Pies very good, Dogs no so good.

Tiges arrogant and lairised, Carlton average & let off the hook.

    The Pies have a strong side.  The only real weakness, apart from them only having the second-best ruck in the league, is their lack of a real tall forward.  Not that we have on either, but if you had to pick a weakness I'd be looking there.  Great medium/small forwards, but Cox isn't the answer for the FF spot.

    doesn't need to be; just needs to be 6 foot 11 and kick straight! 

    they've still got treloar and stephenson to come back in, and unfortunately for them their langdon looks like injury might curtail his career

    pendlebury has been such a brilliant player for so long now

    hard not to see them in the top four along with tiggas, meth coke, and gw$ - that sort of win against a potential finals team gives them a juicy percentage boost to start the season too

    Here is a idea why don't the broadcasters use CGI and make a crowd for the tv audience

    What a complete joke. There is still tackling and body contact in this sport ( although no where hard enough for what we have been used to ) but when they kick a goal they elbow tap one another and after the game they lightly tapped one another with fists. Am I seeing things here ? What an absolute f#^%@$g joke. Monty pythom could not have scripted anything like this.

    Is this really going on? I haven’t seen anything from the two games so far. I’m guessing players have their own personalised water bottles out on the field as not to share.

    It never ceases to amaze me that the Dogs lost their elim final last year to GWS by 58 points - just 8 points less than our loss to WC in the prelim.

    Dogs didn’t get a whisper from the media about their pathetic effort. Meanwhile the media labelled out performance a crime against humanity.

    Dogs are overrated.

    Dogs were just awful.  Bontempelli completely taken out of the game by Adams.  Johannisen  unsighted all night.  Macrea not much better.    If Wood and Keath weren't there to hold the defense together, it would have been even worse as a result. 

    Bruce is overweight, and why they recruited him with Naughton, Lloyd and Schache there already is hard to understand.

    They could splice in crowd scenes from the chariot race in Ben Hur.

    Best way to beat the dogs?

    Put in a extensive amount of physical pressure on Bont and watch him go to water. His prelim last year was the same.

    Bont is a good player, but until he deals with this, in no way should he be in the same discussion as Martin, Fyfe, Dangerfields of the game.

    Jacob Townsend anyone?

    Was screaming for his recruitment and Essendon have landed a beauty for absolutely nothing.

    Has everything you need in a Forward, can take a mark, kicks truely, applies tackling pressure.

    Currently tearing Fremantle a new hole as we speak.

    Can't believe people were so quick to dismiss him. #Insane

    Can someone explain to me why Brendan Gale, Peggy O’Neill, and Eddie McGuire were not in attendance at their respective games but Alistair Clarkson was at today’s  game because he’s playing Freo next week.

    Thats what you call taking the urine Clarko.

    What purpose does a President have being there? Eddie gave his ticket away regardless.

    Clarkson has a purpose so I don't see what the issue is here.

    Hope our forwards are watching the frees being given in front of goals not to mention that if you are a forward you can throw the backman out of the way and not give a free.

    Two or three that went the Bombers way decided this game

    Can not get over how bad the AFL website .  Just wow.  The Match Centre is so bad

    And to think of all the extra traffic they will be getting to see that mess.

    I thought Clarkson being there was crap on the optics and didn’t need to be there given the current climate.

    But  we’ll agree to disagree.

    It seems Adelaide’s magnificent ex leader missed an opportunity to snatch the game in the dying moments. ??

    • 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.
