ROOOOOO

One o too little mate 

 

I understand the plan now, bomb it to the hotspot so many times that the defenders crash into each other and take out their ruckman - and hopefully crumb a couple of goals in the process. 
 

Nice to see it come together after 2 years of trying

    Any chance we could ask Harmes to tag the Bont??

    Will happily take the lead (albeit slim) considering how much space we've allowed the Bulldogs forwards so far.

    Windsor looks good. Staggering that Billings was given the sub vest last week. Hasn't looked out of place at all so far.

    Surprised the doggies didn’t follow Sydney and just flood the drop of the ball with players. Worked a treat for them last week.

     

    Great to see us out marking the opposition for once.

    Some decent umpiring and we are two goals up .

    May looking good.

    Kozzie too.

    Chandler getting better.

    Jvr and Oliver getting involved.


    Anyone else see May smash Harmes and then push his head into the ground??

    no love lost there!

    Lot of belting it blindly into the F50, luckily the Dogs defenders seem to have NFI under the high ball…could go either way though we would want to play a bit better to put a break on them 

    Ahead on all the key stats

    Forward entry is the usual failure but the Dogs backline is their weakest spot so we might be on

    1st qtr 

    👍🏻May. Viney. Rivers. Mcvee. Billings. Salem. Oliver. 👏👏👏

    X Gawn handball to English 🤨🤨🤨

    X umps 😡😡

    Nice comeback after the dogs start.

    Billings has done some nice things, vineys kicking is a lot better and van rooyen is taken some good marks. 

    Just need trac to stop fumbling

    Fix that and we win.

    Just lead and create space and stop bombing.

    They'll catch onto it soon enough. Unbelievable we're still dumping it in

    Where is Max?

    I've only got radio and stats to watch here, so maybe I am missing something?

    7 disposals, 3 marks, 4 clearances, 2 intercepts, 2 rebound 50s, 3 score involvements, 130m gained at 85% DE seems like a pretty good first quarter for a ruck.

    Cheers.

    I was worried he was injured when Jvr was rucking for so long.

    Brilliant finish from ANB, but that goal was ALL CLARRY!

    • 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.
