A few good results would be:

- Saints beat Lions 

- Bombers beat Freo 

- Adelaide beat Pies

    If the Saints can get a W it will help a lot of their confidence, if they can't then they're still just another Joe Blow team in the bottom half of the 8.

    Can’t argue with that at all, I was just looking back through the games, all be it at home bad kicking cost them victory last time they met. Will be a cracking game to watch. Crows have some gun fwds and mids, not sure how their defence will hold up though.

    I don't that top 2 is a realistic hope for the Dees. Lions are certain to finish top 4 by reason of their likely home wins.

    Accordingly, I prefer that teams pushing for 4th place on the ladder lose ... read St Kilda!!

    Oh, wow. Color me shocked.

    Lions look so much more energised this week. So much more run.

    It's like they are a completely different team to the listless lions that limped to loss against the hawks.

    Just an off game last week I guess.

    Glad I backed them

    So based on your theory you can get some serious value next week on Essendon beating Port, Hawthorn beating Carlton and Fremantle beating Dogs. All underdogs. Multi paying $18.

    You might be soon though if the Saints don’t improve quickly.

    That's not my theory behind backing the lions. 

    I knew the lions would be running over the ground in their third game after their bye.

    The lions are a much better side than the sainsts (who, by the by, had their bye three weeks ago so should also not be fatgued).

    And the docklands doesn't expose their lack of pace like the G.

    The lions should have been shorter odds in my opinion - and the main reason they weren't is their post bye performance against the hawks

    I rarely back the win, almost always the line, and my assessment was minus five points line @ 1.90 represented excellent value.

    Similarly, the minus five points line @ 1.90 for freo tommorow night against the bombers also represents excellent value - because they were so poor against the giants due to fatigue.

    In fact it is probably even better value than the lions bet - freo are playing their second post match ground (and like the lions will be running on top of the ground) and the bombers are coming off their bye.

    I thought you were intimating the struggles post bye. Every “fresh” club has lost thus far, including Brisbane’s loss to Hawthorn.

    Those 3 games I mentioned for next week, I’m sure at least one or two outsiders will salute based on the post bye theory.

    No you're right, all are good value because of the post bye factor.

    But what I'm saying is many punters will have marked the lions down because they were poor against the hawks.

    But got the symptoms right, but the diagnosis of the problem wrong - the key factor in their loss was fatgue. Same for freo.

    A good recipie for value.

    Scoring has really started to dry up as clubs have gone to work on one-another’s game plan and strategies.

    • 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.
