Quite conflicted about who I want to lose more here. West Coast look thoroughly beatable playing like this, I wouldn't hold any fears playing them at Optus in week 3. Collingwood at the G, on the other hand, not sure. Hmmmm.

    Meth Coke supporters are the worst in the AFL.  What the hell is with the constant booing?

    Theyve been doing it for years and still dont realize how moronic it is.

    It happens when you are a one team town. Go to a soccer international and you'll see far worse

    As much as I hate the filth if they can get over wet coke then good luck to them. It shows you that the eagles don't have a very good midfield. It's actually not a bad game.

    Looking for a pie win, I think its better that we don't need to travel and we seem to the players to again win at the G with our pressure.

    Its not that wet in Perth, so those slips are obviously from the new grass, maybe not enough depth in the roots yet?

    Also torn. West Coast look more beatable.

    But then, assuming we get past next week I'd love to be at the prelim and love to knock out the Filth

    Kennedy is horrifically underdone, looks shocking tonight.

    Just a comedy of fumbles and errors from West Coast.

    But Kennedy/darling get a game under their belt plus another weeks rest would see them play much better.  

    At this point neither side would not stand up to our pressure (based on last night).  This game is not a intense as ours and tigers game.

    I live in Adelaide I know, don’t see Adelaide teams in the same light.

    Very torn in this game. Just don’t want to hear Collingwood fans up and about.

    Unless you live in Western Australia or you don't go to the footy, why would you want Collingwood to lose? Don't you want to see your team live in a Prelim?

    Not sure why the Eagles are still just bombing it into Kennedy after he hasn't taken a mark inside 50 all match. Such a one-dimensional attacking strategy, easily being countered by Buckley, flooding defence.

    Mmmm.   A very familiar pattern that we saw far too often especially up until about 4 weeks ago.

    But wouldn't be far sweeter for us to beat them than just beating the Eagles .... not many over here to gloat over.

    How was that not a reversal after the late retaliation?

    Collingwood can thank Eddie Betts for that behind.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
