Seeing quite a few tackles where the ball is knocked out but no free. Do only Collingwood get these?

Saints having a crack but lacking class.

    Kevin Rudd was PM when Daniel Rich won the rising star. How is he still playing??

    The HtB last week was a disgrace 

    Much more reasonable tonight I think

    Solid contributor. Brisbane is made up of them. Reliable down back. Not sure he's finals material though.

    I really hope the Saints get up tonight.

    That was HTB against viney and hibberd last week.

    Saints could surprise... with luck

    And as I post Lions get a last minute goal to put them back in front

    Harmes has to come in to tag Neale next week. Keeping him quiet goes a long way towards beating them.

    Cameron goes to ground with ball, taps his face to try to get the umpire to pay a free rather than punch the ball away and then eventually punches it. Presumably it wasn’t paid holding the ball out of sympathy.

    C'mon Saints, if they do is a favour tonight and we win tomorrow top 4 would  basically be a lock .

    I think he is trying to worm his way into the periphery of the UN in New York - but I agree he shouldn't still be in the game.

    Tuned in at the 10 minute mark of the first quarter and within 10 minutes witnessed at least 3 Jamie Elliot tackles and guess what they were all “ play on”! FMD it’s a joke.

    I guess Crouch thought that it was now OK to bump in the head - but, Mr Crouch, you are NOT a big name player so prepare for the rebound and exaggerated wrath.

    How was Starcevic not in the back against  - karma bit him and hurt his shoulder though.

    And isn't  Zorko a little sniper?    I really think that the repetitive cheap jabs to the guts and ribs should be stamped out - report for striking.  Any repeats -> suspension.

    • 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.
