Cats can’t get it into their fwd line at all, Pies helped by favourable umpire decisions on around their half back, but gee the Pies play fast

    I could only listen to the game. In my opinion Collingwood is a serious contender this year.  I hope I can say the same for the mighty Dees around this time tomorrow night. GO DEES!!!

    Did you seriously downplay the Pies for this season, layz?

    Most I know were predicting at least top 4 ... they are probably the most skilled team in the league and are getting better

    The Kings Birthday clash will be an absolute ripper.  But who starts favourite? 

    I had them in the 8 Macca. Great unit across the board and I think their back 6 is among the best but they still have a lot of their best players over 30. Not sold on Cameron holding down the ruck spot for a whole season yet.

    Good side but was expecting a step back this year.

    Pies will be a real threat this year. We already can’t beat them at the best of times…

    Scott thought he could beat them in a shoot out. Next time they play you can bet they’ll play that horrible slow keeping’s off stuff instead.

    Their run last year was tremendous.  Their ball movement from half back through the middle and into their forward line is something a lot of other teams can learn from.  Precision skills

    And they are quick   The Daicos lads don't get tackled (for instance) ... just like their old man!

    They are a team we need to get past if we're going to salute

    So without kicking a ball in anger yet we’re now equal premiership favourites on Sportsbet and TAB.

    Not sure if UK bookies follow their Aussie counterparts in setting their odds but I jumped on the Pies at 5.0 with the Cats just 3 goals up from fewer scoring shots. Feel dirty but that’s tomorrow’s beer paid for!

    We've had our troubles with the Pies but we can beat them.  Don't ask me how, ask our coaches and our MC!

    We're going to need a good plan as it's hard to get the ball off them when they're firing.  And a lot of their scoring opportunities emanate from half back with continuous possession

    It seems I have greater faith than you in the Dees. I base this on knowing that we learnt much over the past few years.

    For instance: how to beat Geelong when it mattered after countless painful losses: round 23, 2021 to take the minor premiership. Smashed them in the Prelim 2021 also. Won the Premiership in 2021. Apply the same to all comers this year including Pies and with ordinary luck/injuries and we'll have every chance to take anybody anytime.

    Bring on Kings Birthday. I can't wait to see the Dees take the Pies on.

    • 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.
