Agree but Tassie not ACT

no watches their local league 

nah.... Suns for Tassie if North doesn't go there first (will be interesting if the AFL put some relocation money on the table after this Tasmanian review ... would upset hawks which makes it doubly good!!)

ACT is not a bad market with Wagga and the Riverina ... has always been strong AFL country. GWS has to be careful though because the AFL wants to maintain the media appearance that there are two Sydney teams

Richmond have the softest draw after winning the Premiership...  how does  that work?

Five in row at the G......... Not bad.

Six minutes into the third quarter and the Lions are 0 4 4

Wow

I don't think we were ever quite that bad.

And just glancing briefly at the GW$ Freo game - the Freo skills look about as good as ours were 4 or 5 yers ago.

Why, because they're currently playing Brisbane?

They have repeat games against Adelaide, Geelong, Essendon, Collingwood and St Kilda (at the time the AFL made the picks that was three finalists from last year plus two sides tipped to rise this year, and features none of NM, Carlton, Brisbane or Fremantle, who were tipped to be the year's worst sides).

They have four tough road games (Adelaide, Port Adelaide, West Coast, GWS). And they have to play a home game at Etihad against Sydney.

I fail to see how their draw is soft.

We were THAT bad.

Count your blessings we ain't now.

 

Lions seem to have had a rough draw to start the year. 

- The 4 games so far vs Saints, Demons, Port and Tigers and

- 3 of 4 games intertsteate:  2 trips to Victoria and 1 to Adelaide. 

No wonder they've run out of puff.

Would like to see them win a few especially against the teams I really hate (have only moderate dislike for Lions which is the best I can give to any AFL side).

Hoping Hunt gets his mojo back tonight in the Casey game.

We’d love to see him back to his dashing best on Anzac eve.

North to Tasmania.

i thought it was "north to alaska"

same difference i suppose

I don’t believe Adelaide were trying last night. You can delete all my posts but you can’t hide the truth.

So when will the "integrity board" start their investigation?  LOL

Picked up a snippet on SEN when driving today. They were interviewing Jeremy Howe and asked him how he felt like finally having success after he played for us. The tyres are getting pumped up on the Collingwood bandwagon again. I switched off the radio.

Sitting there wondering if and when our next goal would come.

What success?      Hes achieved nothing at the Pies and they have sucked since he got there.

  • 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.
