That would be the worst result by far for us.

Our advantage over both teams is our percentage which would then become irrelevant.

I'm hoping for a North win. Making the finals is in our hands, making the top 4 is still possible, but we need games to go right. And FMD,  we have to make sure that if/when we do make the finals for the first time in 5 Prime Minsters that we can see them play at the MCG rather than an interstate game. We must be 5 or 6 to ensure that.

    they'd go a game ahead of us; don't want that

    Think it’s more that north would be a game behind us, not equal.

    draws take percentage out of the equation BB. It's one thing we have in spades.

    Probably better to take our chances with knocking one of them off

    Would keep North a game (and percentage) behind us.

    Florent handballed back into the corridor that led to a goal, now just fumbled badly and has cost them a second. Scores equal. Florent at fault for both.

    Sydney had no business winning that, really. Bunch of players out, Kennedy goes down early.

    Would have preferred a North win given I don't really like Sydney, but possibly the better result for us. We're now a game and percentage clear of all of Geelong, North and Hawthorn.

    North still have Collingwood, West Coast, Brisbane (away) and Adelaide (away) in their run home. They needed that.

    • 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.
