    Will this be a draw?

    Richmond a genuine shot at this.

    Yup. Sydney are nowhere near their skill level by foot or hardness around the ball thus far this year. I think they have quite a few players out of form as they’ve lost their ruthlessness or something? They should be a much better team than Richmond.

    We're really getting robbed of having a decent crowd at our game by virtue of it being a double header and the Port fans most likely not being there for the majority of our game.

    Yeah, the crowds at the two double-header’s are going to be very interesting.  Looking forward to hear from those at the ground what it’s like because I don’t think the broadcasters will be very honest with the crowd size, especially during the first half of our game.

    Now that you say that, Because Freo and Suns played at a capacity of less than 10,000, would they get any compensation from the AFL considering they don’t have the ability to pull 20,000+ at a larger ground?

    What I think people are missing  is the fact that this round doesn’t dig into a Port home game. The AFL has said that all tickets to the double header tomorrow have been sold.
    If the majority of sales have gone to Port fans then yes, we could be playing in a not so filled stadium until Port fans arrive.

    I’m guessing each teams’ supporters had an even chance of getting tickets. I’m hoping to see at least a half full stadium for our game from the start.

    Were membership numbers required to purchase tickets?

    Weirdly, Papley is keeping Sydney in the game even though they’re winning

    Melbourne members got an email with a barcode back in December from memory about grabbing free tickets for Gather Round Viper. After that offer I’m not sure mate.

    Agreed. I'm always conflicted when it comes to Papley. I have a soft spot as I saw him play half a dozen games with Casey as the 23rd man top up in his draft year. And he's obviously a really good player.

    But he's also a complete goal hungry team mate who burns the others and he carries on like a total fl*g!

    • 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.
