the umpires at times.

Anyone think this headline is a bit much?

Yeah that’s a bit much even when it’s a 3 word analysis.

Very happy to walk away from that with a 10 goal win and form into players like TMac. 

That’s two road trips out of the way in the first month of the season, and a 3-1 scoreline from the Dogs, Brisbane, Sydney and West Coast is IMO a good result.

He had one shot from about 45 for a behind.

Now we just need to get Essendon further down the ladder. 


Missed the game today but just watched the highlights in the AFL app and it was so bad they didn't even show the goals being kicked! Ridiculous! Great win by the boys!! Go Dees!

Bring on 3rd v 4th next week. 
Nibbler did plenty of tough work, 11 tackles is a fair effort.

Thought he was very good today.  Alot of stuff inside and out that probably went unrewarded on the sheets & unoticed.

  • 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.
