I think this is the most glaring example of the club/coach/captain’s stubbornness I’ve ever seen.

Grundy rendered Gawn almost useless from the very first bounce and we had absolutely nothing up our sleeve to rectify it.

 

I do. When the guy keeps running across the line to wrestle you and block your jump, jump early with knees up and it won't happen again. I was screaming that at the TV all game, but no one heard me.

    My TV also doesn’t respond.  


    “Get Spargo off” I was shouting 

    but I didn’t get any response 🤣🤣🤣

    Practice your skills. Agreed !!  
     

    5 1/2 months to work in execution of skills.


    Still no movement or forward line craft aside from Fritsch.

    Midfield bombs into forward 50. 

    At least it’s only round zero 🤣🤣

    Grundy was in front of him well before he could legally jump, smart coaching from the Swans

    If Grundy can run around into Max's area, Max can jump.

    Even if he went early and gave away a free, it wouldn't happen again.

    I was waiting for Max to counter by meeting Grundy half way. But a lot of the time he allowed it to happen. Surely you’re allowed to bump a player that’s trying to block your run at a centre bounce?

    I dunno, has to be incentive for the rucks going for the ball over just blocking, especially at the centre bounce.

    Yes indeed - I've just had a look at his stats. I wonder if my skewed view of his game was influenced by some good work he did in front of me. I was seated in the forward pocket. Plus the fact I've had a man-crush on him since he arrived at the club.

    I've always thought he is one of our elite players.

    He has dramatically dropped in form since last year.

    Viney - the umpires friend

    Not that I’m complaining but there might be a bit of through to that.

    In round 24 last year Gulden played a near perfect 40 possession 2 goal game and yet Viney got the 3 votes.

    I reckon Viney will poll extremely well in the Brownlow this year provided we tick the wins over.

    …could’ve run around into Grundy’s area. A bit Marx Brothers, but would have been better.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
