    Once again a late call by the ump means we play on and take the “advantage” which turns out to be the opposite of to advantage. FFS I hate that rule

    First qtr thoughts. 
    Trac looks off.

    Fritta doesn’t look like he has missed. 
    we have been sloppy but got better as the qtr went on.

    Going by 1st qtr no idea still why Turner replaced Thommo.

    Melksham and Kozzie look lively.

    I want to see how many minutes Trac has spent on ball this quarter. My guess is less than 5

    This has the stench of the AFL doing everything they can to get a final played in Sydney.

    Yep, there's already a load of smoke beaming up from AFL House.

    Petracca continuing on his poor form from last week.

    He's checked out since Oliver is back, very worrying

    Why not call it back when it’s obvious there was no advantage. Should be in the rule book

    Boweys form not great heading into finals 

    Surely Hibberd comes in for Bowey & Hunter’s possessions are ineffective & his tackles are like powder puffs

    It's a joke. Such an infuriating rule. E

    Often either turns out not to he an advantage, or in the event every just stops, an unfair disadvantage to the team the free has been paid against.

    I wonder when a side will man up after a point against sides, shut it down instead of letting it out.  If you look down the ground after a swans point every player is up around the midfield area, pull players back have less congestion and allow players to run onto it or over the back.

    • 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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
