    The umpiring in the game is putrid. If the Dragons defenders touch a player in the defensive 50 it is an automatic free kick.

    Don't mind the look of Andrews.

    Did you notice who had two goals in the first quarter? My mate Hynes. 😘

    Wouldn’t want to get pinned by an Ah-Mu tackle…

    Got a decent game here. Tauru looking really, really good overhead.

    Good goal from Ah-Mu. 3 for him now and 3 for Hynes.

    app has ah-mu as the leading goalkicker with 3 for stingrays in a 6 point win, and hynes 2 goals 2

    langford another dominant game i presume, judging from the stats?

    I couldn't watch it today. Can you both give a quick run down how the NGA players went?

    Interesting. I missed the first quarter where it said Hynes had 2. He then kicked the first goal of the last quarter. Since I didn't see the first quarter, I can't confirm.

    Riak did quite well 1v1, his defensive positioning is still a little rusty, but he's clean at ground level and a neat kick. He was solid.

    Ah-Mu is just a big boy, but I like his tackling intent, he's a good mark and he's a good kick. Kicked a ripper that ended up being the winning goal. I do worry about his pace at AFL level, but maybe he's not much slower than a McLean from Sydney.

    The way he judges the ball in the air and leaps is pretty rare for a young tall.

    Yeah I did say a while back Ah-Mu would need to strip a lot of puppy fat once he gets into the AFL system.

    Thanks for the update mate.

    Duursma was best on ground for mine. By quite a way.

    Couldn’t add much more to what Adam’s said, but Mentha was pretty quiet and one of our other future NGA kids, Prasad kicked a goal for Dandy but was quiet outside of that.

    Riak matched up on Tauru for a lot of the 2nd half (including ruck contests inside Gippsland 50), and it was a fun watch. At times they were playing kick to kick with each other though (I’ll blame the wind).

    Mentha copped a knee injury in the first quarter and pretty sure didn't return to the game after that unless I'm mistaken.

    Ah, I didn't realise he was an underager, but that makes sense given there's no talk about him in the 2024 crop. Derps. 🤦

    Moves a lot like his bro last year. Classy, clean, makes good decisions. Surely will be top 10 next year, unless it's the greatest class of all time or something happens injury wise.

    @ChaserJ is there a website or resource that shows who is part of our NGA? I haven't been able to find anything doing a search online.

    Sorry mate, haven’t been able to find anything that’s centralised that info either.

    Damn, must have happened before I rocked up.

    ACL bad or more of a knock?

    Slowly hobbled off without assistance but escorted by a trainer nearby. Didn't see the incident itself unfortunately so not sure on what mechanism caused it. Near the end of the first quarter from memory if it's available on replay. From the way he was walking I would be surprised if it's serious but stranger innocuous things have happened.

    Mentha play half back?

    Could you imagine a Dees v Hawks game - a crowd full of Viking and Wizard hats!

    • 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?
