Everything Dunstan touches is turning sour. Very much a downgrade on Viney.

    Excellent umpiring decision to pay a free and a 50 for the push and then slow pass back. 

    Rivers is becoming a goalkicking defender wtf?

    Agree RE the umpiring decisions there and about Rivers. It's been a while since we've had goal kicking defenders and midfielders.

     

    The main thing I love about about this team is even when teams bring their best heat, they still can’t score. North’s absolute best, which they won’t be able to sustain, sees them 10 points behind and it should be more. 

    Loving that Gawn and TMac have gone the sleeves in the Narrm strip in addition to the usual suspects. Looks great.

    The coaches will sort out the clearance issues at qt

    Oh well. I'll take a 10 point lead at quarter time. I get that it's easy to make fun of NM but I expect every opponent to be competitive against us.

    Narrm FC has never lost a quarter!

    Did Lever cop a whack to the moosh in that push and shove?

    Totally. North couldn't play much better than this, and we're still impenetrable.

    Not a bad first quarter. Didn't expect much from North but they're having a go

    This game, like this ground, is trash. 
    Let’s get the 4 points, avoid injuries and move the hell on to bigger and more important things.

    God help us if the backline ever decided to take a day off

    But we're not 10,000 points up at quarter time against the bottom side! Lazy players don't care! Waaaa!

    Ignoring the fact that a team with nothing to lose are always going to give their absolute all. We don't need to smash them in the first quarter.

    • 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.

      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?
