Surely the lower placed team winning would always be to our advantage - then it is entirely up to us to keep winning 

In the first 5 minutes maggots have put themselves in the line of fire at least twice.  Now they have been declared sacrosanct (most of the time anyway) they seem to think that players should avoid them without taking any personal responsibility

    If you were playing a drinking game around how many times they mention De Goey and his 'form', you would already be legless.

    I am so sick of these moron commentators saying Buckley turned Howe into a defender...

    Didn't you hear, he turned Dunn into a defender as well.

    But we aren't going to win everything.... unfortunately we're not that good.

    Dogs lose and they have to win 9 out of 13 to make the 8 .. very hard

    Basically you can take 8 teams out of the equation almost this weekend on that theory.

    And then there were 10 !!!

    Definitely better for us if the Dogs win. Pies are a legitimate contender for a spot in the 8, so we want them to lose. Dogs aren’t contenders and have horrible percentage, so even if they win they’ll be 30-40% behind the good teams.

    1. Umpires loving the doggies.

    2. Commentary terrible.

    3. McLean ducks and throws

    4. Can't believe Mayne gets a game.

    Pretty much the exact game I had imagined

    Ed Richards for the Dogs looks a player. I was a fan before he was drafted due to his pace, but he’s showing goood footy smarts and toughness too down back. Looks a real likely type.

    Pies look to be taking control of this one now. They’re clogging the corridor better and Doggies are relying on mistakes to get their shots here.

    Cox is such a spud

    You could have told me before I put him in my SuperCoach team.

    Neither of these teams look great.

    The doggies are a shadow of the team that won the flag two years ago.  They look unfit.

    Pies look the better side but surely we have them covered.

    FMD Footscray played like dogs in the third quarter.  How did they ever win a flag.

    PS and the fourth has started even worse for them.

  • Quote

    With this win and a bloopy for Collingwood next week against Freo they’ll be 7-4 by QBH. Pretty nervy already bout that one.

    The dogs are just nothing on the team that won it in 2016. And honestly they wearn’t elite back then either, they had a great month.

    Absolutely no flow or run to the Dogs game – they’re merely a shadow of their former selves. Look forward to meeting them in the next few weeks.

    The only positive is if we win Sunday and both win next week its sets up a massive game on QB.

    Pies in that third quarter were rebounding so easily out of Dogs fifty. Shows the importance of forward defensive pressure.

    Pendlebury, Sidebottom and to a lesser extent Treloar and DeGoey are their main movers.

    Neither team has good forward structure.

    If we bring our game we should have these two teams comfortably.

    Dogs have kicked 3 goals since quarter time.  They're poo.

    They kicked 5 with umpires gifts in the first.

    A bunch of soft frees and a couple of 50s in front of goal.

    At least they earnt the three since quarter time.

    Have you seen a more gutless effort? Scared to attack when you’re 15 points down against a mediocre Collingwood. 

    Weak as.

    • 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?
