Wow, have West Coast diminished since 2018. They are making Freo look like a top side. I have never really rated NicNat as highly as others but he is way, way beyond being match fit.

    What’s happened to Walters? Couple of years ago AA. I remember 36 touch 3 goal games. He’s not that old. Only 31yo

    Gee I thought he finished commentary years ago, never notice him. Maybe because I watch all games on Kayo.

    I do not think I have seen a side handball as much as west coke. It's like watching Benny Hill.

    The top teams at international level are. The Sheilas have good technique with the bat and the fielding ( particularly the Aussies) is good.

    The bowling can be wayward but some of the spinners are very good

    "It's all going to start in the mid-field BT. Whoever gets it out of the centre will have first advantage. So both teams need to make sure their mids have come to play Brian."

    Feels like Josh Kennedy has been around forever. Probably coz he has. One of my fave non-Dees players. 

    FWIW WCW, I know someone deep on the inside at WCE. He is probably the most highly regarded player internally over the last 20 years.

    I’m not surprised. He seems that way outwardly. It’s always nice to hear it confirmed by someone in the know. 🙂

    • 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?
