Aliir showing what happens when you don't drop intercept marks in the backline. 1st and 2nd quarter dees last week had a lot of trouble because of dropped intercept marks.

    Well if we win and Cats lose we will likely meet them in the prelim! We have to beat them 3 times unless they go out in straight sets!

    Straight sets is the goal

    I despise that cheat. Hope a Port player knocks him out. 

    But that’d only put him outta commission for 12 days. I’m hoping for a season-ending injury AND for him to be knocked out. That’s not asking too much. 😁

    Aliir is the best intercept defender in the comp. Lever's numbers are better, and his ability to help set up is better, but we base our entire gameplan on that aspect of the game. Aliir does it in spite of Ken Hinkley having no idea how to use him.

    The umps being sucked in by Geelong playing for free kicks. 

    Allir is brilliant and the Cats are playing him poorly.

    Once Port get it past half forward thy look dangerous.

    Why did the Swans give Aliir away?

    Can we woo Alir? This guy is an athlete!!

    At least 2 goals to Port direct from Aliir intercepts. Geelong need to keep it well away from Aliir or else they have no chance.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
