Collingwood look the goods today. Let's hope the heavens open and the last quarter turns into a really heavy slog.

    They are pretty much just being Freo… look the goods only to run out of puff mid season. I’m half expecting Brisbane to do the same.

    Nah. Brisbane's loss to the Hawks is equitable to our loss to the Crows last year. They'll still be hard to beat. Freo on the other hand just don't have the talent.

    These are the gateway to barracking for Essendon. 🤮 

    OK, that is a bridge too far! Into the naughty corner with you, and come back when you have had a good long think about what is right and true in this world.

    I think you’re probably right re Brisbane, but it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve faded after starting the season well.

    We could hardly have asked for a better set of results this weekend.

    Geez. If we can get up next week Freo could fall as low as 8th.

    It’d mean more if it was round 21 but a gap at anytime is great.

    Collingwood and Hawthorns best is pretty good. Fremantle have been very average two weeks in a row, probably play off the charts next week. But I am not sure they have enough match winners to challenge for the flag.

    Gardiner is a liability in defence.

    With Geelong still being in their alternative universe premiership window they'd be mad not to offer Mundy a 3 year deal at the end of the season.

    Smart move to put Frost in attack. With instructions to do your usual thing and make sure the ball goes through the big sticks behind you.

    Good on him, backs it up with his footy and we need more characters like him in the game.

    First game of the year whereby the losing side kicked 100 points.

    Last year it happened twice.

    In 2000 it happened 8 times in the first two rounds of footy.

    How footy has changed over the last 20 odd years.

    It's very good of our traditional rival clubs to show us ways to beat our immediate challengers Freo & Brisbane. Don't worry, we won't be merciful when it's your turn.

    I hated it, he hasn’t got a humble bone in his body, good club cultures wouldn’t put up with that kind of rubbish 

    And he’s not that good

    I legitimately don’t think he was being a smart [censored], I just think he’s an excited kid. He’s so young. There’s no need to take the joy out of everything is there?

    • 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.
