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

Think of it as SA's revenge for Vic tying up the GF for 20 odd years.

It's a good product but needs to be stretched over two weeks to offer a reasonable chance for fans to attend. There's not many hotel rooms in Adelaide in the scheme of things

    I do agree with you on Hotel Rooms over there. I have always had to pay top 💰for any accommodation when i have needed to be there

    You can't find a room for 100kms when the cricket's on and that's only a crowd of 35.

    Perhaps split it over Perth and SA on one weekend assuming those two States would pay

    Football festivals are fun if they're run well

    How does a 35 yo Dangerfield kick 4, how do they get players like Cameron & Smith & we trade in zero

    Amazing to see Danger running riot at 35 while we have a couple of “so called” stars who are cooked mentally if not physically in their late 20’s!

    Watching the crows forwards It’s frustrating & unbelievable how our club hasn’t been able to develop & trade in any power forwards to maximise our premiership window!

    i said years ago we should have traded that peanut in weideman who cant even get a game in the vfl for fogarty or georgiades from port

    If we had generous billionaire sponsors who would gift properties, vehicles and lucrative sponsorship deals to players and their families it would help.

    Don’t forget there was no 6-6-6 when we had Burgess

    Much easier to defend in 21

    Umm, that rule was introduced in 2019. It's not hard to check these things.

    As annoying as he is, you have to admire what danger is doing & what he did last night.

    This is the level & skill Oliver & petracca have to consistently get to

    Agree .. let’s not forget the state gvt have giving 140 mill to redevelop their stadium over the last 15yrs whilst we are stuck training on a paddock & driving 50 mins to Casey & a pipe dream horse racing track as a training centre

    22 Nathan Williamson. He’s a shocker. Always gives Dees a bad run. We can only hope this changes this weekend!!

    I dont think we have stars who can influence a game like 35 year old Danger is capable of

    Would love to CP have a go at being such a star

    We can hope to win Tattslotto this weekend, too. That’s probs more likely to happen. 😅

    So does Bailey Smith cop the same rhetoric for his middle finger salute to the crowd as Harley Reid. Or is it OK because.... Geelong.

    You know, you can make your point without resorting to insulting name-calling. As someone over the age of five, you know that, right?

    Other than the configuration of the MCG this idea of Melbourne Storm's CEO (Justin Rodski) makes a lot of sense.

    Rodski has been campaigning for the Storm to take advantage of the AFL leaving the state for Gather Round by playing a Storm versus New Zealand Warriors game at the MCG in future, which he said could be a platform for Melbourne to steal a future NRL decider from Sydney.

    Given its record of strong crowds for State of Origin games, Rodski believes a successful Storm game at the MCG when the AFL vacates Victoria for a week and heads to Gather Round would make a strong case for the Victorian government to put in a bumper bid to bring the grand final to Melbourne.

    “I don’t see any reason why the NRL shouldn’t consider the MCG and why the Victorian Government shouldn’t consider the NRL grand final,” Rodski said.

    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

    Following the storm is great. Yes I have sat through lost grand finals, but this team has given me premierships & finals appearances in my lifetime more than the dees have. They are consistent & have a wonderful coach.

    Also while everyones at gather round the storm are playing on Sunday here in Melbourne & it's a sell out.

    Adelaide almost kicked half of our total season goal tally in one night. In a loss.

    Ugh it’s gonna be one of those nights.

    I’m running out of threads that are bearable.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
