Watching the Roos ... talk about a rabble.  I know i know they're mostly young rookies give them time blah blah.

But it's like watching a VFL team vs an AFL team

    Thought they would be better than they have shown so far.

    There are quickly becoming three groups with Hawthorn, North and Eagles at the bottom. Probably six teams at the top and then the rest in the middle.

    I usually wait till the mid season bye to assess relative merits. The big disappointment of our loss to the Lions was that it definitely brought us back to the pack. Long way to go though

    Every time I watch a game at GMHBA I wonder when we are going to get $500 million to build a stadium at Casey that accommodates 40,000 people, of which we allow only 500 opposition supporters?

    No club has the deal Geelong has. Even the interstate clubs. All the catering rights, all the super box revenue all the ground advertising. The list goes on. And to think they pay a pittance

    North wearing black armbands in memory of the mum who died yesterday in the Bondi stabbing attack, Ashlee Good, who was the daughter of former North player, Kerry Good. Tragic.

    Geelong kick the ball 8 metres and it’s called a mark. 

    That rule is the most inconsistently adjudicated law in our sport.

    The whole thing stinks. It’s the biggest advantage in the AFL, and by some margin.

    North just should have gone to the Gold Coast. This is a long term disaster, with 2 new teams coming in. How are these 3 bottom teams going to improve?

    AFL this is on you….

    They may well be a rabble but I reckon we could slot Harry Sheezel into our 22. Absolute star who I probably think goes under the radar.

    Eagles will be priming themselves for this one

    It is beyond tragic ... RIP Ashlee and the 5 others who were murdered.

    Her 9 month old daughter was also attacked, but thankfully survived. But she will grow up without her mum. 

    • Good's nine-month-old baby was rushed to hospital on Saturday and is now "doing well" after hours of emergency surgery, her family said in a statement.

    It is beyond belief that this happened.

    The media will be in hysterics over Geelong’s 5-0 start but it’s worth noting that their opposition has a combined 5-20 record.

    They have Brisbane and Carlton coming up.

    It's called a "clean stadium". Melbourne still waiting for just $1 from the State Govt/AFL.

    • 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.
