I know Zak Jones was quite a nuffy today, but i'd still take him for his pace and contested work - And being trade out of Sydney would be a wake up call to pull his head in. I have to wonder if he has lowered his trade value tonight and we could get in on the cheaper (than before). For eg a sydney fans over the top response: "I’m sick of this [censored]. He’s fast becoming a liability and yeah, not worth it. Would gladly give him away, [censored] a trade."

 

Pass.

    Sydney on the way out, time to spend some time on the bottom now, bye bye.

    Gill and his henchmen just will not allow that to happen.

    Hurley and Stringer laughing on the bench with 1 min to go despite not being in the 8. Makes me sick. 

    And yet the press focus on Bernie smiling with Danger....

    I agree totally that the Bernie / Danger thing was ridiculously overblown by the press*, but surely it is OK (even good) to have a laugh when you chalk up a somewhat unexpected and emphatic win.

    * one of the great traditions that remains in our game despite administrators trying to stuff it up completely through incompetence or ego, is that players usually can mix after the game.

    So you can bang an opponents head into the ground if it is in one action?

    Not if you are NicNat. He got done for that

    This lions cats game could go either way. Cats aren't much chop but lions lack composure (sounds similar to last Saturday night).

    A lions win would be huge, but pee me off at the same time as, if we won last week, it would've ended the cats' season.

    Amazing presence of mind.

    Absolutely the correct call too.

    Best goal this year that kid is a ripper 

    Our equivalent (Spargo) has as many tricks I reckon. Difference is that it looks like Charlie is always thinking team first, where this Richmond bloke just does whatever is natural to him.

    Another game demonstrating why the upcoming rule changes are not required.

    Last week aside, are there any other games we've failed to put the foot down?

    We've smashed all the bad sides, repeatedly blowing the lead out late, and in the other losses we've either been trying to catch up (Geelong, St Kilda, Port, even Richmond) or just not in it (Hawthorn, Collingwood).

    We have many lessons to learn, but not sure that is one of them.

    Are C'wood about to have an honourable loss?Or is there no such thing?

    I am talking the good teams, sorry i should have been more specific, with our dominence in the midfield, we should be far more dominant. But at this point we still haven’t mastered putting the foot down. 

    It’s the big one to learn, so not all teams master it, but our midfield, i hope will demand it. 

    Tonight will tell us a lot...Is the team shot or are they genuinely angry at being beaten last week

    The way Richmond has treated Collingwood today reminds me a lot of the way our game against them went on ANZAC Eve earlier this year. Close for 3 quarters until the 4th when they blew us away. Richmond are a fully awesome side.

    • 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.
