Did anyone see Big O’s goal soft called a behind by the umpire as touched, but despite inconclusive evidence, the ARC overturned it? Funny how things change…

    It wasn't inconclusive. ARC said you could see gap between ball and fingers, it was conclusive.

    Do the dogs look like a team that have a burning desire to play finals to anyone?

    Look like a team expecting an easier game, reminds me on the 2017 game against the Pies.

    That's right.

    But it was more luck than good management, in the sense they were lucky they had a decent angle on it - the Fox coverage angle I'm guessing.

    It was just as likely for there not to be an angle, or frame good enough to over rule the soft call.

    And the point would have stood, as it did for tracc's goal.

    But you were posting about McInerney’s goal tonight and that was conclusive.

    Hate the cut of their jib.

     

    But hate most things about that club, hate the petulant coach, hate the entitled players, hate that they have been kissed on the proverbial with father sons, hate that they have been given hundreds of millions for their oval that's not an oval, hate the super soft draw that they are given each year 

     

    Generally don't like that club

    Hate it. Attempt to make their traps look bigger. Aka the “Dorrito” look to those in the gym scene 😜

    …. hate the way at least 3 Cats players appeal for a free with arms out every time there is a contest.

    Damn Adelaide is scarred 

    Players are humans. They must feel really flat and unmotivated after last week. Nothing to play for.

    Crows embarrassing, west coast could yet pinch another win

    Adelaide probably aren’t in the head space to go 100% rat power to win a dead rubber after the injustice of last week.

    The way West Coast and North keep giving each other pick 1 makes me think both clubs are going to get exactly what they want with their respective first picks.

    • 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.
