I think if there is one team that can beat Brisbane up there it's Port.

    I'd like to see a Brisbane win (and us obviously). That'd force the pies to have to go via a prelim vs Brisbane at the Gabba to make the GF.

    Outside that, my other preference is a 1 point Carlton loss by a kick after the siren that is touched on the goal line but incorrectly referred to video with the umpire's call as goal, where the video evidence is inconclusive because Charlie Curnow had run back into defence and did his lamo bicep curl fist pump blocking the camera's view.

    I hope Port and the Lions knock lumps out of each other. injuries left right and center.

    Do not want to see Carlton win. An agonising loss would be best.

    Would like to see the Saints get the win but i think GWS will be too strong for them.

    It's a good place to be.

    And when all is said and done no-one cares who was 1st in the finals experience ladder.

    GWS should easily beat the Saints.

    The others are genuine 50/50 games with Lions shading Port simply because of home ground advantage. The same for Carlton over Sydney

    I think Having actually done it recently is a great advantage. Port, Collingwood & Brisbane haven't made a GF recently. If we hopefully make it I think it would be a big advantage on the day.

    Many Coll players were there for the 2018 GF. 

    They will be fired up if they make the GF...make amends for that loss from that freak goal...

    ...the 'colliwobbles' got them again!! 😉

    Weitering could have decapitated a player and would still get off. Doubt he will get anything more than a fine for this one even with the Carlton Lawyer on call.

    If he somehow cops one week at the MRO he will definitely get off at the tribunal even if they send in the work experience kid.

    Must be about time for the MRO to announce its decision on this

    No case to answer. Well a fine yet Bedford get a week for less than Tom McCartin last week.

    Do Carlton ever get on the wrong side of a tribunal or MRP decision that results in a suspension?

    No.

    Gil's wet dream is a Carlton Pies grand final, and he will do whatever he can to make it happen.

    Based on the boundary umps work the past few weeks maybe that what they have been practicing for.

    • 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.
