Cats might pinch this! They have an amazing ability to tear home in the last 10 minutes of games!

    So hawkins misses from 20 metres out. It just frustrates the hell out of me that he always performs against us. 

    It wouldn't surprise me if this is a draw. 

    But the hawks haven't kicked a goal this quarter. Clarko would be going nuts.

    Any specific reason why Whorethorn scoring dried up in the last Q, or was it just a momentum swing after the cats got a sniff?

    In the dying moments I was praying “NO DRAW”!!!  When the Hawks stuck the last one, that settled the nerves.

    Their 2nd close loss in 2 weeks.

    Should have been their 3rd in a row but we choked. They'd be dead and buried otherwise.

    Wtf was that free to danger for??!?

    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.

    Can we lose all three - and make it?

    Geelong has played 6 games this year decided by 2 goals or less. They've lost 4 of them and won 2. Any guess who the 2 they've won were played against?

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

    Would need Geelong, North and Essendon to lose their last 2. 

    So no.

    • 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.
