    Twice (that I have seen) already tonight Reiwoldt at very least "shows dissent" without penalty.

    Have the AFL ever admitted that how they managed to preseason M V Carlton game was over zealous?  I guess they rarely admit they stuff things up.

    I’d rather our “learnings” from this is in a nothing game and let everyone one else learn in season proper

    Dogs now 6.14 to Toigs 9.4

    That is 20 scoring shots to 13.  

    Could well cost them big time.

    A stacked midfield will only get you so far, dogs should be looking to trade out some mids for key position players

    Gotta love watch Pruessy. Copped a late hit during a marking contest. Did the old 80’s throw of the elbow after. 

    from an initial view that’ll be two weeks

    Agreed. Bont for Weideman.

    Naitanui had Dean Cox early in his career too...

    Didn't help as he never learnt how to play footy, where to position.   IN the early days they always had a mic in his ear at training  to try and teach him.  It like comparing Stynes and Naitanui in terms of game knowledge.   In saying that he is the nicest guy and has done really well out of his career.

    No better sight in footy than a torp goal on the siren. The friendly exchange between ump and Riewoldt beforehand just adds to the theatre. Suffer Dogs.

    Dogs have no heart. When things don’t go their way they rarely comeback

    funny that hogan plays against former clubs in consecutive weeks

    i didn't see the preuss hit - was watching the other game - but was it actually bad? high? deliberate? what level of impact?

    They rely on their mids to have a perfect game to win. Means it’s very easy for things to fall apart. 
    We saw what happened in the grand final when our midfield gained control. It was a disaster for the Dogs.

    Massive fail for the Dogs tonight.  Can they regroup with this list and this coach? Not likely IMO.

    Have a look at the afl fantasy points for this game. Show how pointless disposals are if you don't use the ball correctly.

    For a player who get so many accolades Caleb Daniels make a lot of costly mistakes.

    Bailey Dale as well.

    • 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.
