Would love to see Freo knock over the pies for obvious reasons. I just don't want the pies getting a double chance

Sydney v Hawks will be interesting

But i really think the game that will be the highest viewing game and the most popular is nth v saints tucked away at 4:40. Not

What I would find hilarious but it wont happen is GC best geelong, they miss out on the finals and port slide in. Actually assuming Port beat the scum tomorrow night, which I hope they do they will be in the 8 until geelong play.

    The only upside of the filth getting the double chance is the possibility of them going out in straight sets ...

    I hate the filth ....

    my preference would be to seek revenge on the cats in 2 weeks, to say we owe them is an understatement.

    I wouldn’t be discounting the Dockers. They have an unpredictably dual nature in that they are the competition’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: usually very good on their home deck but they go shockingly when they have to travel away.  

    Barring the local derby games, Freo are 7-3 on their home ground this year. Their scalps include both Adelaide teams and earlier this year they nearly knocked over the Eagles at the venue.     

    I’m backing them in to upset the Pies.

    Can't really see any upsets this weekend. Maybe the saints over North. Us and gws about the hardest to pick.

    Just as there is a lot at stake in ladder position for the top 8 there will also be jockeying for position outside the 8 for Draft position.  eg 3 teams are on 44 pts so they can shift 3 spots in the draft.   Ditto a few spots for teams further down.

    I doubt the likes of Freo will try too hard to beat the Pies, or North try too hard to beat the Saints.  Adelaide may even let Carlton win to lock in draft pick 7 - critical for Adelaide in a draft top heavy with SA talent.  

    A very interesting round...

    Who do we all think will take out the Coleman?
    Riewoldt and Brown in the box seat but Hawkins playing against the Suns could have a field day.
    By the time Sunday rolls around Ben Brown will know exactly how many he needs and I reckon the North boys will try and feed him all day. Depends which Saints turn up as to how many he kicks.

    60   Jack Riewoldt  (Vs Dogs – Sat avo)
    58   Ben Brown  (Vs Saints – Sun avo)
    57   Lance Franklin  (Vs Hawks – Sat night)  *potentially not playing based on recent commentary
    56   Tom Hawkins  (Vs Suns – Sat avo)
    52   Luke Breust  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - 
    47  Jesse Hogan  (Not playing)
    46  Jack Gunston  (Vs Swans – Sat night)
    45  Tom McDonald  (Vs GWS – Sun avo)

    Well done to Jesse and Tom who will likely both finish within the top 10.

    I so want Geeeeelong to win so we can have the pleasure of thumping them out of the finals. Our two loses to them earlier MUST burn deep within our boys and staff. Just want to see their smug faces in serious pain. Their arrogance really upsets me.

    Dead rubber tonight.

    I don't wish injury on any player but I would like to see the 10 best players from Port and Essendon all do their ACL and miss all of 2019.

    We have never had 20 ACL tears in the same game so maybe tonights the night.

    I would’ve sacked him after the showdown celebration cringe fest.

    Port is an absolute rabble. I guess Jack Watts was the problem all along…?

    Good question, they were 11-4 and will miss.

    This is hilarious what's happened in the Port v Ess match!

    Just turned the match on and after three minutes turned it off. In that time Brooooose climaxed three times over the druggies. RETIRE now you nuff nuff. He just insult's everyone's intelligence.

    You would have to say now that Port won’t win by 150 points tonight and therefore, we are officially in the final 8.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
