When they say you can't beat a side in the Top 8

Nice "crunch them into the ground" analogy Andy,  like the Stone Cold and Jonesy comparison!

    On that note, it’s incredible that Collingwood received a double chance after beating only one other team in the top 8.

    They made it by virtue of recording 1 win from 8 against this year’s finalists (now 1/9) and 14/14 against the bottom 10.

    I would have thought we would have been more Steven Regal in his 2008 heel commissioner phase (having been King Booker's town crier for a period).

    We just need people to start saying something like "they have been good this past month, but don't have it in them to make it through a prelim" and/or "Hawthorn are the finals specialists and Melbourne will cave under Clarkson's system of short kicking"

    Interesting to note that to date in the season we have now beaten 3 top 8 sides and all in the last three games.

    Collingwood on the other hand have just beaten one, us, back in June. have not seem much made of this.

    They also claim we are the slowest side in the comp. 

    Many claim that in DL, I always say it is not true, we have loads of speed

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
