Worst case scenario we are in the eight after the first round.

Might have gone to early.

    Carlton have been building a very good list with a lot of talent

    After 39 years being rubbish, you’d hope so 


    Punt Rd End website should be hillarious tonight. Best quarter Ive seen from Carltank for Centuries

    Nope we have three points on them. Would hate them to have been higher even for only one week.

    Provided Carlton don’t play Essendon next week, I will be hoping they lose something shocking. I really don’t won’t to see them gain too much confidence and seeing and hearing their supporters tonight just reminds me how much I hate them.

    Well that was interesting.  Carlton are clearly still lacking in some class and execution under pressure, but their workrate and contested work was first class.  They were the width of a post away from blowing that game right out. 

    Also, good on their fans for singing the song like that when they won.  First time in a decade they've won in round one and they deserve to celebrate it. 

    One thing for sure - they won't get 28 frees to 20 next week - they play the Bulldogs.

    Dustin Martin looks cooked. Down rated to good ordinary player.  Richmond can’t play tempo footy.

    • 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.
