Geez a port win and Dees win will give us a 2 game buffer at the top of the ladder. Fingers crossed we bring the pressure on Sunday.

    Wouldn't mind seeing the saints get up over the Cats. Highly unlikely though.

    Reckon GWS are a big chance against the Tiges.

    One morereason to dislike the Pies.......

    Rigging mark of the week....

    “We imagine it’ll be pretty hard for Checkers to beat Shai Bolton... Give it your all, Magpie Army,” the Magpies tweeted on Monday.

    The move proved a success, with the Magpies’ forward prevailing with just over half the fan vote.

    “Shoutout to the Magpie Army, you’ve done it,” Collingwood tweeted.

    The surprise voting result caused a storm of discussion on social media.

    “With all due respect to Brody, this wasn’t mark of the week. I reckon he would even agree with that,” Richmond great Matthew Richardson tweeted.

    Top of the ladder joy: as long as you keep winning at least one team falls further behind you in every other game!

    Example: If Port beat the Dogs, we go two games clear on top of the ladder.  But if the Dogs beat Port we go THREE games clear for securing a top-2 spot.

    When you're winning, everything is a win.

    I love that all the club and players have to think about is winning and the rest will take care of itself.

    Have now assumed we will be top 4 (well why not)

    Optimist says you want the interstate teams at 3 and 4. (Home ground advantage)

    Pessimist says you want to maximise the number of Vic teams in top 4 (avoids an interstate game)

    mmm I'll have to think on it but a Geelong loss would be nice either way

    I want the dogs to win as I would rather be 3 games clear of 3rd than 2 games clear of second. There is no difference between 1st and 2nd.

    Good point re. the Dogs over Port scenario. It's such an unfamiliar feeling as a (1980s onward) Melbourne supporter, this whole top-of-the-ladder caper!

    Keep waiting for the Cats to fall.  They are not good enough to bring consistent effort each week

    Who knows what you'll get with the Saints. could be an interesting game tonight

    Are we going 2 games clear or what - this week boys and girls!

    Really good point.

    The only advantage of 1st over 2nd is you get the 8 day break into a GF if both sides qualify...which hasn't happened since 2014 (Sydney V Hawks)

    They are giving Geelong a talk up after beating up on the Tiges. 

    Hope they don't get consistency and the saints come waltzing in.

    There's no way that Geelong are premiership favourites like they crapped on at the start of the telecast

    They've missed so many easy shots, they should be up by 10 goals

    • 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.
