Same desperate need for a hairbrush.

    Interesting game. We shall see if the bears can play 4 quarters. I hate girlong but not writing them off yet though.

    Geelong need to settle down and not get sucked into the fight. they are getting enough field position to be much closer than they are

    I've been in favour of keeping as much distance between ourselves and the interstate sides in order to avoid an interstate final but tonight I wouldn't mind seeing Brisbane win just for the hell of it. It might seem unlikely but who's to say another mini covid outbreak in the metropolitan area won't see a final where Geelong are the higher placed team being moved down the highway to get a near capacity crowd.

    Have to hand it to Neale. I’ve never been a big fan but his shoulder is farrked and he hasn’t complained, still copped the main tag and has made a big difference. Real courage and toughness

    James Brayshaw the worst, most boring bloke on TV

    Brayshaw is the second worst. BT is the worst.

    Unbelievable home team favouritism by umps AGAIN. 

    I hate the cats but the lions are getting the absolute run from the maggots.  
     

    Cats get it at their home. Eagles are definitely another team that gets the extra benefit at home from the umps.

    Our run home : 

    Bombers MCG

    Giants MCG

    PORT AO

    Hawks MCG

    Suns MS

    Dogs MCG

    Eagles OS 

    Crows MCG

    Cats GMHBA

    4 tough games against top 8 sides still to come, I forgot we played the dogs again.

    In short I would love a guaranteed top 2 spot locked away before rd 23.

    At least BT generates excitement, even if he is a [censored]. What’s with Brayshaw’s awkward minutes of silence

    Yep, it would essentially be like having to play an extra final at the cattery in round 23.

    A nice Covid outbreak in Geelong only prior to round 23 would be handy ?

    Good practice leading up to the finals all being well.
    May have to play the Cats in week one of the finals but at least if we did it’d be at the MCG ?

    Be careful what you wish for. The Labor government would s4ite the bed and lock us down for a month and cancel all finals in Melbourne.

    24 free kicks each. Did you miss the 9 straight frees to the cats in the second Q to try to get them back into it?

    lions overall probably getting a better go with the umps but hardly unbelievable favouristism. The Lions have smashed the Cats, gone harder

    If you were just looking at the stats for this game you could be excused for thinking the scores would be flipped. Geelong are leading in nearly all the key stats

    Yes!  I was trying to think who he reminded me of. You are spot 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.

      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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
