Don't want to see 15 or 23 in maggot garb Sat Night.

There's no game without umpires and they do good work in a very difficult and highly scrutinised job. It's poor to refer to them as "maggots".

    They do average work and are well paid.Football is bread and circuses.Nobody puts a gun at their head.They should be better than they are.They often create the wrong result.They deserve and require constant scrutiny.

    Is this our sixth night game out of eight this year?

    Is the ball more slippery at night?

    Daytime (standard) red Sherrins are stained.

    The yellow night ball is not.  It's painted as you can't stain leather yellow. The paint is then covered with some sort of protective coating, so it's inherently more slippery.

    Add some dew to that and you have a slippery little sucker on your hands.

    Grippo probably becomes even more important on nights like this.  Some players like using it and others maybe not so much.

    So constant scrutiny = "maggots". 

    Olympic long jump is coming up - you just qualified.

    [censored] yeah!

    This is the kind of content I've been crying out for 👏

    Well done Claire Pettyfor.

    I think we are deluding ourselves if we think a forward line with Petty and Van Rooyen can get enough goals for us to win! Would have prefered BBB!

    • 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?
