    definitely hoping for a big win by the Toiges.... couldn't stand a Blues team on the way up

    Draw between the dogs and the Pies

    Giants and Saints is the other one that interests me... Go the Orange

    Wouldn't IT be nice if we could open the season with two hot sides such as Brisbane and Port at the GABBA or Adelaide Oval. Or a West Coast V Richmond or Geelong game at Optus Stadium. Something different to the same old same old Richmond/Carlton predictable yawn fest.

    The GWS V St Kilda, Essendon V Hawthorn, Collingwood V Dogs games (and our game) should all be worth watching due to those games being hard to tip a winner.

    The rest of the games on paper appear to be a yawn.

    Hopefully GWS soften up the saints before we play them next week.

    Pies and doggies will be interesting. Wouldn't mind seeing the pies take a pasting and the pressure comes on buckley right from the get go.

    Haven’t made the finals in 7 years - haven’t even been close. 

    I guess the only way is up. 

    looking at their line up, I doubt they will make it again.

    So on the basis we have made it  1 year in ten years means they are  close to us.

    No doubt we have been seller dwellers also over the past decade or so. But in the last four years we have won two finals and missed finals by one game twice. 

    carlton have been 16th, 18th, 16th and 11th on the same time period.
    So not close to us

    It’s going to be sad when they beat us this year.

    Good start to the game. 

    helped by muting Jobe and BTs ‘analysis’ 

    cant wait for Sat arvo!!

    Quiet a fluent game. Not many stoppages. Both teams pinging the ball around.

    If we persist with the high bomb into the forward line Carlton will eat us alive.  Their entire game is built around intercepting the forward ball and fast transition.  It couldn't be better designed to make us look bad.

    Players moving on the mark quite a few times, no free. 

    I bet one of ours will scratch their [censored] and a free will get called.

    Anyone who thinks the blues are not on the up is kidding themselves.

    Even if they fold now, they can see they are capable of matching the best.

    Still feel we are a bit light on for leg speed watching this one

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
