fritsch done?

Seems fine. He’s on the bench just took some pain killers and is running the boundary. Chatting to the doctors.

    Lots of positives so far today, however:

    • Turner would want to get involved in this, Jefferson is breathing down his neck.
    • AMW has not been great. Looks a step behind AFL pace.

    Nibbler playing well. He’s everywhere.

    Yep, haven't seen this from him since early in the season. Absolutely a barometer.

    Really worried about McVee... couldn't see the bump well on kayo, but if anyone saw it, was there anything in it or just unlucky?

    hard bump. hopefully just badly winded

    JVR needs some grippo or finger extension surgery. He looks great but would be even better if a few more marks would stick!

    No much in it. Just a friendly body check. Must have just got him in the right spot.


    JVRs attack on the footy is outstanding so far

    many goals coming from it

    From my eyes nothing much in it, just got him in a soft spot with no malice

    Fair game

    I would pay millions for Waterman. Killing May on one leg.

    thank you, couldn't see any real angle on kayo of it

    The Dees need to settle as the Eagles are working their way back into this. This margin could disappear quickly.

    well apparently theres a rumour we're giving it a go to try get him


    Not watching live but looks like AMW is getting a fair bit of the ball, how is his disposal so far?

    May has the flexibility of a 40 year old. Just non-existent when the ball hits the ground.

    Wow Matt Hill’s commentary such a breath of fresh air. Puts in perspective how low the art of commentary has fallen since we lost Dennis, Sandy Roberts etc. It’s like listening to a grown-up again, rather than to a bunch of teenagers giggling at their own jokes.

    • 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?
