    So that night we beat Geelong & I thought our season will get going because of how good a team Geelong are, maybe I was wrong & it's disgraceful we only won by 8 points.

     

    So when we beat the top team at 7-0 in their best form you think it was disgraceful we only won by 8 points?

    when the Blues and the Lions etc lost to them earlier this season, was that worse than disgraceful?

    What TF was that Catman [censored] doing in the stands just now?

    Idk who tf he is but unless Catman has gained weight, aged considerably and phoned in his makeup, that was someone else.

    Chris Scott giving about 13 years worth of credit to the opposition in his post game presser.

    Never heard him so complimentary.

    He's reached the "acceptance" phase of his grief journey.

    Carlton were amazing tonight, I do not want to play them in the finals.

    with this lot - weitering, cripps, walsh, curnow, mckay - now is their time to strike

    they remind me so much at our best over the last three years, but with two incredible forward targets

    TdK, Kennedy, Acres … 
    And we lost a couple of our best players within two years of our flag. Their window is wide open. Our’s has shut.

    That’s one concern I don’t think you’ll need to worry about.

    I think it’s more like 4. And two of them are against the Dogs and Hawthorn who aren’t exactly mug sides.

    Yep, they've hardly been menacing at home this year.

    If they really need Danger and Hawkins to do anything then they're no better than the person who hangs out for pension day.

    Ashcroft no doubt be pretty rusty I would expect. We'll beat them anyway.

    Surely no sane selection committee would select a player straight into the firsts after a long layoff 🙄😮

    Just tuned in to AFL News and saw the clip where the Carlton De Koenig gives away two free kicks against his brother, neither paid, and De Koenig of Carlton is designated as 'The winner'. I am so fast losing faith in this game called AFL...

    Is that the same de Koenig who kneed Max in the head from behind in a ruck contest - “play on”?

    Play on. Siren goes. Still a goal.

    LOL

    Only emphasizes the lack of knowledge of the rules by the part time umpires.

    However, the reverse of say 5.11 was a not uncommon scoring dynamic for the Blues in the last few seasons. Accuracy has definitely improved this season! The Blues have worked very hard on their forward set-up, collectively and individually. Simon Goodwin, take notes!

    Perhaps they have a forward coach who understands forward play and structure. Who do they have in that role?

    Geez Norf supporters would be vomiting at that 50 to Carlton 

    And of course there will be atonement for that error made up in spades tonight 😡

    We now have the media's next clickbait story to replace the Dees as next weeks topic.

    The demise of Geelong is now official and is this a result of poor culture?

    Unless there's another umpiring howler of course, like Camerons goal last night at half time

    I was about to start a post about why the media only focuses on Melbourne: surely the problems at Catland deserve more attention.

    The Cats will get respectful coverage

    if we only won 1 game from 7 it would be wild speculation/ crisis at MFC/ who will be sacked coverage

    Jordan Russell

    But I think having a few seasons of the same group together to build cohesion and Harry McKay sorting out his set shot kicking have been important factors.

    Jack Martin, Jessie Motlop and Matt Cottrell are still yet to come back to this foward line as well mind you. There may be a fight for spots coming up, good problem to have.

    Too many mates in the media to ever be scrutinised seriously.

    • 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.
