Sounds like a few Freo fans there surprisingly. 

There'll be a few who live in Sydney and get to go to 1-2 games per year.

It can be a bit hit and miss, but I really like the way GWS play under Kingsley. But is it GWS are better than I thought, or Freo worse? Freo's worst is weak at the contest, poor decision making and sub par skills. 

Their next game is against us - hope they’re not fired up when we meet them in Alice Springs in a fortnight.

 

It's going to be hard to get rid of the dangerous tackle. I thought the Giants player held the guys upper body down to the ground but there was still a sling motion and his head bounced. It's tough.

Their disposal is just a bit sloppy

And they are being slaughtered in centre clearances.

It was like 88% to 12% time in fwd half GWS way.

Lachie Whitfield’s dangerous tackle will be looked at I reckon.

Tackling is a lucky dip these days. That’s a shame really.

Yea but looked similar to L. Berrys'.

I reckon there's about 8,000 at the Giants game. Not too shabby for a plastic team playing an interstate opponent in a graveyard time slot in the @rse end of nowhere. 

Ah. They just said in the commentary that thousands of kids got in free (no doubt accompanied by their parents). Who knows, maybe if they started paying people to come they they could push through the 10,000 barrier. 

My 11yo daughter, whose passion for the game is limited to how good their songs are, is with me barracking for GWS (the best song excluding 'Red and the Blue') to avoid hearing Freo's song (something worse than being forced to eat all her vegetables).

I always play the songs loud at the end of games.


Toby Greene is one of my favourite non MFC players, absolute gun.

At least 1 week thank you 😁


Only negative for GWS is Cadman has done bugger all.

And another is Bedford hasn’t kicked a goal for my multi 

 

I would be happy to give Freo their picks back if we can have Andrew Brayshaw, he is carrying them today.

  • 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.
