    What deciduous schadenfreude if both Tigers and Blues were to miss the finals by half a game.  🤗🤗🤗

    So an earlier than usual seasonal demise for both clubs, Autumn?
    As Mel Brooks might have intoned…

    “Tigerland is happy and gay, we’re playing to a faster pace, look out, here comes the tigers down the race.”

    “I was born in Rathdowne, and that is why they call me Bags, don’t be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Lygon Street party.”

    Homesick. His family are down in Geelong. Makes Luke Jackson homesickness seem feasible. At least his family are in a different state

    Not a huge fan of GFC but I really hope they beat Collingwood. The less games they win the better. It would be good to start the weekend with a pies loss.

    Also I hope they get smashed in the ruck & pies fans are miserable about the club ditching Grundy.

    You're certainly a nut job picket - no doubt about that.

    However, I do agree with your opinion.

    Round 1 has now become a contrived 50/50 round with roughly equal clubs pitched against each other.

    Not sure what people think but to me it robs the regular season of decent matches when teams are more settled

    I find a good Scotch or Canadian Club can sometimes fix watching teams I hate. And I really hate these two.

    Pendlebury just handballed over his head to a Collingwood player who didn't break his stride (Hoskin-Elliot?). Hate the pies but can't help but admire Pendlebury.

    Do yourself a favour and open another bottle, life is too short to drink ordinary Shiraz.

    • 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.
