So is this a good result or a bad one for us?  I feel as though Port have a tougher run home, so them losing could be a better outcome as GWS have some easier games to come (and no, I don't include us in that).

Purely because I'm still wallowing in my own misery, the only amusement I can find from the situation is that GWS winning bumped Geelong down to 9th, despite what happened last night.

And... that's about it.

I think we have to accept GWS are likely to win almost every game from here with their buttery-soft run home. I'm not sure about Port's run home but I think they're pretenders and could easily fall out of the 8. It could very well be us vs them vying for that final spot.

    I would've preferred to stay above GWS, Port and Syd have tough runs home but a game in hand makes it tough for us to overcome either

    We need 3 wins now to scrape in on %

    I'm delirious, but we will 4 or 5 of our remaining games, and either pinch 4th or finish 5/6th.

    It's all in the head for our beloved demon's I truly believe we are top 4 quality . Although apart from the top 2 the rest of the 8 are all iffy on any given day

    Oh dear. The Port, St Kilda and Geelong games should have won them all and we would have been on top today. As if I wasn't feeling quite bad enough already.

    True, but those games show that we are not far off being really competitive should ease some of the pain.

    • 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?
