Hopefully Rich and WCE win - we go a game up on Freo and Pies.  And they are the ones we will be competing with to make the 8.

 

Edit: and a smaller reward - we end the round in 10th spot on the ladder.

Yep... top 4 is now almost certainly gone so we are competing in that 6-12 bracket.

In our interest to have the top 4 or five race away.

    Score worm for Rich v Pies looks very similar to our game on Tuesday.

    In what world are we competing with Richmond for a spot on the ladder?

    Funny that.

    All that talk about how good Collingwood are. They're a mid-table side just like us.

    Thanks for pointing it out, have now fixed the post.

    I accidentally edited Freo and Pies out of that sentence who are two of the teams competing with us for a top 8 spot.

    Freo are a little better than I thought  pre season.

    Cannot bring myself to admit the  Pies may be better than I had predicted.... 12-18.

    At least I was right in relation to the Essendon hype

    • 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.
