Well you may regret your action Hardwck now that the GF is a distinct possibility. !

?

 
 

So where will finals be then? There wasn’t any mention of an MCG GF so I guess that’s off the table now. I find it bizarre that Perth are almost the only ones being properly considered to host the GF, Adelaide Oval is a stunning venue and would be a great location to host. I wonder is the treatment of the olympic athletes that had to double quarantine has made that impossible now. 


After seeing covid numbers in Vic today you can just about kiss finals at the MCG goodbye.

    This is why a part of me doesn't mind the pre finals bye. Give that extra bit of time to assess where numbers are at and hopefully allows us to attend finals in Melbourne.

    A bit of history when we’ve finished top 4….

    we’ve finished 1st 9 times for 8 flags and 1 runner up 

    we’ve finished 2nd 4 times for 2 flags

    we’ve finished 3rd 8 times for 1 flag and 1 runner up

    we’ve finished 4th 8 times for 2 runners up


    (…our other flag came when we finished in 6th position at the end of the home and away season)

    I’m a bit the same in that I’m surprised they’re considering ditching the bye, I guess they might feel if they can see what’s happening immediately they know more and feel more confident. Whereas if they keep the bye it could get better but it could get worse. What a world we live in! 🙄

    Cool. Might be worth me checking my monthly payments as well to see if they charged me for it again this year. 

    I'm being charged the same as last year.

    Hmmm...I wonder what proportion of a tridents home & away season ticket is made up of the grand final guarantee* then Clint. I've just checked and my monthly payments are the same as last year as well. Maybe they've increased the price of a season ticket by exactly the same amount they deducted for our carried over grand final guarantee* from last season. 

    *guaranteed until such point that it can't be guaranteed. 

    We should all be watching Tom Stewart's medical report to find out if the pre-finals bye is still on.

    If it is 2-4 weeks then the rest week is definite on.

    Well things are becoming clearer.

    We beat the suns and cats...FIRST

    Beat the suns and lose to cats maybe 2nd if dogs beat port.

    Which would have us play port if they win this weekend

    If we are first we could play cats two weeks in a row.

    If port win their next two we could be third and play power away if only we lose to cats after we beat the suns.

    Hopefully doggies snap out of their funk and smash port next week.

    So If results go as predicted today n tomorrow with Melb, Geel & Port...

    Winner of Geel/Melb (1st) v Loser of WB/Port (4th)

    Winner of WB/Port (2nd) v Loser of Geel/Melb (3rd)

    Crazy round 23!

    If the Dogs lose to Port and Brisbane belts the Pies and WC then Brisbane 4th and Dogs 5th.  About a 90 point swing required which is possible

    Finals start in 13 days!!

    i need to change my undies already!

    If results go expect this round (Geelong, Port and we all win), then next week is huge: if Port beats the Dogs next Friday night, we'll need to beat Geelong to avoid going to Adelaide for the first final.

    I really do not want to play geelong twice in a row. If it is their home game in finals and they play it down there I willl become demonically insane.

    I think you should be more worried about playing Port in Port. Very real chance of this happening. 

    almost resigned to that or the Cats at Kardinia Park

    that's 2021

    • 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?
