Holy [censored].. GWS dropping this game and by a big percentage means that this game is a HUGE must win game.

Its simple, we beat Collingwood, we go to 8th spot.

C'mon Dees let's dare to dream!

If this outcome doesn’t provide added incentive I don’t know what will. 
 

Simply

Must

Win.

Not so fast. First, we have to win on Saturday without our two ruckmen.

A win doesn't guarantee us a spot in the 8 - if Essendon beat St Kilda they'll take it and we'll stay 9th (with GWS 10th).

Doesn't change the fact that this game for us this weekend is huge.

Hmmm. When was the last time we had such a massive game with a lot riding on it against Collingwood...?

Yep, that draw really [censored] everything up. Saints can easily drop this game Gresham being an out for them is huge.

Last game of 2017. We should have eaten Collingwood up which would have given us a finals gig. Expectations was high to beat them comfortablyand we failed miserably. 

Good opportunity to see how Goodwin works with pressure on him. 
The door is open, but we have to take the walk

I want the saints to lose this week. Round 13 sees essendon play Richmond and the saints play the lions.

If we can muster a win against the pies and the dogs we will leapfrog both teams whilst making life really hard for the pies and essentially knocking the dogs out of the finals race.

GWS ... 2 goals from 'free kicks' ... free in every sense of the word.

The umpiring was dreadful tonight.

Summed up by the 3rd goal from a free to GWS...

Just dreadful...

 

Sydney opened the door to the eight  and has given us that chance to be even more motivated. We cannot afford to slip up now.

This is a great opportunity for us to make a statement. Let's ruffle some feathers .

Agree - obviously all depends on whether we can beat teams in the 6-12 range but I think St Kilda are vulnerable as they still have games against Bris, us and West Coast.


The Swans have pretty much taken the Ferrari keys right out of GWS hands, tied a red ribbon on them and ditch them in the Dees direction to take advantage of the opportunity to floor it into the 8.

If the giants were a vic based team they would be under so much more scrutiny. 

If the Giants had supporters they would be under so much more scrutiny.

On one hand we have only beaten teams currently 12th or lower.or the other hand we have let to the top 4 plus the tigers. 
 

The season is poised beautifully to see where we really sit as we play 7 teams in roughly this middle group.

If we can't beat teams in the 6-12 range then we don't really deserve a spot in the 8. We have a [censored] load of 8 point games coming up, keep winning and the ladder will take care of it's self

Long run I don't think Essendon can compete for a finals spot. They've got too many games to come against the strong sides and I'm not convinced, at all, they can win enough of them to get to 10.

And yes, I was hinting at Round 23 2017. This isn't as important given it's not a clear cut of "win and in", but it's still the most important game we've played this year.

That Essendon draw did us no good at all.

Had Essendon lost it would have opened up 2 spots in the 8 for us to take...Pies and Saints with both Bombers and Suns trailing us.

Bombers beating the Saints is good but it gives the Bombers a big leg up. If Saints win it gets harder to take their spot.

Lose to Collingwood and we will be well out of the 8.

Looking increasingly likely we will need ten wins to make the 8 which is probably at least one win too many for us.

LH I believe a Blues win is best for us as it puts to bed any chance of Freo making the 8 and we are yet to play them

GWS are vulnerable but hard to see them losing to the Swans

GWS now in mix do maybe 3  spots

I like the look of Sydney’s younger players. That Rowbottom looks a really good prospect.

Leon Cameron will surely go at seasons end.    Surprised hes lasted so many years actually.

 He was just handed the most insanely talented list ever with endless high end draft picks and assets and all he has to show is a 12 goal Grand Final loss.

Thats a good analogy.

They still have a load of talent and they have the academy so the list will be strong for a while yet.  if they bring in a great coach they can still pinch a flag or two sadly.

Clarko surely?

 

Interesting that Geelong get a free after laying a dangerous tackle. Seems that even after all of the discussion following ANBs case, it still comes down to outcome and not action.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
