Change from those silly around the corners that are so trendy lol

They’re messy aren’t they....

Stevie J started it and he seldom missed. Now players are doing it to hide how nervous they are.

    Terrible game, terrible umpiring, obnoxious crowd and bloody freezing.

    We've been really lucky with our final weather this year. The two best nights for it both weeks.

    Toby Greene needs to go Kung Fu style and get involved in this game. Has done bigger all.

    Downhill skier. Think his form in previous year's finals has been similarly flat. Goes missing when the going gets tough.

    WTF was Sidebottom doing with his arm after that melee? It looked like a Nazi salute?! 

    Thought similar.

    Worst call of the season was burgoyne on brayshaw last night 

    Shiel was worse.

    The non calls not going to the orange abominations are glaring for mine.

    'Old school' so I want these imposters (GWS) out of our finals.

    I want our team to beat proper footy teams as we progress (hopefully progress)  Never said the same about the Eagles,  Crows,  Port & Freo ... footy states that deserved representation.

    I still hate Collingwood though - sheer unadulterated hatred.  Pure hate.

    I agree. I was just thinking couldnt imagine Melbourne playing GWS in a GF? How bad would that be. Reckon it would feel an empty event given what we would have gone through to get there. 91,000 Dees and 3 GWS orange people.....na no way. Hope the pies knock em out.

    Umpiring is disgraceful.

    GWS player should've knocked it over the line rather than get flattened on top of the ball. Although with this biased umpiring it would've been called deliberate.

    Either way, umpiring is ridiculously biased in Collingwood's favour. With the scores this close, they'll probably determine the outcome with a howler call (or non-call).

    One week at a time Wadda,  one week at a time!

    But if we can get that far (mozz factor deactivated) I'd much rather face the Tigers or Pies.

    And no,  I am not getting ahead of myself or any of that bathwater nonsense!  ??

    There was also the touched goal in the third.

    Was that kick before the last goal the required distance.

    I was just saying that! Barely 15m.

    Anyway, game over. Umpires and AFL get their wish.

    • 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?
