Well the good news out of today is that it's now not possible for the Demons to finish lower than 6th.

    Just FFS keep winning and we will be top 2.

    So sick of depending on other results - have put up with this for nigh on 60 years.

    Was just a statement of fact Mono, not a wish!

    Hawks may do us a favour. Would be a perfect Sunday if top 4 was close to locked in

    Hawthorn leading Brisbane by 30 halfway through the second.

    Remember, if Brisbane lose even once for the rest of the year, we only need one more win to ensure they cannot pass us.

    So if they drop this game and Essendon can get up over Sydney (I can't see either happening but still), then one more win will lock us into top 4.

    Hawks are a real chance in this game. Playing well and managed to hold their quarter time lead kicking into the breeze. the Lions have their work cut out for them in the 2nd half

    Not a bad effort, six minutes into the game and already TWSNBN getting frees no other team gets. Illegal disposal decisions, favourable angle kicking for goal.You name it they get it.

    Hawthorn, Essendon and Giants wins would be nice to round out the weekend.

    Hawthorn 6 goals up middle of the 3rd qtr is huge for our top 4 chances.

    Lions have lost to 10th, 13th and now down by 40 to 17th in the last four weeks. What a funny game football is.

    Lol, not even a crowd a the game and Essendon supporters still going berserk.

    I checked in on twitter just now and 'Razor Ray' has been trending for the last 30 minutes and it is just Essendon supporters telling him to 'eat a D', 'Gagf', 'and his mother', etc etc etc.

    Hilarious.

    It suits Melbourne for Essendon to win, but I hope it only happens because of a really bad free kick in the dying seconds. That'll confuse them.

    Not quite. Need the Swans to lose as well. If they do we'll be 2.5 games clear in Top 4

    They beat us by showing pride and being more desperate to win than we were. Something we really have never done against a top team when we've been down the bottom. 

    How they are winning any games with their deplorable list is beyond me. Just an out and out competitive culture. We should still be aspiring to become as good a club as they are.

    • 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.
