    On the other hand nice that Jayden can sing the song today

    This is the only reason I’m still watching this. But I expect I’ll have to endure the start of Bounce in order to see it.

    I would like to know what their strategy is to stay viable.

    More money from the AFL just like GWS and GCS etc.

    AFL never makes hard decisions just like politicians. Too much backlash

    If it was still Hardwick and not Ooze this would be more enjoyable

    After todays results its hard not seeing North finishing bottom 2 again. I'm starting to feel sorry for them as we know the feeling of constantly losing year on year.

    That’s why Hardwick got ‘tired’ of coaching and left to not be smeared with these type of losses

    It's tough and if it was us I would have been screaming and now I'd be broken. But you're right. 1 or 2 too many teams in Victoria for long term.

    And bringing in a Tassie team kills their Tassie connection, and their sponsorship including the AFLW opportunity.

    I would like to know what their strategy is to stay viable.

    North’s Survival hinged on James Brayshaw having a Grand Solution, where is it? Absolutely non existent,

    now we have 3 sides (possibly 4), who all need top end talent. You can’t give assistance to 1 Club & not the others. 
    we won’t have 19 Clubs for long, there will be a 20th, so the AFL has created a major problem, that I don’t think it saw coming 

    I don’t know the answer, but North staying in Melbourne has really given them a headache

    GWS and GCS make sense as money pits though. They serve a purpose to grow the game in regions where they need extra media exposure. Being a two team town creates a local rivalry which makes the competition feel legitimate too (ie not a Vic comp with a single local presence).

    Pumping money into North doesn't serve that purpose at the moment, and North must realise it isnt a viable long term solution.

    Banking on the AFL being too weak to make a real decision is a short term solution based on current management,they must know things could change in an instant.

    Getting back to yesterday's results, I see that Carlton fans were visibly rocked by that close loss.

    A moral win by Port as they don’t have Maynard.

    Ugh the cheek. 
    Welcome to our world, Vossy

    While he can’t publicly bag the review system or the umpires, Voss is clearly spewing about the Owies (deemed touched) goal in the third quarter…

    You didn’t have the benefit of seeing what happened, huh Vossy. Well, try having the benefit of seeing what happened and still getting stiffed. That’s so much worse. Everyone behind the goals at last year’s semi had the benefit of seeing what happened when Caleb Marchbank didn’t touch the ball. Hurts when the shoe’s on the other foot, doesn’t it?!

    Been away all weekend so catching up on some Kayo Bites. 

    What a win that was from Adelaide! Very very impressive and good on them for not giving up.

    North should head to Canberra. Along with adjacent areas of Southern NSW (traditional Australian Rules Football territory) it has a population base possibly larger than Tasmania. Playing a few Northern Territory games could also be an idea.

    GWS playing some matches in Canberra just dilutes the push into Western Sydney IMO.

    He could need more roughage

    Perhaps Metamucil?

    As bad as Hawks & Tigers are, they have HUGE injury lists so there is no way to accurately assess them. 

    And as bad as the Roos are, I'm not getting sucked in at all. They are doing exactly what Clarkson did at the Hawks in his first 2 years and with his track record the club will just wear all the carp. The current difficulty is, they don't have a Buddy Franklin and they need 2 large backmen.

    North should move to play at Geelong. With the population growth happening to the West of Melbourne, Geelong, and Surf Coast it makes a lot of sense, and also…

    It would really annoy Geelong, and that’s always a good thing.

    In that universe,  how funny would it be if the Govt mandated that they share Kardinia Park 50:50 with the Cats due to the significant taxpayer funds thst have gone into its development. 🤣

    • 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?
