FMD how the hell did we lose to St Kilda. The costliest loss of the decade.

    Get the win tommorow Dees then smack the living suitcases out of these, "Everything on a silver platter" Swans.

    Can't stand them.

    Think it’s 70 years since Melbourne played Tigers in a final. Maybe Bluey Truscott’s last game. 

    I would love to Play Richmond week 1

    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.

    Actually it’s a bit less conceivable than I thought. West Coast are two games ahead of us, I thought they were only one. Obviously my scenario had us beating them (and therefore passing them) but they’d need to drop one of their other games as well to not still finish 2nd. Given their other games are Freo, Port and Brisbane that seems a long shot.

    Could be anyone's last game if we take the pessimistic line...

    13 will likely get us in but there are scenarios that say 14 in needed. @Supermercado has a scenario where a team misses out on 13 wins and 8th being on 14.

    It's actually fairly likely now, not just a possibility

    Hawks, Geelong, North could all easily finish on 14

    We need Geelong you lose to Hawthorn or North to lose to Adelaide

    Ladies and gentlemen, the top 4 has really opened up. We are a massive chance of a sneaky top 4.

    Obviously this is code for missing the top 8, or is it...

    Go you f’ing demons! Take your chances!!

    Now we will find out if Goodwin can really Coach. It’s all on the line

     

    I think its we find out if the 22 players that run out tomorrow can deal with expectation and want a top 4 spot desperately.

    Sydney looked better tonight but they were playing an injury-riddled Collingwood who haven't beaten anyone good other than us (and we haven't beaten anyone better than North). And Sydney still only managed 18 scoring shots (Collingwood had 21).

    I'm still confident we can beat them next week.

    Anyone see the Jenkins point given a goal and cleared by score review.

    The AFL have also cleared it.

    Joke...

    Hinkley is rightfully fuming over this one.

    You can clearly see the ball spin change and direction change as soon as it hits the post...

    Watched the pies v swans match with my pies supporting partner ( loves Melb but unfortunately I can’t extend the same courtesy) had some empathy for the pies with the amount of injuries......so don’t think the swans win was that meritorious.....I remember thinking last year when we had so many injuries ( not acknowledged by the media aka the pies this year) that with a reasonably injury free list this year we will do so much better...we have so far but  the rest of the competition also improves & so it proves a point that you must take your chances when presented ......go dees for the next 4 games & beyond !!

    • 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.
