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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
