The Suns won't get much confidence from their NEAFL game. With 11 Suns listed players, they lost to the Lions 12.24 (96) to 0.4 (4) .

Didn't kick a [censored] goal!

    well, given the state of the GC reserves we should go ok. 

    They had 11 listed players and 5 are first round picks and they failed to score a goal in the NEAFL against the Lions reserves team.

    how can a team that is 3-2 in the NEAFL, with players such as Peter Wright and Kade Koladjashnij not score a goal and only score 4 points for the whole game.

    I'm out all day so I'll be keeping tabs on my phone.  As I can't discuss the game with all you wonderful* people, I'll leave you with these:

    - A 5 goal win is fine.  In fact, ANY win on the road is fine.

    - Dom Tyson is the best disposer of the football in the AFL and will hit target after target today.

    - Don't [censored] your pants when Gold Coast kick the first and then refer to the lead up play as 'reminding you of the Mark Neeld days'

    - ANB should be a long distance runner at the next Olympic Games.

    - Dees to win... by 5 goals...

     

    *Most of you are wonderful...

    But the highs and the lows I go through every 39 seconds... they vary...

    lol

    Dom has so far got 4 from 4 kicks in the pregame - don’t use up all your tickets pal...

    Wife has volunteered today, god bless her. Apparently the fishing has been quite good and the big croc is out sunning himself.

    Why isn't this game in Cairns ?? I'm in Port Douglas now and I would go to watch them in a heartbeat if it were in Cairns. As it is, I'll be watching it with FND at the Central Hotel in Port Douglas as the coconut palms sway in a gentle tropical zephyr. 

    This is our day people !! 

    Hey Pineapple, I did just exactly that when I was up there visiting relatives and watched the Brisbane game! 

    Agree with Cairns venue. Tell you what you will find a few Dees supporters sharing a frothy with you at the Central! 

    Also the regular Cane toad races are Huge next door!!

    Enjoy!

    do they have one of those swimming pools for the Southerners to watch the game from ?

    Sorry too lazy to change threads......that c.curnows ok.

    Worried about the 4 games in 18 days affect on our run! 

    Just taken my seat at the Vulture street end ground surface looks great, conditions near perfect except for a swirly wind. The crowd is underwhelming. I thought there was a clown convention on as well but just realised they are Suns supporters in full gear!

    That's some impressive laziness. Are you going to be able to manage the remote?

    15mins from first bounce and the MFC cheer squad makes up about 1/4 of the total crowd.  Not going to be breaking any attendance records here today.

    Will probably be a bigger crowd at tomorrow's VFL game to watch Casey.

    I do hope so.  A more legitimate Aussie Rules following up on the GC than Western Sydney.  It's a long was from the GC to Brisbane ...a bit like the MFC playing a home game at Kardinia Park.  Based on this attendance GC would probably have been better off playing at Southport's home ground tonight.

    • 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.
