    The whole Gill walking out to the podium thing is ridiculous. Was he just going round in circles, or something?

    This has too be the worst draft night in the history of VFL/AFL history?

    Yep, the draft used to be somewhat enjoyable, what they have turned it into is a disgraceful, abysmal, farcical circus. Has all the stench and hallmarks of Gill McLachlan ineptitude.

    Why? They knew they weren’t getting a pick tonight, now they can take their time knowing what’s already gone.

    Fox commentators amazed Valenti (?) Is still available. What's he like and would he be worth hoping makes it to our first pick?

    I can hear all other codes of sport laughing so hard the earth is moving.

    I’ll ask again, are we making this pick 26 tonight or can I go to bed? This is the the most drawn out shite I’ve ever been subjected to.

    Worst coverage ever.

    Just get on with it.

    Agree. It just dragged on.

    I hope Lukosius isn't as soft as Watts.

    Just a feeling.

    Thought the same. It may have been the many second grabs, and average of one goal a game. Don't know why GC didn't go the King brothers.

    I guess but they still have to go over who they might choose, just do it all in one night and be done.

    OMG I see that I have missed a riveting few hours of never to be repeated (thankfully) prime TV.

    Will it  be replayed, and if so when? (I want to know when to use my power supply down time).

    Please describe in full detail what was Gill wearing and how was his hair styled?

    How is that Syd/wce action not draft tampering?  Park a second rounder at wce, so bundle lower picks, then trade it straight back after the lower picks have been used.  How is this fair or in the spirit of the draft?  I know it cost them a later round downgrade next year, but this means they get Blakey and a second rounder for peanuts.

    So did Sydney trade that pick in AFTER they used later picks to match the bid on Blakey?  If so that should definitely not be allowed.  You shouldn't be able to trade in picks before any of the picks used for matching.  The AFL is just too stupid to have foreseen this and created a rule to prevent it.

    • 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.
