Bulldogs couldn’t have asked for a better situation than to play the Eagles at Subiaco without a crowd, in the rain.

    GWS' recent "form" is a furphy.

    Since beating West Coast in Round 10 they've been thrashed by Brisbane, drew with North and had a win over an inept Carlton, and have now lost to Hawthorn.

    Right now, COVID aside, I'd argue Fremantle are as well placed as anyone to displace Richmond or Sydney from the top 8.

    GWS are such a disappointment. How is Cameron not under intense pressure? Is it because GWS only has 3 supporters?

    Looking at the weather radar that should be the end of the rain Perth.

    They only had a few mms but it seemed to come at the start of the game.

    Could be a better second half from the Eagles

    And none of them understand the game.

    One of my favourite non MFC players is Weitering. McKay gets all the accolades, but Weitering is just as good, if not better.

    I know he signed a contract extension relatively recently, but I'd love him in our back 6 one day.

    Looking for that sweet spot where Carlton win just enough games to retain David Teague.

    it's important he stays to complete the platform for their next era of mediocrity and unfulfilled potential.

    Another massive percentage booster for the Dogs. While I don’t want interstate clubs in the top 4, I’m sick of the Dogs sniffing our [censored].

    It's a pity the West Coast crowd aren't present to witness this. Neck and neck with Essendon as the most entitled supporters in the league.

    Eagles at home in Perth without a crowd is worth 1-2 goals a quarter. With that neutralised, as just now, they’re just not all that. Good luck for the Bulldogs, and have to say I’m jealous at how well their forward line is functioning.

    Just checked the doggies fixture. They've got a dream run home. Only game they could potentially drop is us only.

    The rest are all bottom 8 bar Port Adelaide last round.

    Yep and our ordinary percentage thanks to our inability to put teams away is going to hurt us in the run home. Finish 3rd or 4th and get sent to play Lions at the Gabba would be a complete disaster.

    WCE paid the price for bringing in too many off a long spell.  Naitanui went missing in the last quarter again.  That final quarter was a demolition.

    LOL. Have Carlton organised an open top bus down Lygon St for tomorrow.

    Percentage is irrelevant if we finish first or second.

    But we could well finish 4th or 5th because of it. We have by far the hardest draw of the rest of the top 5 sides. We play Geelong, Port, Dogs and West Coast (away). The rest have maybe one game left against a top 5 side.

    We haven't put teams away at all and I reckon it's going to potentially cost us in the long run.

    I'll cop a bit for this but I honestly think the doggies are currently the best team in the comp.

    I think Brisbane are better. They are more even across the ground. I think Dogs have a suspect backline. But time will tell.

    • 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?
