Do they still do Eagle rock or was that a Subiaco thing?

Looks like it... :(

    Still only one win for the Filth vs a top 8 side all year, and that was us.

    Why'd we cop that narrative all season and they escape?

    If the Pies roll the Giants next week, Richmond v Collingwood in week 3 will be a huge match. Very glad that only one of those two teams can make the GF now.

    Also, one of us, Hawthorn or West Coast will make the Grand Final now. So we have a 33% chance of being in the GF. :)

    Have to give credit to West Coast, they were one down on the bench from early on but ran over the top of Collingwood.

    Collingwood still only have one win against a finalist. I don't rate them and on the shorter break against an in-form GWS, watch out.

    Meanwhile an MCG prelim would have been nice but we've already beaten WC once this year and the trips on the road this year have brought us together. They're beatable too, I think.

    Crikey. What to make of that. After quarter time, Eagles decided to play from behind, fumble and dispose terribly. Only got it back in last 10 mins. But it was all worth it to see Eddie going off his nut.

    It would be pretty great to belt that out after a big win!

    The WC won it with their crumbling, always collecting the loose balls at the base of packs.  We're very strong in that area as our boys know run hard.  The worry is Kennedy, but the only game practice he can get is an intra club.  But first we need to put the hawks out.

    Eagles wont be like last time i dont think...

    kennedy is badly underdone. we can hold him and match the eagles' in the contest.

    Collingwood's great hope for glory was to win tonight. 

    GWS will love nothing more than to give the Pies a touch up, which they're well capable of doing. 

    Sadly it's goodbye Maggies

    It’s crazy how so many in the media were giving it to us about it and so many who were giving to us picked Collingwood to beat West Coast tonight.

    Yep, another awful thought. One of Collingwood or Hawthorn guaranteed to make the Grand Final if we were to lose. Get me a vomit bag!

    Much funnier imagining West Coast being shat on by Richmond from a great height without the home-ground umpiring to get them home.

    Yeah I can live with that.

    Collingwood have been screwed. Sat night game, red eye back to Melb for a 6 day break before Sat.

    10 minutes ago I got questioned for not supporting Collingwood and now for being too sympathetic, rough night! ?

    • 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.
