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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
