Chapman and Cox are defenders, Cox was in the AA squad in 2022.

They are both better than Pearce, as is Luke Ryan. At full strength they are a strong defence and one which I think most people don’t appreciate. 

Yep, forgot cox was a defender. And as you say a really good one too.

I'm obviously in the not appreciating how strong their defence is. I'll reassess.

    Gotta stop watching Gws games and lamenting the loss of Hogan and Bedford.

    West Coast are an absolute joke of a club. Long may it last! They won’t recover from this easily, we know better than most. Gaff, Yeo, Darling, McGovern etc will be gone soon and then what?

    Then Tassie get all the picks. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch

    It really would be great to see West Coast down the bottom for another decade.

    Hogan gave us May and it worked out very well for us. 
    I’m genuinely happy for Hogan. It was never going to work out for him at Melbourne. Nothing worth lamenting.

    Cheers Jaded. Yea same here with Jesse. He had some rough things go on and he'd finally found some great form at Gws. He's a genuine good bloke of AFL. I still smile at his run up.

    This.

    I still love Jesse - don't feel any bad vibes about him. We did all we could - he end up at flogmantle were all (most) good footballers go to die. Good on GW$ - took a punt that's paying off handsomely. They must be doing something right up there. My man-crush on Jesse will lives on.

    Bombers putting up a decent fight tonight but Swans will run it out in the last. 

    Ben McKay is possibly the most overpaid footballer in AFL history. VFL standard yet on over 700k a year!

    Scully? Chris Dawes? Diamonds Tilbrook.

    Was one of my favourite players at MFC. And yea just because he's doing well at Gws doesn't necessarily mean he be crushing it if still with us. I hope he goes close to winning the Coleman. (Go Fritta).

    What do we all think about the Peter Wright incident? For me it's Maynard all over again, and should be 3-4 weeks. An attempted spoil or attempted mark is no longer either of those things when it ends up as a bump to the head.

    Here's the vision:

    Ordinarily I’d agree, but I feel so bad for Jayden. He’ll always be a Dee to me. And it’s not like he’s ever far from my mind: I have a giant cardboard cutout of him that I see every time I enter my house. 😭

    I agree with Sam Landsberger…

    Yes I like Jayden and feel sorry for him he’s ended up at West Coast. Not sure how long his contract is but hopefully he can keep his form up and request a trade out of the dump that is West Coast.

    • 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?
