Jack Riewoldt this week: “But good luck if you’re playing against us in the last seven weeks, wherever we sit on the ladder. We believe we’re a bloody good football side. We’ve played really poorly the last two weeks ... but good luck if you’re playing us in the last seven weeks.”

Lol I suppose this is all good luck to Collingwood?

    My 5 leg multi has been screwed by the pies but I’m still happy that the Tigers are a rabble. 

    they’ll bottom our hard. Hard

    I see Demonland has given us all a rocket.

    I'm happy to have a rocket but I really don't want to relocate.

    It’s like playing whack a mole for the last two spots in the 8.

    Assuming Richmond and West Coast finish this round in the 8, here's the top 8's record vs the top 8:

    1. Melbourne - 6-0
    2. Sydney - 5-2
    3. Geelong - 5-3
    4. Bulldogs - 4-4
    5. Brisbane - 3-4
    6. West Coast - 2-4
    7. Port - 2-5
    8. Richmond - 1-6

    Ok, updating this to swap Fremantle in for Richmond (West Coast can't drop out of the 8 unless they lose to North and shed 13%, so I feel pretty safe this time...):

    1. Melbourne - 6-0
    2. Bulldogs - 5-3
    3. Sydney - 4-3
    4. Geelong - 4-3
    5. Brisbane - 3-4
    6. West Coast - 2-4
    7. Port - 2-5
    8. Fremantle - 1-5

    Great win to the Swans. They and the saints have done us a huge favour. Makes our win over Port doubly valuable.

    Depends if you see us competing with the dogs for top 4 or top 2. Or if you prefer the Swans to be out of the equation for top 4. I would have preferred a dogs win. The swans have a fairly easy run home, could get to 15 wins

    Thursday night Dees play great footy to win a big game.

    Saturday - a full day slowly pottering in the garden followed by slow roasted lamb over a day-long fire pit, with a nice Barossa red. Saints beat the Lions. Watched all 3 sets of Barty playing the stick inset from Czech.

    Sunday meal at Pratty's Patch celebrating 29 years of marriage. Bulldogs show their pressure weakness again and lose to the Swans. Tiges get done. 

    Feeling like a really smug b**tard tonight with the woodfire on and the Dees on top of the ladder. Look out Mrs Maldonboy!

    The season is actually getting a lot more interesting. Usuallly at this time of year the 8 is set, but the Suns, Saints, bombers, Freo etc are all in form. No easy games. 

    thanks Christ we banked wins early

    This is crazy, looking like six teams playing for the last two spots in the 8. Can’t see the Swans missing out now.

    • 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.
