Nice to see Thursday night football back.

That Friday night fixture is underwhelming to say the least.

Port v Swans, our game and Eagles v Dogs are all way better

Huge game at the Gabba tonight. Hoping the Lions can get it done. 

Tough game for the dogs v the eagles. I reckon home ground advantage swings it.

We need to account for the dons. If we do there's a good chance we're 2 games clear by the end of the round

Agree - all games are critical but this is exactly the type of game that a genuine contender will win - get it done MFC

 

We want Victorian teams to win and fill the top 3.

Agree

Hate to say it but a Geelong win would be good for us.

A Bulldogs loss is intriguing however.

Girlong ( unfortunately )

Richmond

Freo

Port

MFCSS

GWS

Dogs

Crows ( so we can keeping laughing at the blues )

Lions

Ugh I can't support Geelong. And I really like the Lions. 

Would be great for Dogs to lose as well. Gives us some breathing room. 

I'd much prefer to increase our chance of top 2 - and 2 home finals - than worry about interstaters in top 4.

Never mind 8 point games, this week is a 32 pointer!:mahoney2:

I'm glad the WC/dogs game got moved from a night game to twilight.  its a nice curtain raiser for the big event

I'll be cheering the bears on hard tonight. The Cats are really starting to get my goat

I'm the same, go Lions.

We need to beat the bummers and stop relying on other results 

Masters of our own destiny. We can then sit back and watch the mad scramble below us.

My body is SO ready for a Thursday night footy event that promises to be a great clash. 


A potential new record for "best set of ins" might be set today for West Coast. They've just recalled Jeremy McGovern, Luke Shuey, Tim Kelly, Brad Sheppard, Jack Petruccelle and Nathan Vardy.

YAY! Jason Bennett is in commentary tonight! He’s my fave.

Uh, we have Jack Viney in this week.

Cameron fitting in at Geelong well. Late dog acts off the ball.

Deliberately rode Lachie Neale into the ground.


Dirty, dirty team. Hopefully they don’t bother the scoreboard attendant any more than they are right now. ?

Absolutely loving this game right now. The Lions at the Gabba is the purest football I've seen this year. Melbourne must avoid that visit in finals.

 

Geelong are getting packed (thus far).

Love how the Lions are breaking them apart and exposing them for the pretenders they are. 

How long till that unfairly judged ‘champion’ thug Selwood eye gouges someone?

Brisbane are winning because they have the pace to get to the ball carrier and tackle. That is our strength, even more than theirs. Players like Spargo, Kozzie, Hunt, ANB – all around the ground we have pace. Which might be the selection thinking this week – why Ben Brown is not getting a game.

  • 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.
