    Maybe the AFL can just give us the 4 points after initially taking it away from us last week.

    I don’t care if we play to an empty stadium. I hope the quarantine disrupts their preparations. Bring it on.

    Default to us as compensation for the fiasco in Adelaide.  Seems about right thanks Gil!

    Hopefully they all test negative.

    A positive test result would definitely force us into a compacted fixture later in the year.

    Also, because if they all test negative they're not battling a potentially life-threatening disease.

    Highly unlikely anyone would be positive, but it does interrupt there preparation which can only be an advantage for us.

    Clearly this is GOD punishing the AFL for not committing sufficient resources towards quality umpiring.

    • Demonland changed the title to BULLDOGS IN ISOLATION

    They have to do more than just testing there today. Has to be every day for a week at least.

    Embarrassing scenario of maybe the two bottom teams playing off in the GF

    AFL Rule apparently no spitting, talking or breathing during game by Bulldog

    It didn't make any difference to the Swans when they had to isolate nor the Kangaroos.

    We'll most likely be in Lockdown by the weekend at this stage. Games might not even go ahead in Victoria.

    There won't be a lockdown. Games will go ahead. There will be crowds.

    9 cases now. Surely there are no crowds at this point.

    If ever there was a (non health related) reason people need to get vaccinated this is it. Population gets vaccinated, it no longer becomes an issue how many cases get reported. Life goes on.

    • 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.
