Chris Scott will be screaming tonight, Home final for Port. Of course a draw tomorrow night would put an end to that problem. 

No it wouldn’t. Geelong would finish third, Port second

    Heaven forbid a result ever goes our way?

    They most certainly went our way when GWS beat Geelong, Essendon beat Dogs and St Kilda beat Sydney a couple of weeks ago.

    Should not fear anything, MFC want to play in Adelaide.

    But not against a crowd of feral Port fans, scaring the umpires into giving them everything and  lifting their team.

    Chris Scott's already been on the phone to Gil stating how unfair it would be to send Geelong to Adelaide for an away final.

    Can't wait for the record free kick differential tomorrow night

    The game will be on tomorrow, as both teams I think would prefer not to play  Port in Adelaide. Winner will play Lions.

    Lol the dogs board blaming the umpires. Absolute flogs. Winning the free kick count for the year by 75+ and have certainly been kissed on the [censored] all year. Finally get called for their cheating throws and they [censored] about it

    A Brisbane team (who belted us in the first half) in red hot form at a neutral venue or a Port Adelaide team at home with all their feral supporters who’ve won their past 6.

    Neither task will be easy

    Port at a neutral venue would have been ideal.

    Remember when everyone was saying Melbourne had peaked too early and were talking up the Bulldogs?

    Well, the Bulldogs have now lost 3 in a row and we've won 3.

    I haven't rated the Bulldogs for most of the year and now it looks like they'll miss the top 4. 

    It is difficult seeing so many Bulldog figjams strutt around shaking their heads after the game, but I'll take it.

    But Port... wow, imagine them being a top 2 team this year. What a joke.

    Cats could finish second if they win. 
    They’d have to score 130 or similar to MFC 129 for their percentage to fall below PA

    Do we want to play Port in Adelaide, or the Lions in Adelaide?

    Why would be have to play in Adelaide. As home team we would get the choice. Go to Tassie

    Boak won that for Port.

    Dogs hard to like with sulky Bont, Libba, Smith, Weightman.

    But for a 3 point turnaround, tomorrow night’s game has gone from dead rubber status to first week of the finals status. Regardless of whether we’re a better side or not, playing Port in Adelaide with their crowd, and only their crowd, is a 4 to 6 goal harder job. We don’t want that, and neither do Geelong. Port are now in the finals box seat. As the only club who’ll get a home crowd for two finals at least, they have to now be favourites to make the Grand Final. Seems wrong, but there it is.

    Never when it matters. If Mufasa FC could have held on the most we would have lost tomorrow would be a minor premiership - now we’ll lose a home final and have to play the Power who have won their past 6 in a row.

    Not to bad for us.

    We have some incentive now to beat the Cats.

    Not sure if the Cats play well at home without their usual crowd. Must feel like a training drill for them.

    We have been winning and it is good form to go into a final series with winning form.

    Hoping we are too fast, fit and skillful for the old Cat. We could break them tomorrow, (as we have done to a few teams this year), and put their finals campaign in doubt.

    Great to see the Dogs fall, they have been called the team to beat, up to round 20. We have been the ones that they couldn't trust.

    Remind me again why we didn’t draft Wines! Unbelievably bad decision at the time.

    Clarry could seal the Brownlow tomorrow if he plays well. 
     

    What an absolute disaster. Port get to host finals with their home crowd. Nothing surer than them making the grand final. If it’s at AO they can just about seal the deal.

    Nothing we can do about it but win and avoid it. 

    It’s hard to think Port can be 4-5 on the ladder for most of the year and end up hosting two finals but that’s what happens when you win your last six, including Sydney, GWS and the Dogs.

    Well they said that last year and it didn’t happen.

    • 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?
