I wish there was more footage of it, looked like something out of Tad Lasso.

I haven't seen Ted Lasso but taking a punt for potential good social veneer. 

A dog does play a part in Ted Lasso

The fictional Richmond FC has a greyhound as its mascot... no more spoilers... fantastic feel good show

    The rude player probably used to read DL and was shocked at all the negativity even during our flag season.

    Come on give us a hint. Its your call.

    May,Fritsch or Hibberd?

    Actually, it’s the complete reverse. The player in question is arguably the player least bagged on DL. Besides that, he couldn’t give a fat rat’s about anything that’s said about him or his teammates. That’s as much of a hint as I’ll give since I know that people who you’d think don’t read DL, actually do. 😉

    Laurie's debut was earlier this year.

    I'm reminded of one of Jack Dyer's memorable comments (about Melbourne's own Lally Bamblett):

    "Bamblett made a great debut last week and an even better one today".

    I wonder if it's the same person who played between 1984 and 1986......

    Player least begged on DL? Must be Clarry.

    Does his name rhyme with Lleyton Polyper?

    Edit: JNM got in first. Clarry looks like hes a serious competitor on AND off the field. The Michael Jordan of the AFL :laugh:

    The players who most appreciate the banners along with everything else we do (besides Melksy) are BBB, Langers, Harmesy, Ricky Lever and Brodie. These guys are also hands down the friendliest and the ones who engage with us the most. 

    Choco, Goody and Richo are also super appreciative. ❤️💙

    Conversely, there are some players who don’t engage at all and even one who is notoriously rude to DA members. Not gonna name them but it’s like with any group of individuals in life: some are not as pleasant as others. 

    Thanks for sharing that.

    Not surprised in the slightest about BBB and Lever. Both come across as ripper individuals.

    😂 No, but love the name. Clarrie’s not rude, he’s just shy.

    One of the players least bagged. Clarrie isn’t as friendly as the others but that’s his quiet nature. When you talk to him on-on-one he’s really nice. 

    On a random note did anyone catch the Jack Viney piece they did before the game last week? It was really good. Shows how far our club has come to the dark days when Jack first started

    everyone gets bagged on demonland

    so, you must really mean someone who doesn't get bagged-much

    The least bagged players on DL are Clarry, Trac, Max and Viney I reckon. Oh and maybe JVR. Hasn’t done enough wrong yet 😂
     

    I know it’s not Max or Trac. They’ve both been nothing but lovely when I’ve met them before. Viney would probably punch you if you annoyed him 😂

    I think this is the right change for the week, one forced, one based on form. Spargo will more than likely come back in at some point but needs to find some football at vfl level. Don’t get attached to Tommo, I’d think given past selection Petty comes straight back when fit.
     

    Current iteration of the forward line (bar Spargo) gets another turn to see how it goes, before Gawndy goes into the mix in a few weeks.

    Good changes this week.  Spargo whilst has skill, has not had the acceptable output this year.  Petracca whilst playing forward is playing up the ground so Spargo isn't needed for that role.

    Chandler is a great replacement, hopefully can recapture the early season form

    Good changes this week.

    Petty has been injured and in so-so form all year. Might be fitness and constant changing of role. Tomlinson is fit and in better form as a defender. He’s been dominant at Casey too, so good to reward form instead of reputation.

    Spargo hasn’t been in great form. Chandler started the year really well but struggled more recently. Hopefully he makes the most of the opportunity this week and hits the scoreboard again.

    Good changes. Chandler lucky to come back in after not showing too much at Casey but we need his run and pressure.

    I reckon if he kicks a goal or two the wheel will turn for him

    Crows significantly impacted by their outs. Laird is huge

    • 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.
