Two frees to sydney inside 50 not paid. Unbelievable. 

Actually, totally believable 🙄😡

    I never used to hate the Dogs but gees I’ve grown to really dislike them. Bont the one shinning light. 

    Very much the same here, always had a soft spot for them, but am just completely over their relentless pursuit of free kicks!

    Regardless of the outcome of the match tonight, I'm still not overly convinced of the credentials of either of these sides. 

    The (likely) result has cemented that the Dogs are the biggest down hill skiers in the league. Most of their players are frontrunners and frankly they're a bunch of prima donnas. 

    Sydney have a lot of talent but are young. I suspect their season will be up and down and whilst they'll make the 8, they have a while to go before they seriously challenge.

    Don’t get why people hate the kid. His hair? 

    he goes hard and is a great mark and kick. Tries to get in defenders faces which is his job 

    Would love to have him at the demons

    He has a lot of talent - but absolutely bends the rules. Flops on the ground, in the air and generally dives the moment he feels contact. 

    Worse, he then celebrates his ill gotten gains (goals) harder than most celebrate a running team lifter. Over the top and ridiculous. Does it for non goals too - a teammate makes a run of the mill tackle and watch him bounce around with fake bravado and joy. 

    if he concentrated half as hard on his game and role as he does on geeing himself and others up he'd be an even better player. 

    Case in point - in all his crazy enthusiasm he tried to mark that ball on the goal line in the 1st QTR of the GF. Was going through for a goal - a crucial, grand final first quarter goal. He was so excited he genuinely stopped the goal and damn near knocked himself out in the process

    Sydney forward line totally dysfunctional - Dogs not much better.

    Why players take a bounce two steps after receiving the ball is beyond me.

    Coz its ingrained from under 10 footy

    Bont is a star. The Dogs are unimpressive though. 
    Marvel is their comfort zone. Shame you don’t play there when it counts.

    And the dogs win the flag! Oh, it's only round 3.

    Swans absolutely s**t the bed. I'd be filthy if I was a supporter and had to endure that ball use, it was beyond embarrassing. Given the seniority of some of their players, I would expect a lot more against a maligned side like the Dogs had tonight. 

    The Dogs were lucky to win, but no doubt they'll get their tails up with some manufactured and over-engineered "us against the world, the AFL hates us, blah blah blah" rhetoric.

    So the swans are pretty average. Smashed in contested possession and tackles, inside 50’s etc.

    AFL hates us except we always get the softest frees paid in our favour. 
    Absolute sham the way their games are umpired.

     No they weren't. They were unlucky not to win by 40+ points. And I don't like them

    • 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.
