Must be a pretty bad calf injury given that Sydney are still in the hunt for finals.

He’s 36. Calf injuries are never good at that age. 

 

My mail is that he is playing with Gold Coast next year.

I did find todays announcement very unusual. No comment from the man himself. They either have something special planned for later in the year, or he’s the new Tom Brady.

 

The most enjoyable non-melbourne player to watch in full flight. 

Turning 30 this week and Buddy has retired

My youth truly has ended.

Oh boy has life got some fun surprises in store for you! 

Steven May must be cheering, far less chance of a concussion or tooth loss from those swinging elbows. 

also something something no chance of a fifth strike something something 😂

^ above in jest, of course. I’d have killed to have him in our forward line for the last decade

Absolute freak athlete and a gun footballer. Was great to watch him at his best.

Wait until the day you realise that there is no AFL footballer still playing who is older than you.

At least you're 30! Plenty of youth left!

Wait until one of your former teammates sons gets drafted. I pulled out the calculator and checked the math twice.

Turns out the numbers don’t lie. I’m old.

Burgoyne retiring really hit hard.

Shaun Burgoyne was the last player my age. At 37 I pulled my hamstring getting out of bed and it was sore for weeks. Seeing him running around at peak AFL condition at the same age and never getting injured was one of the most irreconcilable things I’ve ever seen in my life.

Slightly misleading in that it looks like he didn’t do much damage against the Lions but he got those 63 goals in 16 games for an average of 3.9 pg.

Someone at Essendon seriously [censored] him off though cos he smashed them all the way through his career at 3.8 pg.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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?
