    Hard to believe that a club can be in the GF nine years after its inception and of course been in the finals for three years before.

    Out of interest who is credited with their now brilliant policy of draft young and trade. Looking at GCS and where they are you have to give it to them.

    West Coast won within seven years of entering the comp and Adelaide within six.

    Trying to see some positives from an MFC perspective but staring at the GC priority pick and their Darwin zone it's hard to see.

    Watching the captains/coaches press conference today, I’m struck by the vast chasm between theirs and ours when it comes to confidence, eloquence and overall intelligence. 

    We’re not going to win a premiership until we have that kind of leadership. Right now, we are not even close.

    So true. I wonder if a new Captain will be announced next week?

    Well it will either be close or Richmond will blow gws out of the water. 

    I know we have spoken of scully but I wonder how shiel feels today as well 

    I just think how marlion feels today waking up. You think of the legends who never won a premiership. Lockett, ablett skilton and this guy could just waltz in win a flag in his 1st ever game and get life membership

    There's a touch of arrogance with the Tiges bringing in Pickett for his first game.

    No matter what the party line the 2 boys who were pulled from a GF last week must be feeling it.

    They not only didn't get to play in the GF, they didn't get to audition for a spot in the big one.

    Must ruffle some feathers.

    If GWS have them covered at half time I think they (GWS) will run away with it.

    Richmond let teams get head starts and they have a belief in their ability to run them over.

    One day they are not going to come back.

    I hope it's this one...

    I think the Giants will win today. I used to hate their guts with a passion, as their inception and player drafting coincided with the time we needed it most. However, I now see a team that plays for each other and is passionate about the guernsey. They seem to have hit a sweet spot with the guys who have stuck with them on their list.

    Will barracking the Giants home today and I actually think they will win. Certainly don't deserve to be $3.30 outsiders, closer to a 50/50 game I would've thought.

    The gws memes that have been going around on social media have been quite good.

    I'm doing what I did last year as I can't bare to watch it properly.

    I'll watch from three quarter time onwards if it's close. I expect Richmond to win easily. Urgh.

    • 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?
