    Eagles are down 12 players due to covid?!?!

    So Emperor McGowan hasn't banned Covid out of existence over there in the Hermit Kingdom? ðŸ˜±

    Several Geelong platers have "clearly shown displeasure" when penalised but no 50s like in our practice game v Carlton.

    Even handedness or softening in interpretation?

    Do Geelong know this isn’t a final?

    Geelong just look so slow, as in their finals of 2021.     And pretty undisciplined as well.

    Geelong are so good to watch. Said nobody ever.

    Swans look the business so far. J Cameron Justin just hasn’t been able to make an influence in his time at Gtown.

    Considering all players would be triple vaxxed why are they being knocked so hard?

    I know of a doc who hit the kerb falling from his bike whose helmet split open  but who only had a mild headache.  He would almost certainly had a severe head injury, quite possibly death. 
    I certainly wouldn’t cycle without one. No guarantees but it helps. 

    I had the same experience.

    Without the helmet it would have been a fractured skull.

    Surely players know they can rush a point in that scenario??

    and always to the dogs!! 

    There was another one paid against Hickey and I still can't see why it was against him. One player don't jump as high and he's getting the Free. Look out Max.

    I am well over 50 and my kids tell me I keep banging on about certain BS, repeating myself over certain things. Well I'm going to do it again and hopefully not annoy all my fellow Demonlanders.

    Heeney is a gun. I reckon he is the cleanest player in AFL bar none.

    I'm not watching the game but I see 14 scoring shots to the Swans and 13 to Geelong.
    They must be getting it up their end at least.

    Sydney are a quality side. Geelong needs to bugger off. I’m sick and tired of seeing the same bloody players doing the same bloody things. 

    AND they only play well ONLY at Jeelong Moggie house for decrepit old and unloved dussies , but exchange the d for a p weak as footy team

    WA has a very narrow definition of a 'close contact':  15 minutes if both not wearing a mask.  So most of the players probably don't have covid but are caught under that definition and have to isolate for 7 days.

    It can happen over and over again to WA teams.

    • 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.
