This would have taken a fair bit of energy out of the swans. Thank [censored] that Johnson came back this week and that feel good factor is not in play against the Dees.

    Man I wish pies had of won tonight. Swans and buddy get their confidence back. Makes it a lot harder for us to make the 8

    Pies will get to 14 wins with their soft draw. 

    It is entirely 100% in our hands as to where we finish - even second, with double chance and home finals is possible .... in fact WILL happen if we win all our games.

    So ...no excuses.

    Super round of footy so far.

    If anything, this round should be proof positive that we should fear no team in the competition.  Swans might have fallen over the line tonight, but I think the win paper's over their cracks.

    Well... what a finish, I think this year will be as tantalising as last year - we’ll lose to GWS miraculously and hate all of our close losses for it...!

    but we have a sniff’

    Great chance to be 4th at end of round, as long as we don't screw the pooch. Massive game next week if we win tomorrow. Come on Dees. ?

    How good has this round of footy been? Damn. 

    First round in VFL/AFL history where 5 games decided by under a goal.

    As long as we beat the Swans. Possibly one of WCE & GWS. And obviously the Suns. 

    It should never be easy to make the Top 4. 

    It’s time RIGHT NOW for the MFC to get serious

    The filth nearly won with a depleted squad. I am nervous about next week but watching the swans they look terrible. We can move into 4th tomorrow so lets see if we can keep it.

    Think this is the first time ever that a round has had 5 games decided by less than a goal.

    Think how many TV's would have had coffee cups or bottles put through them.???

    We could conceivably be playing GWS for a top 2 spot in round 23. 

    And I see no reason why we can't be doing that.  The Eagles in Perth will be tough, but I think we can match them on the day.

    If Kennedy is out we stand a very good chance.

    If we want to win a flag this year, the Sydney win was the perfect result for us.
    If we just want to Bradbury our way to an extra footy game this year, well then bad luck.

    lol Franklin or not, Sydney are still terrible.

    Collingwood literally has no backline with Dunn, Scharenberg & Howe. 

    Of course a champion was going to kick a bag.

    • 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?
