Blues are zoning well to prevent any Pies forward plays… be interesting if they can maintain it. Pies lack of tall forwards and punch in the middle mean Blues should beat them well…

please. 😊

@binman normally rate your tips but Pies. Two big outs De Goey and Mitchell. Plus Pies two named key defenders Markov and Noble. Extremely underwhelming against Harry Charlie and Tom. I think this will be hard for Pies to get back into game. Will severely dent Pies season which will make it a perfect night

Another nnon-universal rule of the AFL.

I am mystified by how far players can run when kicking-in after a behind.  I'd assume they can't run more than 15m from the end of the goal square. Yet they often run much much further than that and it would be easy for the umps to judge given they have a 9m ruler nearby.  Am I missing a rule?

No but the umps certainly are.... all four of them


Pies have given up 6.3, 6.1 and tonight 5.4 in the first quarter of their last 3 games.

Cox raises his mitt...

"Look guys i have a stylish glove here"

 

given we're playing them next week i'd would prefer if the pies gave Carlton a tougher physical test than this. 


Ah, the beauty of having two power forwards a la Blues and Cats. One stays put (Curnow, Hawkins) the other drifts to the wing or further back (McKay, Cameron). If it’s TMac on Cameron tomorrow night probably McKay’s his man next week. Just don’t see May up to that much travelling.

Sad seeing Sidebottom go on a year too many. A Champion player but they can’t carry him for much longer

First kick a goal. Well done son.


Well done Sullivan. That’s awesome.

 Collingwood’s debutants look Collingwood-ish already.

Cox 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Carlton have gone to sleep


Pies not bad with the long bomb i50. They’ve stolen our game plan … previous game plan?

 

Blues defence is terrible

  • 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.

    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?
