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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
