Just imagine, we get 13 wins and Geelong knock us out of the top 8 by percentage. Would that not be the most infuriating end to the season imaginable, considering our two losses against the pricks?

I can't think of any ending more heartbreaking for the MFC, which means it will definitely happen. This team always finds creative new ways to plunge the knife deeper into our hearts. 

That would be the final boot to the teeth in 2018 from those hubcaps..

    You would think Ross got a phone call at quarter time.

    Pies with a free...Maynard pushes a hand on Motlop’s chest off the ball in front of Nicholls, Motlop retaliates the same way and 50 metres....Goal results. Motlop gets pushed off his feet on the way back to the centre in front of an umpire and nothing. Commentators as perplexed as the rest of us.

    Port Collingwood has been a good contest.

    You just know if Melbourne was in Collingwood’s position in this game they would have bottled it. You’d put your last dollar on it.

    Cats percentage could catch us today at this rate.

    If we get 13 Geelong is the only team who can pass us, and given Port are going to lose to Collingwood no one else can.

    With Port's loss, if we get to 13 we cannot miss the finals.

    Yup.

    It is now 100% guaranteed that winning 13 wins will get us into the finals.  1 more win.

    • 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.
