To borrow a line off the great commentator Peter Landy:

If someone said at half time that Hawthorn would put 94 points on Port you’d probably call the police on them.

    Final quarter of Port/Hawthorn has the mood of a carcass being slung onto the hook to bleed out post-slaughter.

    Next up, Collingwood/West Coast. Basically pushing the whole pig directly into the bacon slicer.

    An afternoon of football.

    I love the psychological impact of this on Port. It just asks questions of them. Allowing 11 goals in a quarter and a half.

    Very entertaining reading Port forum post Hawks game.  

    They've gone completely ballistic at Hinkley. Hawks allegedly kicked 9 goals in 12 minutes !

    I find that hard to believe.

    I'm expecting nothing from the Eagles. It would be good if they could soften up the pies, inflict a couple of injuries though.

    Reminds me of that scene in Saw 2 with the pig sluicer…

    De Goey might get a fine if it’s deemed low contact??

    Not a chance.

    Any concussion, mutiple weeks.

    Let the ball pass him, elected to bump - and flushed his shoulder direct into his cheek.

    Text book.

    No concussion and he still gets a minimum one, maybe two.

    • 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?
