    When you actually look at the ten matches the Pies have won, you quickly realise they're really nothing special.

    Honestly I care who we beat when we win, the more games we win the better our opportunity to ensure a finals berth.  It also builds belief in the playing group and helps build consistent structures as you can control games and learn to continually enforce them.

    A win is a win...

    Uuggghhh the Collingwood media circle jerk this week will be unbearable 

    I've decided I'm going to enjoy the commentary on Flagpies this week. It's still clear that Richmond are the best team, and- on our day if all goes really well- I believe we can beat them.

    Dees- if we can just get to the bottom half of top four- we may be blessed with finals in Victoria.

    Long way to go yet- 8 more home and away games. IT IS SO LOVELY TO BE EXPERIENCING SOME HOPE!!

    GO DEES

    Well bee, IF and a big IF our guys put their minds to it and don't get ahead of themselves, we have a huge percentage opportunity over the next few weeks.

    Damn shame we didn’t turn up against them. We still had our fair share of sceptics throughout our winning streak though. 

    We beat no one because we made them look like no one. 

    After Pies just beat Carlton it was “ More dangerous than Richmond”. After beating Suns “ Flagpies? Ready to overtake Richmond”. 

    Hoping we get the last laugh over them.

    A strange feeling today,  first time ever wanting the Bombers to win. And will be hoping they win next week too.

    Stuff Essendon, I hope they lose by 100.

    I don’t worry about how opposition games affect the MFC. As long as we keep winning, the rest will take care of itself.

    We've tread on this banana peel before. Let's just win against St Kilda before the sky punching.

    Self praise = faint praise and all that but I could see this debacle coming.

    GWS just jumped 4 spots on the ladder (passing us, Geelong, North and Hawthorn).

    Essendon and Adelaide in 11th and 12th are only one win out of the 8 (and only one win behind us). 

    This is an incredibly even season and our losses to Geelong, Port and St Kilda will cost us our finals spot.

    Player sizes with some winning Clubs at this time of the year are certainly noticeable, even with the old blokes. Ah well, good luck with that.

    Watching Brisbane play it’s amazing what happens when u lower ur eyes when kicking in side 50. 

    We r so stupid when we bomb it long but yet we keep doing it. 

    Fmd.

    Watching some of these bottom 4 teams just shows what happens when you bring intent!  We are still short on intent, killer mentality and effort.  Damn indictment on this group who can do much better.

    Just heard a little kid calling up and sobbing on radio, these are the things that get lost, while the media always looks for the negative stories, there's 1000's of good ones that get hidden away. Great career, super talent and thanks for the memories.

    Cant blame him really,.  Hes done it all, 4 flags. He misses Darwin.

    Why play a few more years and risk more injuries or concussion?

    I think more players will start to retire early.

    Massive blow for the Hawks, only 28!

    A terrific player, obviously a solid family man too

    not too many players play 25 games in their first season after getting drafted!

    • 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.
