This game was not as important as the Swans losing, but wonderful to see the umpires lose a game they tried to win.

Good weekend.

    OMG the Bont free kick situation has got completely out of hand

    I only saw a few minutes but that last gift goal was an absolute travesty - dropped the ball in a tackle then gifted the free.

    You know the Bont is winning the Brownlow just by how much the umpires love and protect him

    This isn't as good a result for us as people think.

    If we go 2-1 from here and the Dogs go 2-0, the Dogs will finish above us - even with this loss, we still have to win all three games, and/or the Dogs have to lose to Hawthorn or Port (in Melbourne), for us to finish above them.

    It's certainly possible (Port's in form, for example), but it's still not that likely.

    But Essendon's win puts them in pole position to finish in the top 8, particularly if we beat West Coast tomorrow (Essendon has the percentage buffer over all their competitors).

    Last night I said GWS had given up on the season.

    Today I said the bombers looked horrific.

    And, last week I said how glad I was that Peter Wright didn’t come to us.

    Im on a roll folks!

    this weekend has shown the teams playing for finals spots are dangerous opponents. WCE are in danger of dropping out so we have to bring our A game. A slow start is not acceptable tomorrow

    You do realise that Essendon have an easy last 2 games and will probably make finals now and we have to put up with there arrogant fans. They are actually not a bad team & could cause some trouble.

    Bont clearly has won the Brownlow. Umpires fawn over the bloke. It’s sickening.

    If Clarry got the same love he would win it this year with the highest votes EVER

    Nah. Don't stress. 2 meter Peter will never play a game like that again and the bombers wouldn't kick as straight again. They'll do nothing in finals

    100% HTB  No grey area. But even if not HTB, dangerous tackle?! Is that ump for real?

    So some people are already celebrating top spot and we have not even played yet. And top spot means nothing until the end of the final series.

    Did we just Steven Bradbury to spot? 

    We haven't done anything yet.

    First we have to win tomorrow. That puts us on top.

    Then we have to outdo Geelong and the Bulldogs by a game, because we'll only be half a game in front.

    So, if we beat West Coast tomorrow, and then Adelaide, but lose to Geelong, both Geelong and the Dogs will pass us unless they lose another game (which requires Geelong to lose to St Kilda, or the Dogs to lose to Hawthorn or Port).

    • 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.
