     couple of upsets are on the cards

    I reckon the dogs will get up tonight.

    Carlton a real chance against GWS

    and the bombers are now without McGrath, Francis, Shiel, Hurley, Caldwell. but still should beat the Hawks

    First two agree, and i also agree with the other, but add Hawks could have their team of the Century playing TWSNBN and they wouldn't be "allowed" to win

    Bulldogs have to prove they can take on powerful clubs in hostile environments. Big game for them tonight.

    I Know its counterintuitive but huge Demonland support needed tonight for the Dogs. If they beat the cats then our earlier win against Dogs becomes a sort or 8 point game for the cats loss in chasing us, and sets up the end of year clash also as a true 8 point game for us.  I know it helps the dogs get closer to the Dees , but gives good separation for both of us from 3rd spot, then keeping at least second is in our own hands if we can beat the Power in a few weeks.

    Absolutely agree. It's totally irrelevant having separation from 1st to second but hugely important to have separation from third.

    Tipping 3 boil-overs this week in Dogs to beat Geelong, Carlton to beat GWS and Hawthorn to beat Essendon.

    Be fascinating to see how much ‘noise of affirmation’ 7,000 people can bring in Geelong, and the impact it has on the men in green.

    Also, I hate Geelong.

    How TF do Geelong keep staying top after 16 years?? They are Manchester Utd of the AFL

    Carey reckons Selwood is up there with the best captains of all time. My bollocks! He is a great player no doubt but how many flags has he won as captain?? Zero

    he walked into one of the most talented lists in history.

    This game is a challenge.

    Cats win puts us back on top but my wrath towards geelong has me confused.

    The ...cats...have won ninety out of their last 100 games at the cattery. Wow.

    But maybe going back to second place is what our team needs after most of them stank it up big time v the pies.

    But the cats with their firepower are a huge threat to the flag and we have shown we are not so beatable.

    Mmmmm.

    Hope to see a good game tonight. Gee conditions will be nice and cold sitting there in the crowd. 

    Hope the hawks can beat the bummers, giants blues will be interesting.

    Anyone know how many AFL teams train on the ground they play home games on?

    I’m guessing…

    Geelong
    Brisbane
    Suns
    GWS
    Eagles?
    Swans?

    Who am I missing?

    All this talk of protecting the head - the commentators seem to praise Selwood for “an ear massage”.

    So the VIC government are paranoid about having crowds at games. And when they finally do allow crowds they put 3,500 people on each wing with absolutely no social distancing.

    Makes perfect sense.

    Like everything we hear  “based on best medical science” - please explain. 
    Could easily have twice (or 3x)  the number with distancing.  But that would be far too logical and liberating.

    • 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.
