    It goes against the natural order of things to cheer for the Pies, but I keep on having to remind myself it's in our best interests

    Somehow I have a soft spot a mile wide for the Doggies, probably because of 21 and my boss!

    Wow the Pies really commit the entire team when they attack.  Haven't really seen a team play like this before

    Turn it over and you have a goal.  Naughton was on his own earlier with only Quaynor within 20m

    McCrae could be the new Hardwick. It's stubbornly taken me a long time to acknowledge them but they will win 2 flags at least i reckon

    Having said that - they are not unbeatable.  and have clear vulnerabilities

    The one week you want/need Collingwood to do you a favour 😬 

    Pies need to ditch Ash Johnson before he single-handedly loses them a final. Not the smartest of players.

    pies conversion a "disgrace" in near perfect conditions for a premiership favorite, 28% 🤷‍♂️

    If Pies lose tonight they’ve lost to 3rd, 4th and 5th on the ladder. 
     

    Speaks volumes.

    Put that in your pipe and smoke it Mason.

    Meanwhile the Doga have been outstanding in their forward conversion and connection since 3 quarter time of last week.

    Dogs moving the ball well. They've built into the season nicely and are a big chance of taking the final top 4 spot.

    The dogs are having about a million shots from the pocket and nailing all of them, so we'd better be able to do the same on the same ground in 24 hours time.

    Ugal-hagen is slowly emerging as a star of the comp.

    Fabulous work ethic. Multiple leads high up the ground and doubling back occasionaly for a few inside 50.

    2nd efforts and some great passes inside.

    Imagine moving the ball with such precision and then nailing shots on goal. 
    What a dream 🙄

    Just don’t understand watching both teams fwds leading & taking marks vs ours running away from the ball carrier, and sharp passing no long bombs

    Not to wish ill on anyone but Jack Crisp needs to miss a game someway or another sometime soon. He’s creeping closer to Jimmy’s record. 😡

    Yes!! I actually feel bad for being sad when I see him get up sore from a contest and then just run it off 😅

    Yes.  Has struggled with goal kicking up until about half way through this season.  Now appears to be turning the corner.

    His attack at the marking contest has gone up a notch as well.  No doubt more confident in the body as he fills out and gets stronger.

    • 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.
