Dons pose a bigger risk of Finals upsets than Eagles.

    Both Freo and West Coast can still make the eight. Only two outside that can.

    I enjoyed that game. Great atmosphere, seasons on the line. West Coast lose. Great stuff

    WCE should really chair Margetts off the ground...

    Lovely simple end to the H+A Season:

    Melbourne win, top of the ladder
    GWS/Essendon win, finals

    GWS/Essendon lose, WCE/Freo win, finals.

    It's all set up.

    Giants and bombers play blues and pies so no chance for WA teams

    Ch 7 news has just decreed that in their view Hawkins will not be charged. 
    So, nothing to see here. 

    I didn’t realise paying hundreds of millions for tv rights also allowed Channel 7 MRO voting rights, but there you go.

    You been watching this season. Sad part is ten wins might get you a finals game. Granted it most likely will take 11 wins.

    West Coast have to beat Brisbane in Brisbane and Freo need to beat St Kilda by a massive margin and hope Essendon lose to Collingwood. Good [censored] luck. 
    GWS play Carlton. Lol.

    AFL website says Hawkins and Dangerfield, no case to answer. 
     

    Predictable,  really. It was an act of foolish optimism to have posed the question in the first place…(with apologies to Monty Python)

    The worst thing about the Hawkins decision is you can almost guarantee if he was at small club he would have been suspended.

    Absolutely 100%. Annoys the F out of me that the cats get this free ride with the MRO. 

    Rules for one club, different for other clubs. 

    When it comes to the MRO’s ruling the first box that gets ticked is “Do they play for Geelong?”

    Yes = no case

    No = immediate suspension

    Did you pick the Hawks to beat the Dogs this week.

    Actually yes. Game was in Tassie for one. Clarko on a mission to give Hawks board the fingers. Dogs lost Bruce so need time to adjust. 
    Freo’s list is decimated by injuries.

    My hopes for week 23

    We win the minor premiership

    Port lose to the doggies and finish 4th so play us in week 1 of finals

    West coast lose to Brisbane and miss finals

    The pies beat Essendon (they did it to us a few years ago maybe they'll repeat the trick against the bombers)

    Freo to beat the Saints who have nothing to play for thereby sneaking into 8th spot at the expense of Essendon

    That would be an epic final H&A weekend as far as i'm concerned

    Bit of a shame that freo winning means that essendon stay in the eight. 

    Essendon scare me more atm than west coast.

    You can’t count on much this year but the pies and blues being [censored] is the closest thing to a sure thing we have right 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
