Dangerfield pushing his thumb into Gibney's eye was as blatant and as deliberate as it gets.  Dog act on a kid who has played 4 games.

    To West Coasts credit it was only the one really bad quarter that killed them.

    Given WC flew a WAFL team into Adelaide I’m flabbergasted they got within 10 goals.

    Geelong are clearly saving their best footy for the second half of the season, per last year.

    Three more years of Gather Round in Adelaide confirmed.

    Power and Crows will hate that.

    Were other states even considered?

    Opportunity to promote the game in non football states lost.

    i reckon radelayed makes sense... perth is too far away, sydney doesn't give a flying fig, and brisbane is a combo of both

    Interesting to know who made this call, the outgoing CEO Gill?

    Wow, what the hell is the AFL doing? Pretty obviously nothing.

    Growing the game in other states? AFL says meh

    Didn't watch the game but noticed the following stats

    Hit-outs Cats 61 - 31 Eagles

    Clearances Cats 51 -31 Eagles

    Marks inside 50 Cats 24 - 13 Eagles

    Frees  Eagles 22 - 14 Cats

    So the Cats dominated the stoppages and had a dominant forward line but the Eagles were favoured by the umpires?

    #FreeKickEagles?

    Adelaide and Port should be made to play each other from now on in order to nullify the home ground advantage. 

    Essentially both sides are getting one more home game than the rest.

    If contemporary ground staff can handle six games on a wet weekend why can't we train on the MCG?

    Collingwood look off tonight and are missing their ruckman, De Goey and McStay might be out for the game.

    The scary thing about St Kilda is that they’re not even close to full strength.

    Saints look good. Bit like us in 2021. Guys taking contested marks. Manic attack on the ball. Working hard to support each other.

    I thought the idea of Gather round was not to have games at the same time and stand on their own.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
