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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
