Bad option by Kelly to handball inboard. He had players loose on the outside.

    Never do I support a Pies win, but gees it’s nice to see West Coast lose at home. A really good win in a very tough season for them in terms of injuries and travel. But they made no excuses and got on with it. 
     

    And once again.... bad goal kicking is bad football.

    And to think - we towelled them up

    We toweled up an injury riddled out of form version of them. They just beat the Eagles in Perth in finals. Credit to them. We didn’t even get close to doing that in our best year in 15 years!

    Pies made no excuses and got the job done. We need to grow up and start doing the same. No more excuses!

    Ugh 1 point. All those opportunities they had in the beginning of that final term and couldn't kick a goal. 

    I hate you west coast for inflicting another week of us having to hear about this win, having to hear the pies for another week in finals and hearing and seeing Ed be happy.

    After watching the game live tonight (dogsvsaints) and after a few beverages during and after the game we are so far off being a finals side it’s not funni. 
     

    Goodwin better pull his finger out of his backside if we are to be any good next season. 

    Actually, if Naitanui plays against the Doggies in Round 16 we would have been a finals side.

    Are you telling me all those Collingwood supporters live in Perth? Something fishy going on here. Looks like people smugglers were busy this week getting certain groups across multiple borders. Or did they arrive via boats.

    So it's certainly worth noting that Port, Brisbane, St Kilda and now Collingwood (who look like they're home) are through.

    Of those four teams, Port we failed to turn up, Brisbane we were a simple set shot from Harley away from winning, we beat St Kilda and we beat Collingwood.

    We missed a shot after the siren to Geelong and stopped for a quarter against the Bulldogs and Richmond. The latter game we used the ball terribly in.

    Despite not getting the job done this year, it has to be said with a few tweaks, a few new additions to the best 22, another pre season under Burgess, Goodwin's job on the line and increased consistency and we're not a world off 4th-6th position next year.

    Yeah, I don’t really get the consistent ‘watching these games we are a mile off’. I really don’t think we are.

    love seeing the west coast get beat in Perth and their feral supporters losing their minds.

    That was another cracking game of footy. A bonus Eddie wasn’t at the ground so we didn’t have to see his face on tv.

    You have to admire a side that can go over there and win a final.

    Pies played very well. I fancy them to beat Geelong next week.

    And can I also just say how happy I am that they stuck it up WA and their moronic premier who is keeping his borders shut for financial rather than medical reasons. 
    He has been a [censored] since day one. Made it as hard as possible for the AFL. Serves him and his team right (I assume he’s an arrogant WC fan just because he carries himself like a total [censored])

    Pies didn’t have to make excuses. In the last 9 rounds of the season they had 7 games at the Gabba, travelled out of Queensland once (to Adelaide v Adelaide when they were at their worst) and had a bye. Well done to them but they really had an armchair ride into the finals compared to us.

    We are a VFL side compared to 3 games this weekend. 
    i hope the Club realize it. 
    The Filth went over there and refused to lie down. Refused 

    That is what this Club has to believe as a Standard otherwise we are wasting everyones time. 
    People say Cox can’t play AFL

    He plays really well in Finals...

    Stop making excuses! We need to grow up and get past this mentality as a club and as a supporter base.

    • 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.
