    All Hawkins does is push....every contest

    How unfit are Brisbane, being outlasted by Geelong??

    I about to post that too.

    Constantly diving instead of trying to run through and pick the ball up (Like he used to),  Something wrong with his back and he can't bend?

    Old age.

    Either of these two sides would make worthy runners up this year.

    Neither of them can defend around the ground.

    Frustrating part is a lot of the bad calls made so far this year, the umpires have been in a position to see what has happened and still made the wrong call. 
    Also would love some consistency on players getting caught with the ball then just dropping it cold.

    Excellent result.

    Brisbane are probably the second best side in the league so any loss by them is a bonus.

    i actually don't think they are; they've shown that they win at home and they play well when the game is on their terms, but when it tightens up  they can't quite get it done

    their fixture should help them to top 4, but i don't see them as a threat away from the gabba

    I counted 4 ridiculous umpiring decisions in the last quarter that went to girlong. Just pathetic it was. That Hawkins push really got to me.

    The holding the ball rule did not exist tonight. 

    I thought Mitch Robinson did a few errors in that final quarter. Should have kicked it to Daniher a lot quicker in the final few minutes. also botched a few kicks. 

    But hey we are still sitting pretty on top.

    2nd best based on what? The three teams they’ve beaten this year have so far have zero wins combined.

    Unbelievably biased umpiring at the crucial moments in the last. Hawkins ffs. BT raising his voice in adulation of all things Geelong when they’re in possession. All sadly in accordance with their expectations and, dare I suggest, the script.

    Tonight speaks more about Brisbane then Geelong.

    The fact Brisbane still couldn't beat Geelong without Selwood and Stewart is why I questioned that at the start of the year whether they could win the flag.

    If they can't even perform at the Gabba come finals how will they perform at the MCG in front of 90k come September. 

    These are the games they should have easily mopped up if they want to be a genuine contender.

    Cam Rayner for me is a little overrated imo

    They have 2 glaring issues which they haven’t fixed 

    1- they are incredibly slow through the middle so struggle to cover the ground to defend 

    2- they don’t like pressure

    • 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.
