    What what say. You have almost done it again but I think Geelong rather than the dogs but it might be a draw. Very hard game to pick. 
    doing alright on the demonland list and the local pub as well,  it’s a surprise. One of these rounds I will get 2 and that’s it for the season

    Expect to win again but a hard game. 
    the ground the supporters the umpires

    I did not know there was a double header. No Adelaide team being involved this year makes sense. Would be interesting to see quarter by quarter attendance figures across the day. A great day for a neutral supporter to dip in and out of the football and surrounding parklands/restaurants/food trucks.

    Norwood Oval is only 110 metres wide with completely straight wings. One of the quirks about Aussie Rules is that there appears to be no official minimal standard sized field to play on.

    Yep, aside from our game, the double header is the highlight of Gather Rd from my perspective. Four in form sides.

    I'm going for Freo and Dogs as my smokies.

    It can't be all favourites in Gather Round surely?  Better get that foot ready for my mouth tonight just in case.

    Huge week.  Gather round.  The AFL copy of the NRL magic round in Brisbane.  
     

    But it does spark up Adelaide and gives a vibe.  Trac’s carnival cooking show probably will be the highlight.  
     

    I will kick start.  
     

    The Bloods culture … blah blah blah.  Apparently so revered.  

    So what’s the go with Sam Wicks. And to quote Damo

    ‘Sam Wicks was given a club-imposed one-week break for “who knows?”  Some off field romantic dramas.  Damo correctly states “if he was one of the Swans’ top-five rated players, would he have been given the break? In sports selection vernacular, he was expendable. The break has ended, and no senior team recall’.
      Ah yes.  The mighty Bloods culture is fallible.  

    anyway Essendon Edge on show tonight? Let’s see.

    Just hoping the rest of the games this round are all bloodbaths with every team coming out worse for wear (especially Lions)

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
