    Pies won 11-5, but percentage only 107%, shows they’ve had a lot of close wins, but aren’t anything flash!

    Their luck will run out. What a bunch of cheats, ducking for frees all day. Sadly they are being umpired to the top 4.

    Pies won't beat Adelaide over there. They've ridden their luck

    If you take your arm off the ball to draw the tacklers arm high it should be considered prior and holding the ball. It’s ruining the game. Supporters absolutely loathe it.

    Trying to find positives, best one I can think of is it moves carlton down another rung and they can still miss the 8 :)

    Only made worse by the fact that a decent bar in Thailand is rendered positively toxic by a group of loud mouthed filth supporters

    2 behinds won't help or maybe the nth players want noble gone.

    Anyway it will be an interesting night at the noble house between Joh and his dad. 

    People going on about Ginnivan, players will just have to learn to tackle lower and then he will get pinned and look like a goose.

    Look at it this way.  All the Pies supporters will now have their hopes up and be dreaming of a Premiership, which will make them being bundled out of the finals all the more sweet for the rest of us.

    Yuck they have now jumped to 5th and only 1 game behind us. 

    Just one year it would nice to not have either essendon or the pies in the finals.

    They've had a very fortuitous season IMO.

    Beat Essendon by 11, Carlton by 4, Hawthorn by 4, GWS by 11, GC by 5 and now North by 7.

    5-0 in that run could so easily have been 3-2 or worse, which would have them back in the pack and/or out of the 8.

    To their credit they held on in all of those games, but generally speaking when a side does this well in close games they eventually regress back to the "norm", which is to not win 100% of them. Could happen this year with their moderately difficult run home, or otherwise we might find that next year they drop off in ladder position as you can't expect to continually win these close games.

    Have a mate who’s a North supporter - he was shattered. His text below after the game is eerily similar to what I’d have been sending out 10 years ago. We know what they’re going through.  

    “Could see it coming a mile a way. First 30 seconds of the last and I knew we’d stopped believing. Absolutely devastated.”

    All being well the Pies will crash and burn in the finals.

    • 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?
