Poor footy. No intensity at all. For round 1 it is a bit strange. Saints have too many players missing. Brad Hill looks like a disgrace out there.

    St Kilda's missing Ryder, Billings, Geary, Jones, Hannebery (but lol does he ever play?) and Clark.

    Collingwood is at full strength I believe.

    Makes a difference, but still, St Kilda don't look very good at all.

    Saints have a game plan? Not really seeing one.

    Won't have a coach soon enough if this garbage continues.  Ratten would be odds on for first coach to be sacked this year.

    No resistance at all from the Aints.  Still, will over pump the Magpies.

    Great fixturing for Friday night round 1, Gillon.

    32 inside fifties to the pies. 

    21 scoring shots

    wow. 


    What an amazing turn around.

     

    Cmon Saints, do it for Warnies family (and for all others, the joy it will give us seeing the Pies supporters get their hearts ripped out!)

    I said earlier the Saints have zero small fwds and it holds. Not having a dig but I hope Higgins has been finishing his VCE/getting an education/setting himself up post footy as it’s coming fast.

    How did Warnies' be daughter allowed to barrack for the pies?

    Gee tuned out of the 3rd quarter because I thought it was game over. Checked the scores and will be watching the 4th. Come one saints. 


    How's the messiah Daicos going?

    This is turning into a really good battle of the cellar dwellers. 

    Happy for Jack Hayes. But not nearly as happy as his mates in the crowd. 😁  Not sure that’s even possible.

    I don't know which is more impressive. His game or the bowl cut / mullet combo he's sporting

    I’m just here for the Mason Cox fashion show. 
    Loving the matching knee high socks and elbow bands. Chanel is turning in her grave.

    Looks very green

    How did Higgins miss that. King will hopefully find his kicking boots in the final term. Turn the behinds into more goals.

    2 Flags against interstate Clubs, with an incredible run of Home games at The MCG and 1 against the ageing Handbags. 
    3 Flags, good luck to them, they are in the cabinet, but I don’t consider it a great Dynasty

    How was Hawthorn any better then Richmond if you say that Richmond won theirs against interstate teams?

    Hawthorn won all their premierships against interstate teams.

    Such a meat and potatoes game this. Close, but meh.

    He’s a “cult hero” apparently 🙄

    Been around for five minutes and already he’s a cult hero. At this rate he’ll be “a legend” before the end of this match.

    Hawthorn won theirs while the rest of the comp was hobbled by the compromised draft with the introduction of both GWS and GC IMO.
    Meanwhile they cherry picked clubs filling their needs with player looking for "success". 
    Found themselves in the right place at the right time.
    Similar story Geelong.
    There's a reason those 2 were on top so long.

    • 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?
