Top of the head Sunday morning rant.

Would not mind if Freo won it.

I'd also cop GWS. Love Tobes and Jesse.

Pies and Blues always repugnant.

Port are undeserving as is their coach.

Brisbane would be almost acceptable.

Had a gutful of the Cats and they're probably not good enough.

Dogs are a chance but not sure they can maintain this form which needs a 2016 repeat.

 

Nope can’t stand them and three first round picks this years they’ll get more talent into an already talented side.

    Shout out to GWS for saving their inaccuracy for this week as opposed to last week.

    Accuracy and efficiency is GWS’s one wood. If they don’t have that then they’re not much of a team.

    Port, Brisbane, Freo and Bulldogs have the form going into finals. And Port remain fragile and their form can disappear very quickly. I can't see genuine finals aspirants among any of the others striving to finish in the top 8. 

    I continue to believe that Brisbane will not win a GF with Zorko in the team, and with Hipwood as a main forward target. Daniher is playing outstanding footy when he is away from goals, but if they expect him to be a main forward force, the finals will find him out.

    Looks like Freo v Bulldogs to me.

    Looking like an utterly boring September….

    Media say anything about him playing, without any punishment at all, for at the least, being out at 3.00 am at a nightclub last week, drinking and maybe doing more and ending up unresponsive, taken by ambulance to hospital?

    Can imagine the coverage if it was a lesser club. Absolute silence from a totally beholden media.

    If only there were still journalists employed that could ask why being unresponsive because of substance abuse is different from concussion protocols?

    It really is time for teams to get multiple alternate strips or away strips like soccer. Last night was a joke and now Giants and Hawks are hard to distinguish in the sun. 

    Seriously irritates me, I wonder why we have to wear an alternate jumper against Essendon and Carlton don’t against Collingwood.

    Observations 


    Giants kicking for goal  v Dees straight  v hawks inaccurate!!!  Daniels miss from 15 metres out in front   FFS

    Umps favouring hawks clearly.  Hawks have been holding the ball several times. No free kicks. FFS. 
     

    But Hawks do take on the game and run. Guess what? Open forward line. 1-1 contests.  #AreYouWatchingGoody.  It’s a simple game !!!!  Dees slow and wide. wtf. Then it’s a kick to a contest.  FFS.

    I hope he feels angry 

    If he is tearing up, we have no chance

    Yeah. I thought it was just me. If anyone had genuine problems, they would be [censored]. In the sun, the dark and light orange/yellow strips are difficult to tell especially from aerial shots.

    Hawks play two easy beats so that’s 14 wins for them

    Dambrisio. Chol. Amon. Frost. Meek. Impey. Ginnivan. All 7 having very good games.  All picked up with loose change draft picks.  Hawks kept first and second round picks then topped up with other club recruits for key roles.  Its a simple game footy.

    You would have to say on paper we have a better list than the Hawks, but their style of play and game plan is working far better than ours.

    It may be due to a lot of factors,  but it is certainly starting with the coaching.

    Thanks Kelly Underwood for that lovely description. 
    And good afternoon to all the  personal care workers and residents out there.

    Umpires are getting GWS back in the game here. They’ve forgotten the change in rule re. 50m. 
    Not surprised. They forgot most of the rules Friday night.

    Kelli Underwood and pointless score reviews is a bad combination.

    Vs Billing’s, macadam , schache, Hunter , Fullerton all staring & @ vfl level, not sure how they got this so wrong and can’t expect all to impact but barring Hunter who is struggling we have no gains

    If Freo and Lions win the top 5 on ladder will be interstate teams after this week. And if it stays like that, the AFL will be rapt to have only one MCG final in the first week. Hehe

    • 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?
