    Its offical.

    Umpires do not pay holding the ball, or throwing the bal.  So many ball upps as a result.

    After Jesse's mark fiasco I have swithed off the game.  

    Unless Dees play umps/AFL Footy Ops dept. have stolen my enjoyment

    Much prefer watching VFL (Casey) now D17.  The umpiring there is at least a pass mark most weeks and i don't have to put up with "enter the sandman" pre match type rubbish plus the gound MC voice blaring in my ears at every single break.

    Its old school footy and just pure footy watching the boys develop and hone their skills / craft plus see how some of the seniors are doing post injury / recovery.

    It's also an easy get in terms of parking and price (or no cost using the membership) as the case may be.  The food is basic but reasonably priced or you can just take your own stuff with you.

    Most games are also during the day, making the standard fairly reasonable without the greasy / slippery ball stuff that you get at night time matches.  Of which we seem to play alot of!

    Add to that the ever increasing cost, no cash accepted nonsense, AFL fixture / start up club bias, the constant "it's this week or that week build ups" and it all adds up to a big turn off for me now.

    The AFL is sucking the life and enjoyment out of the big stage stuff now.

    Riccardi a stellar game so far.

    That goal in the 3rd was very special.

    Something you don't see alot of from the big fellas much nowadays.

    Thought it was changed tp 20 at the time of the Mac Andrew AFL fix?

    Did they as change it back again after 2018 or so?

    Giants have found their shooting boots. It's starting to look ominous for the cats

    Watching Peatley tonight, really hoping we'll see Kolt get another shot at it soon.

    Reckon he'll bring a similar exuberation, desperation and run to this group if he gets the chance.

    That second quarter was great. Alas, it’s all Geelong since then. Was looking forward to seeing Scott’s sourpuss mug.

    Geelong supporters are unbelievable. Deathly quiet when their players need to hear them most, only find their voices when their players least need to hear them.

    The barracking for Geelong is nauseating. Not as overt as some commentators (BT) but just as unprofessional.

    • 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?
