The graphics don't even match up with the votes being read out?

Not a great start, considering that highlights package looked like it was played at about 8 frames per second.

Apparently last night at the dogs b&f, after they just started, it showed up on the screen who won.

Our boys are polling well. I reckon we might pick up a medal tonight. 

The word is P. Cripps takes it out

Thank you Gus for calling out Pert completely botching BB's number.

How would anyone remotely connected to the club not know that he's number 50?

Interesting, I thought it was Daicos' to lose!!


I was more excited about Brayshaw than Hogan when they come to the club.
Kid was a fearless beast from the get go.

How old is Harold Ball????

I don't understand your question. Harold's son Ian accrepted the award on his dad's behalf. 
I've known Ian for more than 40 years.
He rarely misses a game, be it in Vic or interstate.I had no idea he is the son of Harold.
Ian is 70ish. His dad would have passed away some years ago.

My bad, I thought it was the man himself and he was 104!


Just looking over the life members stuff - 45 games and 73 goals was a decent enough return from BBB I think.  And for all the talk about cultural issues at the club, guys like Ben should be celebrated even more for what I understand he bought in that regard as well.

His contribution to our 21 premership should never be underrated IMHO.

Nah, make Gus CEO

Actually a good call. Bring PJ back in to mentor Gus for 2-3 years. Gus goes to CEO, PJ goes to President.

My god that was terrific by Gus.

Make him CEO/President.

 

There will never be another Gus Brayshaw. 
A brilliant player, leader, and human. 
 

❤️💙

  • 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?
