    absolutley hawthorn. The thaught of piffing out geelong and hawthorn in the finals is orgasmic. Richmond, melbourne, sydney and wet coke are my tips.

    Almost a change of the guard type of thing

    easier to envisage Hawthorn going out in straight sets than the Tiges so am hoping for a Tiger victory tonight....

    Very poor weather here in Collingwood (I work about 1.5km from the G). Pouring rain. Grey skies.

    Sadly this should favour Hawthorn.

    Never mind. The rain stopped and now there are some blue skies in patches #straya

    This is Melbourne, though Jaded. So wait another 15 minutes and it should be raining again.

    was hoping for a decent downpour... the gardens certainly need it.

    Seems like the rain belt is going around the edge of town.

    Couldn't care less who else wins.

    So long as Dees win, i'm happy.

     

    I agree but if do get through the chance to send hawthorn out I straight sets would make my year :)

    I'm sick of Richmond but I hate Hawthorn.  We'll most likely have to beat both to win the flag.

    Somehow I'm as tired of Richmond winning premierships after one, as I was of Geelong winning them after 3.

    Strange that I've grown to really dislike Geelong only in the time since they became zombies - marching on into finals every year but not really alive. Entitled, arrogant, sooky, soft-cheating zombies.

    Hawthorn I've never much liked, the only thing better than beating them next week would be beating them in the grand final.

    Y'know, for all that, I think I've joined the 'don't much care, just bring 'em on' crowd.

    Richmond by 67 in Martin’s 200th.

    GWS by 3.

    Pies by 17.

    How good would it be knocking out Geelong and then delivering Hawthorn’s straight sets exit? This is the stuff of dreams.

    Smoke dreams would have us waving goodbye to the cats then the hawks then the pies and then the Tigers...now that’s a September to dream about Nash

    how so? surely tigers smalls and the pressure the general team provides would win out against the foot skills & two rucks that the hawks have?

    Don’t really care about other results. Except, prefer Pies to beat Eagles so we get all four at the G, should we be good enough. 

    Cats, Hawks, Pies, Tigers.

    Slaying that lot is what dreams are made of...

    Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
    So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
    I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
    So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
    I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
    I wanna really, really, really wanna injury carnage for the other 6 teams....

    I can’t help but feel that we should be playing tonight, and I think we’d be a massive chance to roll the Tigers if that was the case. 

    Hawks

    Dees

    GWS

    Pies

    Cant wait.

    Hope the hawks in tonight. Im looking forward to this game tonight and seeing what plan Clarko can come up with. 

    If they are playing both Treloar and Goldsack then good luck. Treloar I get bringing him back but gee Goldsack is a risk. only 6 months after a knee re construction. Anyway I hope the pies lose.

    Collingwood looking desperate with those inclusions. Eagles should be able to run over the top of them in the second half.

    • 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.
