I dunno the name of the bloke  commentating with BT today but he sounds like quality.  Nice to listen to zero hysteria

    He reminds me of Sandy Roberts before Sandy lost his marbles in the later years at Fox.

    hard to get over the fact that it sometimes seems like a race call too :)

    I reckon BT has definitely toned down his nutso look-at-me commentary from previous years. Whether it's a direction from the higher-ups, or that brief stay at hospital last year, he's much more bearable to listen to as well this year.

    I hear you, Bingers. I’ve let Essendon live rent-free in my head for decades. Recently a friend asked me who I think I might barrack for if Melbourne ever ceased to exist *shudder* He was shocked when I said probs Essendon 🤮 (Soz reflex action). My logic being: The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Therefore, I think I’d have an easier time converting my intense and undying hate for Essendon into love of a similar degree. The path from indifference to love would be so much longer.
    Hmmmm, maybe I need to see a therapist. 

    Lol- even text predictor knows how much I hate that loathsome pack of ferals…

    Hope Carlton supporters hopes aren't dashed before we get a home game against them later in the season.

    They are coming out of the woodwork that's for damn sure. My uncle has been to a handful of games in the last 20 years, just bought 4 game memberships for his family and went today. Had to let him know it was at the G and that Carlton don't play at Princes Park anymore.

    Now you've said it can't unhear it.

    "They go 'round the wing" was said exactly like it was a quinella of horses being unleashed on cup day.

    I’ll give you points  2 and 3, RTG. But not so much point 1.

    So, the opposite of love is hate. Except it’s totally not. Psychology 101 right there. 😊

    If Melbourne folded I'd be lost to footy.
    Couldn't stomach supporting any-one else.
    Hate them all in varying degrees.

    Fair play to the Saints. They always find just the right mix of overpriced crocks, front runners and mediocre talent that will see them finish mid table for infinity.

    A flag went begging for them in the late aughts, and there might be a fair wait for another legit chance for them.

    Entertaining game between the Tigers and the Saints today though.

    Does BT sign off on Ling’s contract? At least 12 times today he’s said ‘Great call BT’ when literally all he’s done is call the play (his job). It’s excruciating.

    Reiwoldt is out and he needed to stand up.

    • 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?
