General public seem to think so.

Games are [censored] to watch and over umpired. May not be the full extent but its certainly right up there.

The "game day experience" could mean about a million things and umpiring may not even be one of them.

I for one cannot stand any ground which blares music after a goal, or pumps music so loud between quarters that you can't hear the person sitting next to you.

Nothing has been worse for football in the modern era than the concept of "fan activation". 

 

Greedy by Papley there

The De Koning boys are going to fun to watch over the coming years. Both have a great pair of hands.

Sydney choking hard here. Gone inside 50 with options to score so many times but continually kicking to Franklin or Papley when they're outnumbered.

 

Bloods doing everything but scoring atm

I’d say the Blues are choking more.

Even with all the help there (50) & refusal by the umps to pay Sydney a free (had to be a high tackle there surely) in their forward 30 or so the Blues couldnt get the ball up the field and conceded another goal


Come on Sydney. Absolute trash umpiring giving this game to Carlton. Total cheats. 

I would love to see Sydney steal this one, but I also want the blues to win solely for my footy tipping! 

Wow so...

"your tackle is so good Buddy boy but i dont care i'll just drop the ball and i know the ump willl call play on...woo hoo you beauty!"


Terrible umpiring in the 2nd half

But this loss is on Blakey's awful decision there 

Warner doesnt quite cut the mustard at this level.

And Hickey's a bit off the mark at times under pressure.

The Swans bring great effort but have too many gaping holes in their bottom 6

Newman gets caught by Franklin at full back, doesn't bother trying to dispose of it, drops it, play on.

Warner gets caught by Owies with little prior, drops it, holding the ball.

Would be infuriating to be a Swans supporter seeing that.

Although to be fair, they've had their chances and squandered too many of them.

 

these play on calls are abysmal

  • 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.
