You just know that 90% of those GWS supporters in the crowd must be player family members.

A lot of hindsight Harry’s in this thread

that 50 to the Giants scares me. The Saints guys is meant to hear Stand from the ump from 30m away with a big loud crowd. 

that should never be a 50. change the rule now

 

Saints still have no stars

playing finals does them no favours

they need elite talent 


At the station with a herd of saints fans. They need a hug. 

Narrative on 7 now changed to how brave the Saints have been. Spare me, they have been [censored].

The Saints have been boring and wont be missed but I won’t trash talk their finals exit until we beat the blues and save ourselves from another straight sets exit 😬

Even the cheer squad has a sign that reads ‘I’m definitely not an AFL employee’.


on a positive note - how good is it not be seeing those greased up fool in blue and white hoops play this weekend?

not to mention hawks, WC, bombers etc

AFL were on airtasker all week getting the Giants ‘fans’ to turn up

The giants play bloody good football, good to watch and their top end is absolutely elite

When in Melbourne they book the broom cupboard at the Mountain View Hotel for after game functions. 

Tom Green pick 10 in that seriously good 2019 draft.

He’s a gun. He’s absolutely massive too. He’s only going to keep getting better.

Shocker of a 1st finals week.

Coll and Blues winning by a kick  GWS looking dangerous Bedford kicking goals  WTF

All i need now is for Lions to win.

That #&@%## McRae can wipe that smerk off his face. Pies obviously had a plan to get one of our mids.

Result? Brayshaw obliterated and JVR suspended.

Maynard?  Tuesday He gets weeks.  Thursday  50/50 he gets off on appeal assuming hes suspended. It was all just an unfortunate misunderstanding.  Water under the bridge.  0 weeks.

To be fair did anyone think they’ll make finals?

The poor giants cheersquad. They try there best to be heard. But I'd rather hear them then the ferals chanting Collingwood. 

But good on them for showing up. Even had giants fans in the mcc

It's amazing how many have forgotten that we didn't let him go. We offered a three tear contract and Toby asked to be traded because he believed he could not break into our side. GWS contacted Tobys management and asked to meet when they knew Hill was leaving. 

GWS have some genuine A graders.  They are a very good team.  Kingsley has done a fantastic job.  Whoever they get next week will know they have played a game.

You aren't paying enough attention Dub...

 

Chandler's game against Willy was pretty decent i thought.  Will probably need to kick the door down to get another look though me thinks after his very ordinary first up performance in Rnd 9 vs the Blues last season.

I liked Bedford's first up game this year.  Looked more switched on to the high end tempo of AFL and brought some serious pace and reasonable finish at the highest level.  However, he pretty much only played half a match so would need to see a chunk more and playing a large part of a match before being convinced he is ready.

Laurie i haven't seen enough of of late at VFL level to say.

If i had to pick one who is more ready out of the three i'd probably say Bedford but not with a high degree of confidence.

Has shown signs of brilliance in some of his games and hasn't had a real run at it given he's later in the pecking order behind Spargo & Kozzie.

Some of his ground ball gets under pressure are as clean as i've seen.  Same goes for the finish.  This bloke knows where the goals are and is pretty accurate on conversion.  Bit of a rarity nowadays.

A good back up for Kozzie in my view and an up and coming option if we need to go with three smalls depending on match ups. 

BUGGER OFF BOMBERS...NO TRADE!!

It will all depend on what they give him, if he gets two he can fight and win but if they give him the four or five that's being talked about there is no way he gets off on appeal. PS if he only gets the two it was prearranged anyway. 

Bedford played exactly as we thought we would.   Pace.  Pressure. Goalscoring. After being sub for 8-9 games and dropped , he wanted to be given a chance. Goodwin and others seriously got this one wrong imv.  He always looked like a player.  This is not hindsight.  We called it out over the past 3 years when he was on our list.

  • 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?
