Sorry for the intrusion. Not sure if there's a better place for this. But noticed this year that on the AFL app, Essendon is now the "Dons" in the official scoring section, whilst every other team has their more traditional moniker. Wondering if this is a recent change, or just the preferred nickname for you guys these days. I would have thought you'd prefer Bombers..

Dons does get used a bit and always has. It's also used for all of the game day hashtags that the clubs and AFL use on official accounts, and is shorter to type if you're worried about a character count. Bombers is our official nickname though, as it has been for a long time, even though it's basically just on the logos and that's it.

Easy for St. Kilda to come back with an extra 3 men on the field
Yeah momentum changing decisions by the umps. Last night the umps stopped our momentum. They gave St Kilda the momentum today. Melbourne however haven't been playing the way they did in the first half. Too conservative at the moment.
