I just watched the last 2 minutes on the AFL site. What a bizarre ending! What the actual …. was that Power player doing when he hit the Crows guy to give the free away, and then the kick was way off line and then swung against its trajectory to go through. You can see a Power fan go up when he kicks it and then slump down in his chair - that’s how off line it was as it was initially kicked. Such an odd end to a game.

Port had so many chances to ice that game, but didn’t. 
incredible…

Was listening to Triple M on the drive home, Bernie Vince & Co were going bonkers at the end. Bernie was actually great to listen to.

Just watched the highlights etc... of the Port v Crows game

  • Showdowns are great to watch, and this one looked like a great game of footy.
  • Some of the Crows young players really stepped up which might see them emerge from the bottom of the ladder. Might. At least they have a new benchmark. 
  • Power played some good footy but don't seem to have a match winner or big moment player. But they seem to lack passion and intent which are usually two of their strengths under Hinkley. 
  • That was a brutal incident, even though the contact was not head high. So unnecessary and could only end badly. I hope the young fella from the crows is OK. That was his first game back from neck surgery and he went off holding his neck. 
 

Adelaide: whether you love em, hate em or somewhere in between. If those scenes in the coaches’ box, the crowd and the players doesn’t give you the warm and fuzzies, you might wanna check your pulse. You may well be dead.

Came home from the G and watched the last quarter of the showdown. Even with the game in the balance they seemed to be strolling around the field with no urgency. It was a stark contrast to the intensity of the Mighty DEMONS.


Was at the game and had a great view of Dawson kick, one of the best inswinging set shots you will ever see.

Great games to watch as a neutral.

I think the only time those level 2 seats at GWS have had any @rses on them was that prelim against the Dogs a few years ago. 


Did I just see that Tom Green’s goal celebration included kissing a teammate‘European’ style ie, a peck on each cheek?

I think Derm wants a date with Pruess 

said he mentions how big he is one more time...   

he seems to think it’s hilarious 

I thought the crowd at the Dees AFLW was a bit poor - how bad it as at Giants v Suns!! All you can see is a vast panorama of vacant orange seats, Giants players in orange difficult to make out because they blend in with the seats, and the Suns in an absolute shocker of an away guernsey. Abomination. Add to it Brereton bagging on about Preuss, and as bad as the commentary was in the Casey game, it was easier on the eyes than this.

They're not even GWS supporters. The fire alarm went off in a nearby high rise apartment block and the designated muster point is Giants Stadium. 

Irrelevance vs irrelevance at giants stadium.


I’m very conflicted about tonight. 
On the one hand we have Collingwood going 3-0. On the other hand we have Geelong.

Think Oliver did that last night as well.

I hope Joel Selwood as the record-breaking most-capped captain is given a fitting experience tonight… a merciless hiding at the hands of Collingwood. 

Preuss is a good player but I don’t miss the guy at all, he just reminds me of the dark days.

Now for my second favorite pastime of the weekend: Barracking against the sooks. 


Doesn't look like there's that much of a crowd at the G tonight either. Should suit Jeremy Howe. He used to play for the current premiers apparently.

Yeah, you can't support either team.

Just hope for multiple injuries!

 

Darcy will be fawning over Selwood all game. Already started. 

ps Gawn is already a better captain than Selwood. 1 flag to nil

    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.
