Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week.

Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels.

In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal.

Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs.

Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle.

In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants.

The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

Pity Saints v GWS is at Norwood, shapes as the game of the round to me.

We will be shunted to the South Australian countryside next year. People should book now in the Barossa Valley.

We're lucky the Whyalla foundries don't have a playing field.

Hmm, great idea, thanks for the idea. I'll start planting the seed with Mrs Right tonight!!

Haven't taken her to the Barossa before.

The last few rounds have had so many dud matches

I see now they have saved them all up for gather round so they can claim the TV numbers as a success

Meanwhile a couple hundred thousand supporters miss out of seeing their team

tipping:

  • crom?

  • filth?

  • gc17

  • baggers

  • bears

  • them

  • flagmantle

  • gw$?

  • dingley?

at this stage of the season the best result for us is probably keeping the ladder 'bunched' with the exception of the teams directly above us - baggers, tigs, peptides, north - getting wins on the board

Hard to believe that this time last year THIS TEAM (only Lever and McVee out for Bowey and Melksham) had just beaten Port Adelaide and Adelaide at Adelaide Oval within 5 days, and then beat the league leaders in Geelong 3 weeks later. Out of all the horrendous on and off field happenings, these achievements just gets buried under everything.

Heading to 5 of the 8 non MFC games.

Pies/Sydney and Saints/GWS the pick of the bunch.

footyfest! take that lees and west!!

yes, it's really disheartening how much we have dropped off

i used to go to norwood oval every second week in the mid 90s - great place to watch footy

in other news, will day has re-injured his troublesome foot and will miss months

rankine's calf is playing up and he might miss for the crom

injuries suck


Not related to this week but Luke Jackson could miss our game with a hammy.

Probably won't make much of a difference tot he result but it's hard to watch a former Dee dominate you game after game.

Looks like the whinging C Scott is posturing 🤮 for umpire favours vs Adelaide

Scott accuses AFL of 'cherry-picking' umpiring mistakes

Chris Scott has taken aim at the League's admission of an umpiring error on the weekend, and is bracing for an overcorrection against his side

Port v hawks should be Friday night and pies v swans should be Sunday night, especially with what went on last yime between Port & hawthorn

nah, pear vs dingley comes at the conclusion of gil's round

tailor-made for broadcast back to victoria

Pre covid I always had a second team to cushion the blow of MFC failure. Now I can't be bothered.

For 2025 it's Melbourne Storm and Oscar Piastri for me.

I suspect I'm not alone

Spot on DJ. I am similar I have zero desire for this stupid [censored] in Adelaide. However we are back to the old days of the season over in April. Very familiar territory. As a fellow demon supporter said to me this morning the only left is picking the size of the loss.


Still trying to work out the value and point of Gather Round.

The Media love it. They can all stay at 5 Star Hotels and drink free booze and tell us all what a great time they are having

For all the players and Coaches it must be a huge inconvenience, where some grounds are not really at AFL standards.

Gather Round is just so Andrew Dillon, a pointless excercise that he is so proud of…

I imagine Airfares and Hotel Rooms are about 8x the normal price. Uber Rides around the City will be peak

I think the whole thing stinks

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
