I know he could have given some free kicks away because he kept holding onto roccas arm but apart from that he held Rocca to 2 kicks while collecting 11 disposals himself. Even the pies supporters were getting into rocca especially when he gave away that stupid free kick in the last quarter when he tried to jump over the pack. Well done benny! Two years in a row he has thrashed Rocca!

    Comrade, Rocca is one of two official mouth-breathers in the AFL - the other being Matty Lloyd.

    Someone really has to teach them to close that mouth, and give the old snout a go.

    And yes, well done Benny.

    Biffinator.

    Dutchy is a projects man. He plays on the gorillas and does it to perfection. I couldn't believe he wasn't in the original line up when the team was picked. Was he always going to play and ND was just messing with them?

    As I said before the game, Rocca was under an injury cloud, and I knew that Dutchy would play if Rocca came up alright.

    Too bad Holland comprehensively smashed him.

    That was as bad a game from a forward as you are ever likely to see. Could he give away anymore frees?

    Absolute gold!

    Benny did his job today. He was poor in parts, but overall was very handy down back ofr the dees.

    No way Kingsley's strength has always been his quick leading.

    Will be interesting to see if Kingsley comes into the side, correct me if im wrong but he usually did well against us when he was with Geelong.

    Rocca had one kick, one hand pass and one mark. He also gave away six free kicks. How far into the negatives is his Dream Team score going to be?

    Someone mentioned -6 earlier in this thread.

    Agree on both.

    He did a great job. From memory either last year or the year before we had Richmond after Collingwood and he did the job on Richo as well. I'd keep him in the lineup for that reason.

    He just provides a perfect contest for those big forwards, and always seems to spoil their marks one way or another. And without strong contested marking, what use is a big gorilla forward?

    Dutchy was good again today. Killed Rocca the lumbering deadsh*t. Holland managed 11 disposals, while Rocca had 1 kick, 1 handball, and 7 frees against. FANTASTIC STATS FOR BIG BOOFHEAD ROCCA THERE HAHAHA

    I agree Hards. Keep him in to battle against his old teammate Richo. Should provide a good contest.

    Well that's an interesting point. Look at this picture from the Herald-Sun. I think the umpire said on at least two occasions: "you're both holding each other". Perhaps he was right.

    PS: Is Benny ripped or what? :)

    Yep it was a mutual hold, in the same way Carroll and Fraser (I hate that man with a passion!) wrestled in the goal square, and Fraser marked the ball. The ump let it go because both were holding on.

    Rocca was well and truly demolished by the great Benny Holland, and every single free-kick he gave away was there.

    They highlighted them all on Footy Classifides, and apart from the Robbo one that should have been paid, they were all right according to the new rules. Whether we agree with it or not, the umpires were just following the guidelines.

    • 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?

    • 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.
