Chol is playing very well for the suns. He's been a good pick up for them

Clearly enjoying not having to play 3rd/4th tall. Casboult has been very handy as well - limited player but doesn't lack effort

    Wonder if he'd like playing 1st CHF in a top team?

    Would need to get Melbourne-fit first though.

    A couple of unanswered goals is all the need to put Pies out

    Its only one goal to replace them.

    Looks like 2022 Saints is what everyone was expecting in 2021. Paddy Ryder is just such a game changer for the Saints. More than a little happy to see the Blues go down as well.

    In a few minutes, we will be the only undefeated team after the first four rounds………. and  we are yet to get out of second gear!  It’s a long season, but gee, we a are a class above right now!

    Makes our modest win over GC in oppressive conditions look better now. GC are a very good side at least early in the season and at home.

    Don't like getting ahead of ourselves but it really is ours to lose.

    Did not see those last 2 games results coming. I gave the saints a chance but to win by that much is great. 

    At least we can look down on other teams now

    So ... Demons win. Check.

    Geelong win. Damn.

    Pies lose. Check.

    Dons win, just. But in a way that has their fans spitting chips. Pass mark.

    Hawks lose. Check.

    Blues lose. Check.

    I rate this weekend 8/10

    I can't get this comment from Goodwin out of my head after the win at GC.

    Are we seriously just riding games out to preserve our bodies?

    I'd say so. Our more chaotic / high pressure style is unsustainable week in week out for 4 qtrs. Looks like if we get a comfortable lead we're content to park the bus.

    It was the same as the game against Melbourne. Once the sun goes down at this time of the year the ball is like a cake of soap. That combined with the natural fatigue late in the game.

    Percentage can be built by keeping the opposition scores low. If believable what he said we must be the only side that are pacing themselves on game days. We did have 2 short breaks and perhaps a wise decision to not run ourselves into the ground like some other clubs have already done. Defence uses less energy than offence.

    Ryder bump very similar to the one May got pinged for in his preseason game for us - should cop a week

    shouldn't, and shouldn't have. He  stopped and the "victim" cannoned into him.

    • 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?
