Just now, whatwhat say what said:

my cousin is convinced there’s a minimum quota of score reviews to satisfy the sponsors

i think he might be onto something

somebody is getting paid. i thought perhaps the goal umps are on a commission. some of the reviews today were pointless.

    the most egregious one was yesterday at taxpayer park, where the ball hit the post and went at right angles and the goal maggot STILL called for a review

    Zac Bailey has played 120 games? Feels like he’s only been around a few years 

    Very good player. Got a few more gears ⚙️ to go yet, very good 1 v 1 and snags goals.

    I50 entries by Freo are putrid by foot or bombing it in. 

    I love to hate Freo. They really [censored] me off.

    A poster yesterday used the name "Pork Barrel Park". I quite like that

    and to not have to go there this year we had to accept a pretty crummy fixture of short breaks between games

    the worst thing that happened to our club was being perennially poor on field during the dawn of the tv era

    This is so true. (Listen to the wise, kiddies. We're not all senile.)

    Looking towards next weeks it appears Sicily has been suspended for protecting himself against an Essendon player trying to be tough (which is rare). The MRP is a shambles.

    Anyone watch the Lions last week and have been watching tonight?

    Whsts happening with them?

    Thanks

    Freo have stepped up the pressure big time. Lions look rushed in their disposals since quarter time.

    He lifted a player off the ground and dumped him off the ball. That’s dangerous and silly. Nothing defensive about that.

    Always been a bit of a grub, Sicily.

    Early days but a potential 0 & 2 for the Lions including losses at homes is massive.

     

    Someone else posted on Demonland that 0-2 to start a season means only 18% chance to play finals. So historically, one of pies or lions probably won’t play finals going off that, which is interesting

    BrisVegas playing Collingwood next in Round 3, would be great to see both winless heading towards this match.

    • 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.
