Another bloody mid season rule change : no home ground free kick advantage. ? getting all the 50/50. 

 

Cmon Port. Big second half coming up.

All square.

 

Saw four examples of the so-called 'holding the ball ' rule: all against Port  in the last ten minutes. Three of them were blatantly in Port's favour yet called Play on. 


Gil must have planned in a Richmond vs ..... GF

Dear Simon, please take notes on what it takes to play wet weather football. 
move the ball forward at all times, do not over handball, keep it simple. 
Thanks.

Gee Dusty just turns up his game in the finals. 

Shows up for 5 minutes a game. Big impact  player, but overrated. Hate the way the commentators and media froth over him whenever he is near the ball, despite rarely getting involved.

Jonas, Rozee and Wines all having good games for Port. No one of note from Richmond. Hard to fathom how they’re in front right now!

Hope Port haven’t kicked this away. They have missed at least 5 gettable goals. 3 didn’t even score behinds.

At least it is close. Be nice to see a draw and then port lose by a point on the final siren. I can then watch all those interstate filth supporters whinge.?

Feel like Port aren’t really taking their chances and as mentioned above don’t know how to play wet weather footy.

Watched a great pre-game analysis from Ross Lyon and one of the key points was about Port not turning over the footy to Richmond in the corridor at half back, yet Port keep kicking there and I’m waiting for it to all come undone unfortunately.

Yep, they did. 

I just realised at the final siren how jealous I am. Why can't we be playing in a bloody grand final.

 

Oh Port just faltered in a prelim. 

Richmond's defence was very good and they didn't allow Dixon to impact at all. Port just seemed to lose there structure and continued to bomb it in allowing Nankervis to mark it.

    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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
