    Bulldogs have made an art form out of throwing the ball. 

    They've been doing that for years, umpires never pull them up for it

    Why can’t Sparrow be like Smith? They’re different players mate! Jesus

    It is very fair that the Dogs have Ugle-Hagan still to come in to their side. Very fair indeed.

    Well done AFL on running  a very fair competition with a really cool and fair draft.

    so many errors! from both sides really. 

    Just seems like the physical toll of longer quarters shows up in the skills. I’m sure we’ll be the same.

    Good to see all the rubbish new rule changes made to increase scoring are working out well...

    Watching Howe trudge off the ground looking forlornly at the scoreboard. Warms the heart.

    Let me rephrase,  why do our draftees struggle so much yet the dogs nail every pick. Why does Anthony Scott come in play his role perfectly in his first game after getting recruited a few weeks ago yet our second round pick from a few years ago spargo can't even kick further than 30m

    struck me as a 6 v10 game. Pies dropped a few easy ones and Dogs not that impressive up forward after that first 5-10 minutes.

    Season wise probably a little more upside in the Pies... De Goey couldn't play that badly again.

    I disagree.  Our skills are so poor already, I don't think you will be able to see a difference.  ?

    But the doggies look like a pretty good side this year.  They have a lot of really good mids there, and more who can't get into the side.  Their talls are still a weakness, but not as much as it used to be.

    That is a mis truth and you know it Turner.

    If you can't post the truth better not contribute because you don't rate a player.

    Sorry Turner aplogize sincerely but Elegt makes some outrageous statements mostly because he doesn't like the player or disagrees with the Club.

    He made a couple of errors which cost goals.

    Pretty clear that need fwds who can mark & score ., who are ours?

    That's always been the case.

    Fritsch and Jackson and I'm praying to the Gods in Heaven that TMac rediscovers his 2018 form.

    Max can take a mark, kicking is iffy. Petracca will play forward plenty early in the season. He can mark and score

    We've got BB and the Weid on the sidelines. Just need to get them on the park.

    We've got the weapons just need to get them fit and deliver half decent ball and we're a match for most teams.

    You mean like Rivers looking like a 100 game pro in his first season when all other clubs overlooked him in the draft? Or LJ with the potential to be anything, 200cm athletic freak. 

    you win some you lose some in the draft. We have drafted well over the last 4-5 year’s imo

    A player who cannot get on the park is effectively  the worst player on your list.

    Regarding the new 'Stand' rule, I noticed that unless there was a contested mark etc, players either go nowhere near the mark or position themselves on the inside but not on the mark in the place they used to move sideways to. And then wait for the umps to say 'stand'.  The umps never tell them to move to where the actual mark is and then stand.

    Jackson and rivers are both hot and cold, I like them both but all All I wish for is all of our draftees (especially our 1st and 2nd rounders to play their role), seems to often happen in the good teams. You would've seen Henry tonight for the pies who had a mare, I hope jordan has a good crack today

    The old enemy getting beaten warms my heart at any time of the year.  But, especially sweet in Round 1.  Now, the Dees just need to win to make it all perfect!!

    • 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.
