Should be a good game tonight. I reckon the return of Toby will ignite the Giants and bring St Kilda back down to earth. The sainters have been getting a bit ahead of themselves

    Have picked The Aints tonight, but who knows which way it could go. 
    If Tobius is involved early GW$ could decide to play

    A few 'season defining' games coming up this round. 

    Geelong and Brisbane with the easy wins coming up is annoying.

    Fremantle v Carlton seems the most interesting match of the round, Freo should be too good over there.

    Tipping that umpire disrespect will kick the most goals this week.

    @Sir Why You Little, do you recall an Ess/filth  Anzac Day clash some years ago  when 2 players went down, I think in the first quarter, with serious knee injuries?

    Yes i do. One was an Essendrug Ruckman…

    Like the Giants tonight. They were pretty competitive for fair chunks of last week.

    Saints are being written up as a possible flag winner. GWS massively underperforming.

    Pity that Hogan is out. Adds a little more interest to the game. Of course there is Preuss who I don't think I've seen since he played for Casey.

    If GWS kick straight (ratio of around 80%) they might surprise.

    Hopefully we're not switiching to netflix by half time

    Think Saints should get up, they are up and about GWS aren’t.

    Dogs, Port, Freo, Lions, us (despite mfcss), Swans & Filth in the battle of the WGAF.

    Cats of course

    The young ruckman, Flynn, that played for GWS last week was very good. Played better than Preuss ever has. If it was my choice i'd play Flynn again

    I remember watching Flynn in his first game. ( Has he been out injured? )

    He will be a gun player.

    The Giants all walk taller with Toby in the team (no pun intended)  He doesn't drop his head or give up and that sends a message to his team mates.  Plays for keeps.  

    He's a bit of a product from a bygone era but there is no denying he captures an audience  But can he not cross the line? Does he need that edge to his game in order to be at his best?  In my view, probably

    The game should be a good start to the long weekend of footy ... the 4 FTA games should all get a big TV audience

    Our game is quickly becoming a standout blockbuster (as long as the crowds are maintained), the ANZAC day game always has a great atmosphere and the Freo/Blues game on Saturday evening might answer a few questions

    I’m giving GWS a massive chance. Greene completely changes their side. 
    I still don’t rate St Kilda.

    He will probably give away a few 50 m ps with aggro at umps.

    I think Toby G is a remarkable talent but he really is a dirty player at times.

    This round always makes me sad about lost loves and proud to be an Australian.

    I'm sure we all share sympathy for Ukraine. How much they would like to stop the death and destruction and enjoy a simple game of sports.

    • 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.
