I would love to see one of the Richmond players laid out in the second half. Preferably Lynch

    We’ve kick more goals in other quarters against other teams, but that is far and away our best quarter of the year. 

    - we kept the reigning premiers goalless

    - our defence has been outstanding 

    - we have matched and even bettered their pressure

    - Hibberd’s role on Martin has been sensational 

    - Salem is BOG by a country mile

    That was some unbelievable footy. Even if we lose from here, I've seen enough to be convinced we are legit.

    Jackson is sex.

    And 5 years for Salem was about 5 years too short.

    Pretty sure he’s done it before

    Yes he has.  One of the few to keep him pretty quiet when he did but on that particular night he followed him everywhere starting in the centre.  Tonight he's picking him up when he goes forward with JJ, Clarry and Tracc starting on him in a tag team effort.

    Changed our strategy to doing more handballs.

    Giving them no space.

    Taking out their best players.

    We have a fairly open forward line when we move quickly.

     What will the brain trust think of this quarter?

    Gee Tige's make tbe opposition earn it when we are around the ball, mostly line ball I would say. C'mon umpire,  protect the man infront or with the ball.

    So Dusty can be tagged after all. Brilliant work Hibbo.

    History says He will get off the leash at some stage just hope we are far enough ahead to absorb it.

    Good team play. We are asking the questions of Richmond and they are not finding any answers. 

    Will be interesting to see how each team resets in the second half....

    Richmond's first goalless quarter this season. (and since round 15 last year)

    That fact alone is so heartening. This might really be our time. 

     

    The boys look [censored] off, hungry and like they've had enough of Richmond. GREAT QUARTER. Two more to go.

    • 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.

      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.
