Cody Weightman has such sublime skill. His ability to draw the free kick is elite….

    Weightman couldn't throw himself backwards any further. That stuff should start being fined to get it out of the game. 

    McKay got a fine for something less blatant last week. Watching Weightman do that was unpleasant

    Don't know how much the North Melbourne coach is paid to turn up and take responsibility for this but it's clearly not enough.

    I reckon he might be in a fair bit of trouble before years out

    Apart from geelong I don’t thinks there is another team that stages for free kicks more than the Bulldogs. 

    It a joke and embarrassing if u r a dogs or cats supporter. 
     

    God I hate the dogs and cats.

    Just don’t like the way he goes about it.

    Must be the cut of his jib

    Maybe they should use the ‘Precision’ footy, a two-coloured ball might be easier for North to find.

    As much as I dislike the bulldogs free ride with the umps and weightman milking frees, part of me wants to see a game that surpasses our 186 horror.

    If he put in as much effort into finding the ball as he did playing for free kicks, he might’ve got himself a disposal in the GF.

    I thought the same Nascent. I feel guilty.

    Watching the Roos v Dogs is tough. 

    Not pleasant viewing at all. 
    During a match like this, I notice things that I probs otherwise wouldn’t notice. Case in point: North have a player named Atu Bosenavulagi. That’s a six-syllable surname.
    Not including hyphenated surnames, the only past or current player with more syllables in his surname that I can think of is Robert DiPierDomenico. That’s seven syllables!

    Now I know how other supporter felt watching us play ten years ago.

    It's a strange recipe of pity mixed with ambivalence, with a sprinkle of "why don't they just give up and fold"?

    • 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?
