Can someone please tell Bruce to shut up!! He doesn’t have to repeat everything twice or keep asking rhetorical questions. 

doesn't he??!?

cracking first half of footy

 

Watching last night and tonight... we’re a mile off competing.

I’ve loved watching both teams at stoppages, the amount of blocking they do to support/release their teammate is fantastic.

Just shows how easy we could make it for ourselves with Max and our Mids with some quality coaching.


Great 1st half. Would not write off Richmond yet. Maturity of the lions will be on show in this half. These 2 make port and geelong look ordinary.

Collingwood won't go out in straight sets.  They'll only play (lose) one match.

Agreed!

 

On the subject of Bruce - what the [censored] is a "hat trick" doing in the lexicon of our game?

@Rab D Nesbitt?

@Skuit?

@Wobbly Bob?

Gents, doyens, pedants,  is it appropriate language?

A dusty martin turnover! That never happens in finals time.

Yeah, I know, but you know what I mean.  


Well done Lions. Have applied enough pressure to allow the game to be decided on talent...and they have plenty.

Tigers have won a lot of games by pressuring more than their opponents...the Lions wore it and look the better team on pure talent.

Will take a huge effort from Richmond to win from here. 
they can’t take a mark up forward tonight. 
 

No Lynch

Gee Brisbane missed 2 easy shots in the final minutes. Hope they hold on. 

But it is good seeing the lions fans back at the gabba making lots of noise. 

Lions just left the door ajar at the end of that Q, should have put at least one of those opportunities away.

Hope it down't come back to bite them on the a...

Don't ask me EO. As soon as I discovered Brayshaw was commentating I turned the sound off on the macpro I'm intermittently watching it on. If somebody has scored one though they usually get to keep the match ball once the game has finished. Don't know if that'll catch on in the AFL however. Maybe CH7 could get BT or some other donut to present it in the rooms after a game. 


Lions seriously at risk of throwing this away with 4 behinds in a row.

How depressing to think us and Brisbane were both bottom feeders not long ago... look at them and look at us. Good coaching is just so important. 

 

10.9.69 to 8.6.54

Horribly irrelevant fact but that was the exact score that we beat Hawthorn in June 1989 out at Princes Park. Massive win by the boys at the time.

    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.
