Gonna be fun to watch Carlton fans' season over in round 1 again.

I am hard on Gold Coast to beat West Coast. 

Cats v Bombers is gonna be a hard watch. I hate Geelong, but who wants Essendon to win?! 

Lions will destroy Port. 

Round 1 always throws up upsets

im tipping the bombers to beat the depleated Cats

the Giants to surprise the Swans and the Blues to get up tonight

No idea who wins between hawks and North. Hawks in a close one maybe

 

Tough tipping round to be honest.

Did get the first one.

    I give Port a sniff over Brisbane despite everyone going for the Lions.

    Port have a fantastic round 1 record including some excellent unexpected wins on the road.

    In a round concocted by the AFL to give every team a reasonable chance of winning it's interesting that Carlton v Richmond is the only "pure" match and even that could be described as close.

    Anyone who picks 9 this weekend certainly has my respect:

    Richmond

    Collingwood

    Geelong

    Swans

    Lions

    Hawks

    Adelaide

    Eagles

    dead-set one of my worst days at the footy ever

    Round 1 2019 wasn't much better.

    We must avoid Port in round 1 at the G at all costs!

    Nobody in the AFL I hate more… but on the other hand it helps Geelong.

    Who was the comedian who tossed the coin? Quite funny I thought. 

    Picketts making a habit of attempted speccies it seems this year.

    Carlton field kicking terrible so far. Cripps and Cerra have butchered the ball under zero pressure

    Martin just gobbed of at the umpire and guess what ... No penalty.. garbage!!

    Chunk doing ok in the commentary. Hard to take Jobe seriously

    • 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.
