    Preface: not calling anything biased, but it's really strange how the umpires are pinging about everything but then HTB isn't being called against either team.

    Un-preface, I'm calling this biased now.

    I know the old fashioned spray doesn't exist anymore but you cannot justify this performance. Goodwin surely blows a fuse at half time.

    Good mark by Petty.

    Drifted in from the side like a defender… 🤔

    Yep, 3 to 1 I reckon.

    Compare that to Freos forward entries.

    +18% in game possession 

    +9 inside 50s

    +20 clearances 

    +15 contested

    I would absolutely lose it if I were Goodwin. This is 100% effort.

    We might need a new backline coach. Our defenders refuse to play the ball out of any kind of pressure and never get to the fat side, so we always end up chip-mark in the skinny side or long bomb.

    Judd McVee can’t be the only defender who can actually play footy with the ball on the deck and a modicum of pressure.

    Great play from May

    • 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.

      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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
