    Never change Freo. Long may you continue to fail when excepted to win and win when expected to lose. Bless you, you hideously boring team. 

    Great weekend of results for us, except North losing. But what else can you expect from those [censored]?! Will hate forever.

    The North result is debatable.  The only really bad one was bloody Richmond not beating GWS.

    If we had just gotten a win against garbage teams Port or St Kilda we would be in such a great position.

    No point crying over spilt milk though.  Bring on the Cats.

    Well that round couldn't have gone much better, barring an Essendon and Giants loss. Woo!

    True. Richmond not winning was bad. 

    Sydney winning pushed us down a spot. North winning wouldn’t have changed that.

    We can redeem ourselves by beating one of Geelong, Sydney or West Coast. Plus of course we need to beat GC and take care of Adelaide.

    North/Sydney result matters depending on whether we need the result to make top 4 or 8.

    yep, and as I've posted earlier, I'm risk averse.  If we make the finals outside the top 4, the season will be a success. If we don't make the 8 there will be wrist slitting all round.

    Port and Collingwood lose next week and we win we will be 4th. Lose and we are just surviving in the 8.

    Based on a few ladder predictors I've done with conservative results if we lose the next 2 games we could be sitting 10th.

    Well we had better not lose then  -  simple really.

    True.

    One other good thing about all these upsets is that it will likely take 13 wins to make the 8 now. it was looking like it may take 14 there for a while.

    So if we win 3 of the last 6 we will make it.   And top 4 is there for the taking.

    As as bizarre as it might also seem...just atm...as the final 8 might result according to Squiggle...we could play the Tigers in a prelim before the GF ;) Such a funny game Footy at times

    looking at that ladder is painful. We'd be on top if we had beaten Port, Geelong and Saints !!

    Every time I look at the ladder I think the same. I really feel that the best is yet to come and many will be surprised.

    Wow the pies dropped to 5th after there loss but have got back up to 3rd. Next week there are some important games. Us v Geelong, Collingwood v Nth and Port v GWS. Cannot stress the importance of us winning next week to get the 2 game break on the cats and hopefully collingwood lose to nth so we can climb a spot. But yeah you think if only we beat at least stkilda like we should have we'd be 3rd. 

    Anyone else get this scary feeling our finals could come down to r23 against the giants when of course they will be at full strength then.

    If we can't beat Top 8 teams do we really deserve to make the finals?

    No

    Strangely the tenet of many a post.

    Nope. As it is I think we will get bundled out week 1 (unless we make top 4 which is very unlikely). Gotta take a scalp.

    • 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?
