There is great joy in watching two arrogant clubs which tried to bulk-buy their way into finals each taking turns at being thoroughly crapulent.

If only Adelaide was playing in this game too. Then I could watch every non-Melbourne supporting member of my extended family feel bad in one glorious night.

    No noise of acclamation at the Adelaide Oval tonight. The Bombers lead frees 12 to 6.

    That’s because Essendon are everyone’s second favourite team. Even the umpires.

    They continue to talk up Essendon but they are 8-12 at best.

    Could never understand the hype but not to worry they will get the prime time games again next year

    But wait a minute, wasn’t everyone at the start of the year talking about how well Port had recruited?

    Ollie Wines is slowly becoming an overrated player for me.

    Give me Angus Brayshaw every day of the week.

    I REALLY want the cats in the first week, I feel like beating them in the finals would exorcise some demons for us

    Sooo let me get this straight... Dons can’t play finals and Port have a chance to go into the 8 and how Cats lose... 

    Port look terrible and Ess are over celebrating!

    Agreed 100%.

    If he was a Melbourne player we would be pulling our hair out at his poor foot skills and lack of speed.   Covers the ground like a turtle.

    Me too.

    Finally, Viney would get to play them in 2018.

    Boy, wouldn't it be funny if Essendon win and it turns out we would've made finals regardless of losing our last two games? ?

    Poor old Watts. Would be lucky to get a game at Casey the way he is playing. Looks to be totally uninterested in going anywhere near the ball unless it lands in his lap. Doubt he’ll get another contract.

    I’m just so glad that for once the destiny was in our hands and we were good enough to make sure of it without having to rely on other results.

    Ridiculous.  It’s Wines v Toumpas as the comparison. 

    Brayshaw is a champion. And so is Ollie Wines.

    God, I hope he gets another contract.

     

    Imagine all the nuffies on here calling for us to recruit him as a delisted free agent if he doesn’t!

    • 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.
