    Spargo has started really well. Watching him close up and he’s made some smart decisions in traffic.

    Omac takes a strong pack mark. Hits a target. Rivers than turns it over and cost us a goal.

    Yep, poor kick by Rivers straight to an opponent

    good, he'll learn from it.

    OMac is a pretty good kick, doesnt miss many. Thats not an issue.

    Spargo and Brown playing well. Melksham slotted a nice goal.

    It really is a step up from VFL and although no one is going in very hard, its a good match. Havent seen Bradtke get many hitouts yet.

    If we can take anything from a scratch match, and really you can't read too much into it, there are some positives.

    Rivers, outside of the late turnover, has look good with ball in hand and shows composure.

    Spargo did some nice things and it's good to see him hit a few targets and get to position well.

    Melksham is a cut above the rest but, most pleasingly, is looking really fit.

    Gus and Fritsch haven't had a major impact but will get better as the game rolls on.

    Is there any wind there?

    Slight breeze.  Perfect conditions. Ground in top nick.

    Besides the turn over, Rivers has been good as has Spargo.

    memo to rivers: don't go short back into the corridor from back pocket!

    Exactly what Tomlinson was saying to Lockhart after Lockhart went inboard and turned the ball over leading to North’s first goal. Interesting listening as the North player was lining up. Tomlinson basically told him there was no need to go toward the centre at all. He praised him for the nifty footwork but Tomlinson had led to the boundary and that’s where the ball should have gone.

    If it comes down to a tall forward choice between Brown and Weid, then Weid will need to lift considerably

    • 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.
