The frustrating thing though is the saints get back in it & now they let Essendon kick away again. 

Lets hope they have the legs for the final term

    God Essendon are kicking higher scores than us.

    The saints have a tough draw. They will rue this one. The saints could have moved up to the top 4.

    I’m sure they’re tired though.

    Thanks for the confirmation. 

    Was quite an achievement by me to observe that given how stoned I am right now.

    Only proves you need to play or score for all the quarters.  [censored] into the wind for one quarter and you are playing catch up

    The Saints played a very average game. What's worse is that Essendon just kicked 107 points against them.

    Ugh what a horrible start to the weekend with them winning.

    I guess the positive thing is Essendon fans won't be calling for ruttens head & wanting Hird back

    Not this week anyway.

    With Collingwood a certainty to play finals, this loss by St Kilda could cost them a spot on in the finals.

    You can’t be losing to a bottom 3 side this far into the season.

    I know it’s an obligation for a Melbourne supporter to hate on Essendon but I enjoyed their performance tonight.

    Credit to them. Saints didn’t come to play when it mattered.

    Collingwood are so much better than last year it isn’t funny.

    - Easy remaining fixture. Play North, GWS, ESS, Adel, GC.

    - excellent record against the top 8 thus far

    - have a healthy list.

    - just look like a damn good team to be honest.

    Collingwood are playing finals this year.

    On the contray we need to look at all these 8 point games  (we beat the Dons, they beat a finals rival of ours , the Saints)  as a real bonus now its not absolutely certain the Dees can make the 8, and if we do this result helps us enormously re; ours finals position vs the Saints.

    More power to the Bombers against all top 8 sides from now on I say.

    • 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?
