Iā€™m in Perth today and have a few hours to watch the footy. Anyone recommend a great pub in the CBD to watch?

    Bizarre for hawthorn to be playing in tasmania at 3.20. It'll finish in the dark.Ā

    I hate to even think it, but Mitchell has the young Hawks well drilled and full of life. I can't believe I like watching the Hawks play, but their system and dedication to it is clear for all to see. Love that Newcombe in the midfield, and Frost would be very hard to cover in the forward line. His kicking might become an issue though.Ā

    Frosty!!! Looking good as a forward.

    I love this move from Mitchell.Ā  Hey it may not be a long term option or very effective other than as a one off surprise tactic but i'm almost certain the Brisbane brains trust wouldn't have covered this in their pre-game analysis and strats.

    And who knows.Ā  You just never know what the outcome will be with a move like this until you trial it.Ā  Unlikely i know but Frosty might have missed his calling and this might become a permanent option if it works well enough.

    I still remember Frosty bombing a goal from 50 in a QB game for us. His crazy kicking looks a lot better whenā€™s heā€™s kicking at goal.

    Hawk win would put us two games clear on top. So go Hawks.

    One of the rare times for me also

    Alot of youth & inexperience in this mob but there's some great spirit amongst them and they sure have a red hot go

    So many people saying we would lose to the Lions right now. After watching the first half versus Hawks, I cannot see them getting past us too easily. McCluggage is being tagged in the 2nd quarter and their drive has almost dried up.Ā Ā

    Anyone who says GWS are doing a better job against West Coast than we did needs to look at how many goals theyā€™ve conceded to WC. Double the score from last week already.Ā

    Clearly below average teams shape up decently against top sides.Ā

    Helped by really good umpiring

    I withdraw that comment after that ridiculous free kick paid to Prior.Ā

    • 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

      Itā€™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 Ā 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 measlyĀ 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?Ā  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.
