GWS get their revenge for last year’s grand final and Tigers in a bit of a post premiership slump not helped by having some injuries and players missing from their hub.

    North on its last legs for the season ...perhaps

    Down by 4 goals in the wet against Carlton at quarter time

    Norf are absolutely terrible.  Watch them do everything they can to throw ungodly amounts of money at players who don't want to come or to those who don't deserve it.

    It's great to watch, even if it has to be Carlton beating them.

    Yet they are every chance of winning.

    And that’s a reflection on Carlton. They dominated possession and kicked 1.5 to 3.0 and it could have been another goal and the ¾ time lead to North but for an act of stupidity by Pittard.

    Pittard what an idiot. His teammate is going to have a shot for goal after the siren to potentially put them in front and he comes in and pushes the Carlton bloke over for no reason. 

    Carlton had so many inside 50's that quarter. Should be well ahead.

    Yep shouldn't have done and it was stupid.

    But Murphy flopped like he has all throughout his career.

    Was a joke of a free kick but evened up for the soft one Bailey Scott got for his goal just before it.

    c'mon the future tasmania

    As much as I hate Norf, a little trip to Carlton Big Footy after a choke would be a nice way to kill time

    Hard to watch with the umpiring in this game. 

    Yeah but how good watching fans lose their marbles at decisions. Someone let us in please.

    Geez. Even the umpires couldn't get North over the line. What a bog ordinary outfit they are.

    Maybe we got too excited last week?

    Hawks are rubbish. 
     

    guess we’ll find out tomorrow night

    They were terrible ...they allowed us so much space and time.

    The GC game was a better test and revealed our skills under pressure as being scrappy but we got the job done.

    Mind you the modern game makes most teams look scrappy.. See GWS

    Very, very sad to see Hawthorn like this?

    Just watching Clarko’s presser and I’m stunned that he opened by saying he was pleased with his players’ endeavour. He emphasized it again a couple of minutes later. 

    Sorry, but there were a few players in brown and gold who showed very little endeavour at all.

    Also had a go at the umpires. Poor form when you lose the way Hawthorn did today.

    • 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.
