That was a impressive win by the blues.

Collingwood were full strength.

Carlton were missing, McKay, Walsh, Cerra (2nd half), Kennedy.

But they had a 6 day break. A six day break! The nerve of the AFL😂

    Nice win... i told me lil storm cloud and son the Blues were a good chance all week with the Pies coming back from a rare away game (and a biggen at that)  plus a filthy lurgy floating about at their dirty lair.

    They just laughed and thought i was crazy.  Usually they're right of course!

    And on cue Brayshaw starts the interstate, 6 days break, wet night last week narrative 

    Personally, I'd like to hear more of it. The pies def looked gassed - understandable given the intensity od last week, travel and six day break.

    I reckon port will struggle to come up to, though luckily for them the crows are coming of a tough game and a six day break.

    I see the flu excuse is being trotted out by Pies fans already...

    You know what this means don't you, for the media... Carlton will join Collingwood, Port and maybe Brisbane as the only real premiership contenders. Geelong might sneak into some people's calculations.

    Meanwhile…the Jaws theme begins as another contender lurks beneath the waves.

    All good. Premierships are won in September

    Because Kosi and Melksham won us the game last year that basically killed the Blues finals chances

    Didn't they have allegedly have some flu ahead of their loss against us?

    They seem to have a bad habit of getting crook in the lead up to games where the oppo go super hard at them and apply huge pressure.

    Unlucky for them that's what finals footy is.

    Must have also struck them down in the lead up to their two high pressure finals they lost last year.

    Watching the Pies players continue with manic football in the last minute only confirms for me that they risk burning out before the end of September. I don’t care how fit they are, how they play and the number of games they’ve needed to play to the death, means they’ve spent a lot of energy to this point in the season.

    Pies have not a single injury. They have options to manage and rest. They didn’t.
    Cox a total liability and he can’t play with Cameron and McStay IMO. 

    As we know tho, wasting all your energy trying to claw wins from the jaws of defeat every week is physically and mentally taxing.

    Totally agree.

    And they are the hunted every single week.

    Howe up forward?

    They pushed him up forward in the 3rd Q 'bin'...it took Hodgey until nearly half way into the last Q to notice it.

    About the time he kicked his first goal.

    I've always said our expert comments people are the best in the business and really keep us informed.

    Collingwood's disposal was generally atrocious. A good sign of fatigue.

    But I know what shampoo Nick Daicos uses, so if that’s not information for you, I dunno what is.

    So I saw it from halfway through the final quarter. Moore got torn apart from Curnow, port supporters would be wondering how Elliott kicked that goal but misses directly in front tonight.

    A shame port couldn't knock them off last week & bring them right back.

    Anyway it's good they lost. Lets hope Sydney can do the same tomorrow to the bummers

    JB said they're coming off a 6 day break, they are coming back from Adelaide, not Perth or Darwin. it's a 30 minute flight.

    They were just outplayed tonight

    Lots of panic when their backs were one or two out with Curnow. He gets lots of free kicks.

    • 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.
