Results have been good for us so far. We should be confident against the Swans and then play the Eagles with eyes on their spot on the ladder.

Then a home game against a team as good as us to have a home final...

We are definitely capable of it. Might need to come out of the huddle at 3qtr time tho...

    Not good but doesn't sound career threatening yet, if it was the media vultures (Barrett, McClure etc) would be all over it....that said i wouldn't rush him back this year

    They keep flaring up. That is the problem.

    So you think he may play only one more game as a result?

    I have no idea how many more he will play, but i think it will be week to week management

    Having had on going foot problems myself, i am very worried. 

    No intel. Just my own experiences and that doesn’t include elite sport

    Bud won’t kick 4 against us. He is playing against a terrible defence.

    I think the thing we have going for us is being able to score big. Sydney simply don't score highly enough. Buddy kicked most of their score. Limit him to even 5 and make sure no one else bobs up and we should have them covered.

    It's not clear, though, and that's the problem.

     

    In the replay I was watching (real time from the initial TV shot) without slow mo or different angles it was clear to me the spin on the ball totally changed when it hit the post.

    ..but agree they need to invest more to make the right decisions.

    A bit too Mickey Mouse at the moment.

    4k GoPros mounted on top of the Goal Posts would be a good start. 

    The angles the AFL use right now are a complete joke. It’s laughable. 

    Who do they use for camera advice??

    Lets not get into this now, positives vibes now are required.

    1. Not a doctor or medico of any type

    2. Not seen Viney's foot

    3. Never an elite sportsman 

    Hmmmm.....

    With all due respect WYL, pardon me for taking your comments very lightly.

    Feel free to do what you like. You have a differing opinion. 

    I have had foot problems for over 50 years, so i am not a complete novice. 

    That’s why i am worried

    They must. The problem could be solved in 30 minutes

    Third will be a horrible spot to finish. A likely trip to Western Australia - the second in a month - and then a potential return to play 5th spot - possibly vs Collingwood or Hawthorn - at 'home' - possibly again after one of these Vic teams played the same venue vs 8th spot the week before without having to travel. Finals format is flawed. 

    We need to take it easy the next few weeks. And a tank may be on in round 23 if third spot is in play.

    Agreed, 4th would be much nicer.

    • 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.
