    Noticed on last nights Fox AFL program, video of Freo training in Cairns and the dogs on the gold Coast.

    Hoping the acclimatisation helps Freo, and the dogs do a FIFO on Sunday.

    Dogs fly up Saturday. If only we were allowed to do that.

    No excuses, but zero doubt that heavily disadvantaged us. We looked sluggish the whole game, question for me is why didn't we fly with Freo straight after their game so that we could at least have the day to prepare?

    Eagles have no desire to win this one.

    Plane is probably warming up already

    Imagine Luke Mcdonald and Jack Viney competing against each other in a drill. It'd just be two blokes running around in circles trying to get on their left

    Don't get it.  Don't they (us, God willing) have to travel to Perth?

    They were rubbish tonight. Couldn’t kick 50 points against the second worse team in the comp. Have injury concerns, Kennedy, Shuey, McGovern, Yeo. Natanui is almost ineffective. Ryan is the only match winner they have. Not going to win finals with that.

    And no, it won’t be us. It will be the Dogs, who will run rings around them.

    Displays like the one tonight are not good for the game. Found myself dripping off to sleep from half way through the third quarter. Only just woke up.

    WC choose when to play.  they just did enough to win which is all they needed

    they will smash whoever they play in 2 weeks.  time to get their injured players right

  • Quote

    Gee West Coast are suckers for the injury at the business end of the season. Not that anyone here minds too much!

  • Quote

    The giants need to play high risk footy with attack being their main priority and have almost a selfish mentality. Given their personal I think they will relish being able to play like this.

    Tonight will be a shootout, I think it'll be a 6+ goal loss either way. Not sure if the Saints have the depth in goal kickers to keep up with the giants if their mids get on top

  • Quote

    Pumped for the game tonight. should be a great game with both going in hard. I reckon the Giants will get over the line with Green, Haynes, Whitfield, Kelly, Cameron, Williams, Taranto and Coniglio just too much class.

    don't know how I'm going to handle lockdown when the footy is finished.

    Agree ... I think GWS will win. 

    Having said that, I doubt that we will overtake the Saints percentage, even if we win.

    Giants need % so they will be hungry. They’ll do the job for us

    • 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.
