Down to just two undefeated sides!

 

Yep and it presents as a great opportunity to skip away and create the 4 point buffer.

    We have a chance to be top two and 2 games clear of fourth. We must take this opportunity bu the scruff for the neck and really hammer the hawks.

    That was a great finish to the sydney/giants game. But gws should have won by having all those shots on goal. But it was good for us the giants winning. Hopefully we get up tomorrow go a game clear of the swans and keep on pace with the dogs. 

     But Toby kicking 1-7 that nearly hurt them. 

    The other good thing is the giants have gone past essendon and collingwood and pushed them down a spot each.

    Happy we didn't meet GWS with them making that effort.

    Thought they were going to run out of puff.

    Good desperate game.

    Sydney didn't handle the pressure.

    Hmmnn .... The chance to capitalise on an opportunity doesn't often end well with us.

    As much as I despise GWS and it pains me to see them win, that Sydney loss is bloody good for us.

    Watched the whole Bulldogs game.  Dogs impressive. Suns were poor and have injuries. 
     

    One area the Dogs have advantage over us the pace of Treloar and Bailey Smith. They really breaks away with the footy after Bont, Libba, Dunkley, Macrae win the footy.

    First time I've ever barracked for the Giants. Felt good to get a win in my first outing for them.

    Swans already starting to show their true colours. Will be lucky to make finals. Wicks with 6 touches, Warner 13. If Greene had not kicked 7 behinds in a row it would have not been close at all. We should handle the swans easily. Losing Rampe and Heeney hurts them significantly

    • 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?
