    Nicholls just paid Boak a mark that was knocked out as soon as it hits his hands and the filth player got all ball.

    Nicholls does that all the time.

    Also a master of blowing the whistle to pay an uncontested mark BEFORE player has actually marked it, then paying it anyway or finding some other reason to give them a free when they drop it.

    Dud decision. The guy was right here too. 

    Was a [censored] awful decision. Of course it had to be that moron Nicholls who paid it. Who else?

    And I can't get my hopes up about Fremantle winning because I just know it won't happen... but geez, that would be the highlight of the weekend if it eventuated. If that happened, and Adelaide beat North, every other result becomes irrelevant and the top 8 teams are locked in.

    Would be the AFL's worst nightmare, so rest assured they'll get Geelong over the line.

    How many 7m kicks are paid as marks these days? Anyone else noticing this?

    Freo having a crack, the joy.

    Chrome dome strikes again!

    Yeah would be stupid to get hopes up about Freo. Can still see Geelong flogging them.

    Port could still go out with 2 losses, if Geelong won next week

    Yes! 

    Umpires seem to be getting lazy. Paying marks early, paying short marks, allowing players to run too far without a bounce...etc

    Maybe they should get back to umpiring the basic stuff instead of looking for and making all the dramatic calls

    As long as the percentage is kept down. 

    You’d hope so. Where’s that rain they were talking about?

    Have you been dragged along? Haha. A few dark clouds around by the look of it but that’s it.

    Freo have gone home already.

    I’ve switched that one off. Freo will probably kick 3 more for the day.

    Geelong can't [censored] miss. [censored].

    Cant believe I gave Freo a chance.  They're a joke. 

  • Quote

    Just imagine, we get 13 wins and Geelong knock us out of the top 8 by percentage. Would that not be the most infuriating end to the season imaginable, considering our two losses against the pricks?

    I can't think of any ending more heartbreaking for the MFC, which means it will definitely happen. This team always finds creative new ways to plunge the knife deeper into our hearts.

    Not watching the game, but I'm not surprised. Nicholls is blind cheating scum. How he remains employed is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. He's influenced more AFL matches than the f*cking senior coaches have this year!

    • 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.
