Any mention of why Turner was a late out? Hope he's not being held over for any Lever problems?

Assume he flew up in case we lose a key back before the game, standard practice.

The advantage rule needs a review I think.

Casey shooting themselves in the foot with terrible disposal 

Absolutely. Field and goal kicking abysmal. The Captain has been the worst, his last 3 kicks have given the ball straight to the Suns.

Joel Smith’s kicking for goal has been terrible.

I agree. Casey didn't take the advantage. The players stopped. Then the umpire calls advantage and Woewodin get's caught because he's in a disadvantaged position.

Suns knowledge of the prevailing  conditions must be worth something. As opposed to Casey, plently of endeavour, but the finishing is below par.

MFC and Casey are playing at the same venue on the same day.

It’s one rule that bugs me SD, they can’t get it right like soccer. The ref in soccer wouldn’t have blown the whistle for a foul if that team has the ball and is moving up the field.
There was no need to blow the whistle and award holding the ball when Casey was about to enter the 50. All that did was make the player stop which is a disadvantage to the team. 

 

Finally, due to a short throw-in Gold Coast are advantaged because it falls into the hands of their ruckman unopposed. They called the back earlier when there was a short throw-in from the female goal umpire. Why didn't they do the same here? Directly from that, in the last play of the quarter with a kick after the siren the umpire allows the GC player, rather than kick over the mark, to kick at least 1m past the mark and hook it through. Should have been disllowed as he effectively played on.

For me the issue is the lack of common sense. So the umpire makes a mistake in giving a free and deciding to call advantage. Why couldn't they see what we all saw, that there was no advantage, so bring it back.

  • 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.
