This will be a percentage boost for WC despite the result

Sydney- a massive percentage boost lost. We somehow stay above them on the ladder which is a little bonus.

    Carlton shooting for their first ever Adelaide Oval win. Meanwhile we’ve just cracked 12 wins.

    Collingwood supporters and the media claiming they have the best NON SA team record, but I reckon 12 wins is better than 8.

    The thing is, Carlton is 0-7. 

    They’ve only played there 7 times. Ever. 

    We’ve played there 19 times. Almost three times as much. 

    How the [censored] does that happen?

    That’s because you can do simple maths. You are overestimating Pies fans here.

    I reckon Freo will get up. in good form abs defence solid

    I haven't done the maths but I'm guessing that a high scoring close game would see us stay top on %, at least until tonight.

    So we’ve played more in SA and in Geelong. Exactly where does Carlton play it’s away games… asking for a mate.

    I really don’t rate Carlton.

    Hold McKay and Curnow and they don’t have much.

    Cripps gets a bit of it but his disposal is ordinary

    It's a tough watch.
    Abit like watching us without Gawn, Petracca and Oliver.

    I must be on my own on this forum as there’s plenty of other posters who don’t rate Carlton.

    I seriously rate Carlton and have them in the current top 3 seedings.

    They have every position covered with star material all over the place. It starts with their “Steve May” (Weitering) down back and ends with the two best key fwds in the league.

    Unfortunately they also showed that they could handle the big MCG finals moments which will hold them in good stead in September.

    (Hope I’m wrong and they cop a loss today)

    Freo are about 13% higher than us right now.

    I suspect they stay ahead of us if they get the “W” in a low scoring affair.

    Pretty good effort on their behalf.

    Plus the AFL are desperate for them to win the flag. 
    They are in prime position to win it. They still have Walsh to come back too. 
    Definitely a big factor in the flag race for mine too.

    Yep. Good call about Walsh. Absolute gun.

    He got them over the line against us last year.

    That throw was disgustingly obvious from Cripps. Give them the flag now if that's what the umps are going to allow this year from Carlton.

    • 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.
