Ok so now it’s been apparently proven that a draw doesn’t help I’m just going to focus on the benefit of the team who loses rather than anything else. 

Need to try anything to make this work.

    Lucky, that churchy trait gets Nathan Jones off the hook

    The hawks can do some damage in the finals. With Clarko there anything is possible. 

    I have been worried for a while that the Dorks could snatch another flag this year if they get into the Eight, especially if they get top 4. Their team is not what it was but they just keep playing consistent, smart football and many of the other contenders are copping injuries or suspensions. Only the Tigers and perhaps an improving GWS  are playing better footy. I hope we don’t have to meet them early if we make the Eight. We more than match them on paper but we get outplayed and outcoached just about every time we play them.

    I still don't think there has been enough focus on the cats and there current situation on the ladder. This is a team that has the like of Hawkins, Danger, Selwood, Menzel then they throw in ablett this year and they are currently sitting 9th. 

    They should be sitting top 4 but they aren't even in the 8. At the beginning of the season if you said with 3 rounds to go geelong would be 9th you wouldn't believe it.

    I just love the booing of Ablett.

    It’s a shame Geelong have 2 easy games coming up would have liked to see them miss 

    I think they still can. My ladder predictor has North coming in. I tried to redo it but it’s mid round.

    And if they had lost the 2 games won after the siren against us they would be well out contention!

    I had them finishing 9th in pre season ladder. They don’t deserve to be there e specially after what they did to us this year.

    you mean what we did to ourselves, they were just the bystanders.

    We blew it, twice. 

    They get 8 points. 

    This is exactly why we as a whole, club and supporters, must learn to never accept even an honourable loss as anything near good enough. 

    The ramifications are right here in front of us  

    that said, we can still control our destiny, but Jeelong should have been killed off weeks ago

    • 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.
