    One more quarter to go, season on the line. The next 20 minutes will tell us how much this club wants to play finals. 

     

    This.

    This is the real test of where we are at as a club. Forget the draw, the hub  the travel. Forget everything. 

    How much do we want it.

    GWS can lose and make finals still.

    This is an elimination final for us. 

    It is members thank you round. Dess fans have tipped in money for that jumper.

    Time to stand up dees.

    Go redlegs

    Is it a fair criticism to say that Viney cannot read the play ahead. He sees the ball and gets it or attempts to every time. Sometimes you need to make a judgement on what is likely to happen...not always go in head first.

    Maybe not the right thread for it...apologies if so

    Not the sharpest tool in the shed but one cannot fault his endeavor and commitment

    I agree. I don't think we can carry Fritsch even when he's kicking goals. His non defensive efforts kill us.

    At about round 8 I would say we couldn't afford to drop him. Every time I see him recently I feel like throwing something at the tv. Can't believe how much I was looking forward to watching how his season was going to play out.

     

    Even the taters are asking what we need to do to get Weid into the match.  He's having one of his many too many mares

    Lever's inboard turnover goal turned the game when we were 3 goals up

     

    Overpaid...

    Umps have decided the result already

    Its hard to win with umps like this.

    Hopper actually went under Oliver’s legs but I guess we never get those ... twice tonight.

    How the hell is that a free against Oliver?  Terrible decision.

    Why are we getting our legs taken time and time again? Have they forgotten this rule???

    Can Fritsch actually hold a mark. PLEASE.

    Weideman is killing us.

     

    Richo reckons it wasn't deliberate? I'm really really struggling to see the issue, he directly handballed in our of bounds, ON THE FULL

    • 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.
