I think the Blues have gone backwards. They look appalling and will struggle to get into top 8 again.

Norf will have at least 6 wins this year and as much as 10 with a few upsets. I don’t think they are going to be walk overs anymore.

    If umpires paid the first free kick they saw, they'd make life much easier for everyone!

    North keeps responding. They're made of sterner stuff this season.

    It'll be difficult for them to win though. Larkey clearly hampered so no focal point in their forward 50.

    North's guernsey not good

    It’s a baffling choice. If you enjoyed watching in black and white you’d be rooted.

    It is my independent and disinterested opinion that the umpires have been very generous to the Blues this arvo.

    Two frees to Curnow were barely discernible and Mackay's goal (their 4th I think) came from him pushing his opponent in the back (two hands!) and out of the marking contest.

    Adjuciate correctly and the Blues have at most 2 goals to half time.

    I saw a Carlton player throw the ball 25 metres out from Norf’s goal. Blues are getting a fair run at it

    Saints have the best draw. 16 games in Melbourne. Last 5 of the season at Marvel.

    Well at least it is interesting. Not good quality though.

    I don't care how much North have improved if Carlton can-not win today they won't be playing finals this year.

    Come on North.

    I’d be losing my soul if I was a Norf supporter this umpiring is absolutely one sided. They have kicked 4/5 last goals from extremely dubious decisions. 
     

    And Watson trying to justify the decision is like salt in the wound.

    • 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.
