Taylor Adams tests positive.

With De Goey suspended the Eagles might beat the Pies this weekend.

An interesting insight:  McRae also revealed that only five of his players have yet to contract the virus.

    Sadly ... no hope.

    Tips from AFL folk:

    Port Adelaide 2-10 Melbourne
    Geelong 6-6 Brisbane
    Sydney 12-0 North Melbourne
    Collingwood 12-0 West Coast
    Richmond 0-12 Western Bulldogs
    Fremantle 9-3 Greater Western Sydney
    Essendon 12-0 Adelaide
    Hawthorn 4-8 St Kilda
    Gold Coast 0-12 Carlton

    Surprised at the lack of confidence in Richmond, Adelaide and to some extent GWS, and Hawks.

    The result I wish for the most is for Lions to beat the little cats on their own turf.

    Tipsters always play it safe. Generally base their tips on how a team performed the previous round.

    GCS nearly knocked us off.

    Carlton aren't a certainty by any means.

    Like LH I think Hawks v Saints is close to 50/50.

    From an MFC viewpoint a Brisbane win over Geelong is the conservative approach but hell I like being atop the ladder so Geelong to win !!

    Somehow we need the crows to beat essendon, because that would give me a laugh. The fans would go nuts. Walker back helps. 

    Interesting Geelong are resting Selwood tomorrow night against Brisbane. I would have thought you are coming up against a pretty good midfield and would need your best. 

    I know I put it in another thread but why do we have to travel again when some of these teams don't have there first interstate game until round 9 or longer?

    Selwood is now a way from being their best.  They got him to the record # of games as an AFL captain last week so now he gets a rest.  He is their spiritual leader but not sure they will miss him.  Its been a while since he has put in a really good game, let alone a match winning one.

    Scott learnt his lesson last year that his old team will run out of legs.  He is in preservation mode for finals.

    Agreed.  I am tipping Giants, Freo are up and down.  Tigers absolutely have a good chance

    and with Carlton limping over the line against the Hawks, GC have a good chance at home

    3 interstate games out of the first 5.

    What did we do wrong

    If you add up the AFL and The Age Tipsters only 1 of 22 are backing Gold Coast.

    Surprised me a little given how they played at home against us.

    Who ya got this week?

    FPtlD7IVgAIoM-x?format=jpg&name=4096x409

    Geelong but is Brisbane are serious they should win 

    If Sydney don’t win by over 10 goals I’m calling it a loss 

    West Coast are rooted. Pies by plenty. 

    Dogs but it’s a 50/50 at the G

    Who knows. Two teams you never put money on  

    Bombers finally 

    Saints? Could go either way but MCG helps Hawks  

    I hope GC! Time for Carlton to lose

    Have I missed something? Next week's game is at the G right? We've only travelled twice to date.

    Bumping for tonight. Isn’t it nice being able to enjoy the whole weekend of footy basking in a Thursday night victory. 

    Also do we want to the Cats to win t to claim top spot or Lions to win just so Geelong lose?

    Geelong to lose hopefully!

    better than the end of the year...

    I don't know if you've looked at our fixture for the end of the year, but our last 8 games include trips to Adelaide, Geelong, Alice Springs, Optus Stadium in Perth and the Gabba. 

    It will be a fair test.

    Was that another one of the games we didn't get out of first gear ? 🙂

    People have laughed at us for years, came across this and found it amusing. Would love the Crows to beat Essendon  just to see the next instalment.

    • 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.
