    Agree picket but I've got good money hanging on the aints .

    Maybe I can hit you up for a loan since you can dine so lavishly.

    funny side that filth

    • a jumping jack who threw away being a premiership player
    • a very tall skinny blind man
    • and a man named after a bottom who likes to stroll around the streets naked

    Pies by a big margin, pressure is greater, sadly still look a few years off. (Great last words)

    Cox mouthing off against umpires - no 50

    Double standards, maggots.

    filth happy to give up the 5m on the mark behind centre in order for the man ostensibly 'on the mark' able to be moving when play on gets called

    Seen it a bit in few games so far, umpires need to police the 5m though, as often players are just going 2-3 m back

    When are you allowed to run back a few metres rather than “stand”. I’m confused.

    Saints have a game plan? Not really seeing one.

    I'm not sure about that picket but he definitely needs a white cane to complete the ensemble

    Pedestrian first half. Low intensity. We’ll beat both these teams handily

    To think this time last year people were talking up St Kilda as a top 4 side. They're bottom 4 and as far away as ever from breaking their premiership drought

    Their pressure is really down from when they were having a good run in 2020. It takes really dedication and commitment to play a high pressure game style. Dare I say they have the personnel to really burn you on turnover… just lack the intensity at the moment.

     

    Pies v Saints = poor spectacle.

    Pies playing 18 men as defenders who run madly forward and hope someone runs faster than St Kida. No way can they sustain this for 4 quarters. Strange gameplan, a bit like early Gerard Neesham at the Dockers, or Matty Knights when he coached the Bombers. Maybe if they leave Degoey forward it might work, but it isn't pretty.

    Saints are doing a lot right but missing so many targets by hand around the stoppages. Turnovers at half forward are piling up. I reckon they will run over the top of the silly Pies gameplan. 

    But the crossword book is looking good right now.

    • 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?
