Assuming we finish third and Geelong finish second, would that mean a final at Kardinia Park or still at the MCG?

85-90000 people and the money it brings is the answer.

    Would love to just tease them slowly over 3 games and smash them when they thought they were a chance

    I, for one, I’m going against all history and saying that I am really looking forward to the last week of the season. I truly believe we will beat them. May owes Hawkins and will close him right down, Cameron is iffy at best, and I think it will all be sweet indeed

    How awesome is it that at this stage of the year we already KNOW we are playing finals!

    Moreover, looking at potentially being in the top two!

    Usually we don’t know until the end of round 23. And even then it would depend on Team A beating Team B and Team C losing to Team D but only if it’s a 10+ goal loss. AND there has to be a blood moon AND a partial eclipse of the sun AND Halley’s Comet has to be visible AND all the stars and planets must be aligned etc. for us to make the eight.

    AFL site still showing tickets available for Richmond v Collingwood this afternoon.

    Amazing drop in crowds even considering the form of the two clubs.

    I’m sure the GWS players are enjoying the opportunity to play in front of a bigger crowd compared to a normal home game at Blacktown

    I know it's kind of meaningless in the grand scheme of our season, but part of me would quite like to see the Swans knock the Bulldogs off today, so that I can bask in us sitting on top of the ladder again.

    not meaningless at all.

    home ground means we don't have to wear white shorts ?

    And of course Brisbane can still end up 1 or 2 ?

    Its always a very tough ask at their fortress.

    But we have done it before so heres hoping and lets hope we have a repeat of last time finals against them if we meet.

    Jim, yeah I forgot about that and I agree it's pretty important.  Two grand finals we have played in my lifetime I'm guessing we would have worn white shorts and lost both.

    It was more being on top of the ladder in Rd 17 that is ultimately pretty meaningless that I was referring to.  But meh, I don't care.  After all the years of putrid, frustrating and/or mediocre seasons we have had, just being on top of the ladder at the end of the round gives me a few warm fuzzies inside, so I'll take that for now.

    One of the several clubs contending for the MFC's previous monopoly on that feat.

    Although the Suns are now choking it up. I was trying to decide whether the club should consider targeting  Izak Rankine. I think I've decided. He can't possibly be fair dinkum.

    1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

    It’s funny watching Hogan; he’s clearly such a natural footballer

    I wonder if, like the wizard, he regrets his decision to leave the Dees

    I did a bit at the time, but given we essentially  got Maysy in return and the way Hogans career subsequently went south, I almost couldn't be happier that Jessie went back to WA. 

    The only better scenario that possibly could have eventuated was if we'd have picked up Steve May a season later as a FA and Jessie had pulled himself together a bit more and somehow gotten over his injuries better.

    But in hindsight those list management changes we made at the end of 2018 will go down as a master class in football department decision making.

    4.1 kicked to the left of screen, 12.13 to the right so far at Mars for those playing along.

    Just switched on the current game and am surprised at how much of a crowd there is. The twelve Suns nuffies behind the goals are even making a bit of a racket.

    • 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?
