from around half way through the last quarter Hawks looked like they were playing to save the game

Interesting if that is the case, not the usual Whorethorn. 

We can beat any side, if we are mentally ready for 4 Quarters of hard pressure.

    I hate to say it but hawthorn are playing good footy. Just glad to see girlong lose. If you mis the 8 girlong thats what you get for recruiting Ablett.

    slow delivery into the forward line... stopping and going backwards etc etc... you can say they were playing conservatively but they certainly did not have the risk pedal down

    Can we lose all three - and make it?

    mathematically

    A quick ladder predictor says yes. We can make it with 12 wins as long as Sydney and Geelong only win 1 (Sydney can win 2 if you include the game against us).

    Problem with Geelong now is they are following the 90's model instead of the 00's one.

    Their best six is as good as anyone in the league. Their bottom six, not so much.

    You get injuries to Ablett, Selwood, Hawkins or Dangermouse and they would be shagged to Gold Coast of last week levels.

    In the back. But it should have been holding the ball against him before the hawk landed on him.  Furthermore it was very soft - plenty of more obvious similar in-the-backs not paid.

    But it was Dangerfield....

    So tomorrow is just so important to win for many reasons but we need to get our spot back off the hawks. We are now 5th. 

    Gee I really hope the crows can knock off the giants tonight.

    Eagles and Port - think it’s another one of those Port to win if we want top four, Eagles if wanna make 8. 

    Gotta do Swans first. 

    Barrack for Power.

    Just saw a replay of the worpel contest against selwood that set up a goal. Good stuff by the young man. 

    Great stuff wasn’t it! Should be the RS nomination this week was unlucky not to get it last week.

    West Coast are looking like not much chop so far without their key players Gaff Kennedy and NicNat. We're a massive chance over there next week.

    Yes it wouldn’t suprise me at all if last week really rocked the Meth Coke boys. 

    Time will tell the story

    I'm aboard the "Top 2" bandwagon. I was just answering a question.

    Pretty clear early that James Harmes has to go to Elliot Yeo next week.

    If Port win today and we win the last 3 games, we will finish 2nd guaranteed.

    My god could you imagine if thats how the ladder ended up r23. Collingwood v melbourne at the mcg week 1. Im not sure I could handle that week. 

    I can't see port falling out. 

    On another note Id love to see Richmond v hawthorn in a final not the gf obviously but just to see how the hawks match up against them again.

    • 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.
