We are in front, showing up the Lions defence. Getting beaten around the stoppages, and groundball in defensive 50 is a huge worry so far. Great to see Bowey step in for last 5 mins at ground level. Cover Cameron, we win.

If that chaos ground ball [censored] continues Cameron will kick 7! Not sure why we are fumbling in those 50/50 forward pinballs by them? 

 

Tighten up defence at their forward 50 stoppages and we’re in business.

    Probably nerves and it is wet. 
    plus Lever is not great at ground balls. 

     

    A bit more free flowing than I’d like. But a lead is a lead.

    That the move was made from Salo to Smith was a no brained. Salo’s a playmaker, not a lockdown defender.

    Lets get this done!

    Win it in the middle, I don't give a stuff who Cameron's direct opponent is.

    If we can transplant a footballers brain into Smiths head, we’ll win this comfortably. Defense is struggling when the ball hits the deck, as Smith and Rivers are losing touch of their men. Tidy that up, and we’re sorted. Our forwards look dangerous tonight. 

    Stop! Please stop. 

     

    This game being played on Brisbane s terms

    That was generally a good first quarter but here's my question: can someone please sort out Charlie Cameron?

    And Rich and Neale

    Could be the making of Joel Smith tonight

    Nice Fritta!!!

    A lot of talk about Smith. Rivers made bigger mistakes in that quarter

    He’s playing alright, despite those who have a clear vendetta against him

    We're looking more reliable going forward. Fritter could have two. At least he has one. Brown providing a fantastic target up the ground and inside 50.


    Love the composure from Fritsch! Wasn't indecisive in playing on. Took it back and dobbed it. Good headspace Bailey.

    Clayton Oliver superb so far. His field kicking has been exceptional

    • 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?
