One quarter into this game and it's become VERY obvious that neither Richmond nor Carlton are going to do anything of note this year. Way off the pace compared to these two.

 

Good game. When is age going to catch up with Pendlebury, he’s a freak.

He’s not playing anywhere near as much inside footy as he did earlier in his career, so he still has a couple years left in him yet

 

The standard of footy tonight is terrific. Two Top 4 teams for sure.    Max Holmes looks a beauty.  What could’ve been.

Anyway it’s such a contrast to last night’s fumblefest.   Enjoying this entertainment.

 

GARY ROHAN having a day out......

1 possesion at this stage

What a stellar player he is

He was Swans best player in last years GF

Why do they insist on calling it an underground handball?

just as I'm reading this he takes a contested mark and goals. 

 


Gee whiz not sure we'd deal with the attacking threat (or replicate it ourselves) of either of these teams 

How did so many of their toe rag fans get into an away game?

If Voss is watching this game he may want to revise his statement that the Boos and the Tiges will be thereabouts at the end of the season.


This game is a class above. Both these sides look set for a top 4 finish. 

Hope these mounting injuries aren’t somehow related to the newly laid turf post the Ed Sheerin concert…we play tmrw night

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.

Did you know he played basketball before football?

You should have seen what he could do with a ball, before he started playing footy.

Maybe playing basketball before football has prolonged his career

This could well be a grand final preview and I wouldn’t be surprised. The skills are unbelievable.

    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.
