only thing i want to see is suns and carltank winning so that the former can't argue for a priority pick and the latter stay ahead of us on the ladder

I never thought I'd utter this sentence but ... We want Carlton to win as many games possible and get out of the bottom 6.

    problem is there aren't many teams that we are likely to beat on this year's form.

    Playing Freo twice and therefore having two.. did we do the right thing by trading Hogan ... games would not be good for those of us wanting to move on. Imagine double games against Hogan, Watts and even Kent with each playing their seasonal best.

    I reckon the Suns are a chance.  Pies have half their best team out injured and maybe roughhead as well if still concussed. suns looked good last week.

    aside from that I'd like Port to win, because they are playing essendon

    and Hawks winning will be a nice reminder to North that they still suck, have no money and after their 'exhaustive search' of interviewing one person, are going no where

    I've not checked exactly, but I beleive Collingwood have actually named their entire available playing list in selection, once you include the extended bench for sunday (which will become the emergencies of course). Officially 20 names on the injury list, though some are test.

    Given that Collingwood's performance since the bye has been worse than the Demons maybe Gold Coast are in with a shot. Or would be, except they are tanking.

    Meanwhile, Brisbane are down to 4 injuries, with three of those being '1-2 weeks', and West Coast and Richmond are a week away from having injury lists just as low.

    Can we get the Hawks list manager?

    mitch Lewis pick 76 after 12 games looks a beauty

    Worpel pick 47.

    7 clearances in the 1st quarter

    Is Ben Brown the leagues premier diver? That’s two for the game so far, the best one was against Sicily, 7.8/10. 

    That one on half time was a cracker. Leaning back into Frawley and gets a free for holding. Umpires explanation: Prevented him from running at the ball. He was leaning back into Frawley, not trying to run.

    He's a free kick machine Brown. I'd love him at the Dees, if only to see if he still gets paid all those frees.

    Interesting to notice over the last few weeks and particularly tonight.

    The umps have obviously been instructed to call play on for kicks going backwards if they don't go a good 15+ metres...probably more like 20...

    Marks are being paid for around half the distance when they go forward.

    Another interpretation...

    Hawks will be down for a while. See how many of their so called 75k members hang on for the journey.

    Frawley looks cooked. 

    And Scully was very average.

    These are the only things I seem to get any joy from this season. Sorry, there's also seeing the filth lose.

    At docklands watching the Western magpies aka Port. Hardly a free seat in general admission. Port were going nicely.

    Would hate to see essendon win another close one

    • 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?
