Not sure about everyone else but kicking a point isn’t advantage?

They should never call advantage so close to goal. Just let the team take a set shot.

    Done that 10 times already.

    Bummers will continue to run and gun. We need to get our hands on it a lot more.

    Would be good if the midfield could play the whole 4 quarters without lapses in concentration.

    Kayo working flawlessly for us


    Fine start for Essendon they should be really proud of that effort. Draper scorching us in the ruck and if Petty is really hurt then they could really exploit that weakness down back.

    Great kick from Melksham to steal one back before QT but these guys need a rocket up their behind.

    We need to keep backing our ball movement because once we break the centre line the Bombers are very susceptible. Get stuck in and win more contested footy to shield the backs and we can easily get back in this.

    If you take the advantage it is, miss the goal stiff 

    We didn't take advantage, the foul was called after Grundy had disposed of the ball. Hard for Kozzy to know if he should kick or not.

    I've never seen Clarrie start a game with 2 touches in the first.

    Him and Trac need to really lift. Not good enough.

    Damn. Hope it improves for the rest of the game for you.

    I'm 5 km from the Adelaide Oval and there's no wind at all, so I don't know where you are. It's not raining. In fact, perfect conditions for footy. BB will play. There won't be any changes for weather.

    Might have changed your mind ..windy ..a bit of rain & no BB 🤔

    Shocking defence efforts but very efficient forward line entries -  almost the opposite of last season -  our backs need to get head in the contest and mids work harder defensively 


    Mids need to get involved more just letting the bombers have to many unpressured entries fwd  

    Let’s hope the coaches have sorted some of that [censored] out.

    Petty and Tomlinson stinking it up 

    One of the results of playing Petty up forward for most of the year?

    They are playing with a really high defense. Just have Rivers and Sparrow kick to space behind their last line of defence, get Kozzy, JVR and Milkshake work on ground.

     

    1st 

    fumbles very costly 

    Bombers spare defensive across half back is very good (Scott 1 Goodwin 0)

    Draper causing problems 

    Oliver 2 touches 🤮🤮

    Parish 13 disposals 🤔🤔

    Pickett nearly dangerous 🤩

    Fritsch 💙❤️

    Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
