Go Saints.   We would pull even on points with Geelong if they lose tonight and we beat the Pies.

And Im sure we all wanna see Geelong miss the finals in general anyway.

    I hope our coaches are watching the Cats vs Saints game. 

    Cats spent the first 5+ minutes playing kick to kick as they did vs us.  But the Saints were able to get the ball from them.  'Learnings' there for us.

    pies have rested moore and reid for the crows, lost four more to injury and brought bad the great man lynden dunn for his first game in two seasons

    Go the Crows !!!


    I reckon the saints are more likely to slide down the ladder. So I’m ok with the cats winning. 
     

    Saints are majorly overrated

    Both Saints and Geelong have a good percentage. Whoever wins let's hope it's a thrashing

    Saints are yet to play the Eagles Brisbane and the Giants. They also play us, Bombers and Hawks... Interesting possibilities

    They might have been third but it Wouldn’t surprise me if the saints miss out on finals. No gun tall fwds, inside midfield can be beaten. Play keepings off and they fold

    Saints getting belted. Lovely. Wouldn't surprise me to see them tumble out of the 8 with the run home they have. 

    Hawkins 5 goals straight

    Saints dropped 12% and are now only 2% above us.

    Saints total pus tonight. Great to see.

    Who knows what to make of this season.

    Saints have looked a million bucks recently, and then turned into a 2013 Melbourne side tonight.  They didn't kick a goal after half time after smashing sides these last few weeks.

    Do we rate the Cats?  I feel like they could fall off a cliff as well.

    If we can keep winning games then we can play finals.  It's that sort of season.

    Just sent a txt too a saints mate who’s been at the game, and has been getting a bit cocky about them.

    “Hey “mate” the Dee’s kicked 4.8 against port up there and got beat by 51..........Dee’s and saints game should good”.
     After siren.
    “your mob kicked 2 more behinds than us but got beat by 59..........Dee’s by 6”

    Are you sure? That is a pretty novel concept.

    Yes, on second reading that's a pretty poor sentence.  

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that, normally, by this time of the season the eight is pretty set.  But I don't think it is this year.  Teams are more prone to losses, and in some cases big losses, and if we can hold our nerve then we can knock someone out of the eight as the season progresses.  That's what I was trying to say anyway.

     

    This season is entirely in our own destiny. But we have to beat Good teams, there are no excuses, all sides are playing off short breaks. 
     

    Stuff St.Kilda. Inconsistent at best.

    Hope Freo beat the hawks.

    • 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.
