The loss of Jackson has hurt us!

TDK plays a similar role and I think is even more agile than LJ. Just needs to build a tank and I think could match or be better than LJ.

    Anyone have an idea of the %win rate for teams on back to back 6 day breaks in recent years?

    Carlton are on back to back 6 day breaks next week which surely isn’t a bad thing for us.

    @Bring-Back-Powell against us Carlton will be playing their 5th game in 27 days, we'll be playing out 4th in 29 days.

    Not just epic Daicos, but also epic Carlton defence, or non defence. 
    And why shouldn’t they lose 3 on the trot.  
    I see Colonwood have a freebie next week. 

    They look very shabby down back without Saad at ground level and his occasional intercept marks.

    Weitering VG aerially of course.

    I'm with you on De Koninng but Nick Dacios would improve our midfield easily.

    Ditto.  Very similar traits to LJ at his best but potentially more upside as he gains experience.

    Laughably if Essendon win they will be in the top 4 with a percentage of bugger all, if we don’t salute Saturday night.

    Terrible defending by Carlton to let Daicos kick the winner just let him run through the stoppage unopposed

    Is Peter Daicos the only father of AFL players?

    Huge.  Pies v Blues.  That was pressure.  Finals like. 89000 crowd.  Pies were huge in the contest.  Pressure.  Tackling.  Forward lines were open but the defenders swarmed.  No place for short steps. That was the standard.  Pies will get Mitchell and Degoeeeeeey back. Blues get plenty back in Saad, Marchbank and Martin.  Both will be stronger.  Both are contenders.  Can we match it? Can the Dees bring that intensity.  We did v the Power but not in other games.  We need to be the danger.  breaking bad danger GIF

    What a crappy way to wake up on a Saturday morning to see that the pies won last night 

    it would have been almost as bad seeing blues win   But not quite.

    a draw would have been satisfying

    Saturday morning is one of the best parts of my week. Lie in, brewed coffee and toast. All spoilt by having every media outlet (TV, social media & internet)gushing over everything Pies, Collingwood, and Daicos. Vomit inducing.

    Having said that, yes Daicos can be soft, but he is an absolute gun if you give him a centimetre of space and has a habit of being "lucky" late in games. No luck, simply a very good footy brain and super skills to execute in high pressure moments. And channel 7 constantly showing his dad Peter is excruciating, but he is now a channel 7 person so this is going to go on for some time.

    Is it wrong to want a whisky so early in the morning? I will leave the Dalmore, and maybe go the Monkey Shoulder (best budget whisky in the world). This might get me over all this Collingwood BS.

    Facts.

    And his old man sits comfortably among the best ever.

    That was really illuminating. Dwayne is very animated in the box. He’s still insufferable, but he does clearly love the game.

    they took it pretty well. If it was me I would have turned the air blue.

    Imagine if the Blues had won.

    The best that can be said is they have got them both out of the way so weekend footy can proceed.

    Perhaps free of BT and what must must have been last night's worst commentary team they could put together

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
