The ads are nearly as bad as the commentary. 

FMD, how many betting ads are there these days? Disgraceful

Go back 3 years and Dusty would have torn this game to shreds. He is starting to warm up, but looks 4 or 5 games away from doing what he can do.

Both midfields look so pedestrian and workman like, but with no excellence, or burst away player. 

I am a huge fan of Charlie Curnow, but he is playing a very Sam Weideman ish game - getting to everything but not completing a mark, or a play. 

Cotchin is shot. 

Shai Bolton - yes please. 

Yeah great call about Dusty.

The pressure isn’t off the charts and like you said, 3 years ago he would probably have 2 goals and 3 goal assists by now and Richmond is up by 30.

 

Blues still in the sheds it seems

He could still explode this year but I’ve always felt Curnow is very inconsistent. 
 

He has the potential to dominate but it feels like he goes missing for 2 games at a time then explodes and kicks 5.

If it’s not ‘his day’, he’s a middle of the road forward. 
 

As much as I hate to say, when Hawkins has a terrible day, he’ll still be involved in at least 2-3 goals.

Prestia is killing it. Unfortunately he us dishing it off to Taranto who can't kick.

He must’ve heard you, Dub

Maybe we should have a game day thread for all the games lol

Tigers defence non existent 


Carlton has defended well. Something very familiar about their defensive structure...

 

How has no one fixed McKay's ridiculous kicking style yet?

  • 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.
