Crazy bounce there brings the Bummers close. 

And now ahead after a soft free on the siren.  ( Max, look at Brown’s goal kicking and memorise)!!

    Hoping for  a Sydney win here.  It will end the Essendrugos chances of making finals.  Look at their supporters melting down, I despise every last one of them.

    We still have a chance to peg the Swans back in Round 21...

    Devon Smith just did a classic Fletcher foot out trip - ignored by the maggots.   Will Christian have a look especially after this weeks broken leg ( only worthy of three weeks though)?.  Probably not especially were the Bummers to win and remain in the race. HQ wouldn’t allow that, though of course Christian is independent isn’t he ?????

    And the commentators said it was a bit soft.   AFL, run by  turkeys and comments by Ch7 turkeys.  If the AFL doesn't penalise players for that .....

     2 goals in 40 seconds before half time...... and I thought we were bad.

    And before it happened Bruce said ... the Swans know exactly how much time to ?go

    I hate Essendon more than any other team but surely a win for them is better for us?

    nah.... Essendon has an easy run home and we need to stop that momentum

    Their in home looks pretty tough to me - hawthorn, Richmond and Port away

    sorry might be another team but in any event the thought of the Bombers making the finals like last year and we don't is not good for my psyche

    It doesnt really matter who wins tonight. We are above Essendrug and after we beat Adelaide, GC and Sydney we will be well above both sides.

    Couple of blatant throws from Bummers deep defenders ignored.

    I see the little chat the MFC had about the protected zone after Harmes' penalty (which I expect never happened) has had an effect.  Umpire shouting repeatedly to Essendrug player to get out, oplayer ignires him, no 50m penalty.

    • 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.
