Has the AFL made any comment about the state of the ground?

It will be “AFL grounds have never been better.”

    Disgraceful tunnelling tackle not paid that quarter 

    Umpire was right there😡

    Umpire 26 looked straight at it side on from nearby and just waived play on.

    Hipwood should be suspended for that as Blakey could have broken his neck, let alone the potential to be concussed.

    I’m are they cone out and say it was an incorrect decision after the game.  But it was so obvious to everyone watching,

    Just a blatant lack of understanding of the situation. Bump, yes, but not when you should be contesting the ball.  
    Should be the same as contesting a ground ball - a duty of care for the player in a vulnerable position.
    Could also apply to Gulden’s tunnel on Berry, but at least he pretended to go for the ball.

    And it was a mark as well

    Not even remotely true. 

    If we lose we’ll be 2 points out of the 8, and still within one game of 5th (possibly 4th too, if Brisbane lose).

    Our draw gets easier from here, not harder, with the last three (Port, GC, Coll) easier than the next three (Fremantle, GWS, Dogs).

    Beg to differ

    3-3 won't cut it

    Dogs have a superior percentage and three teams now in the eight have the benefit of a drawn game

    Ridiculous 50 to the blues to decide the game

    Umpiring late in games that significantly impact results will be the reason people stop going to the footy.

     

    Unless they support Carlton. Whole season is a joke. As corrupt a competition in all sport. Well sports entertainment.

    This season is so out of whack. Teams are getting pumped 1 week then playing like contenders the next.

    • 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?
