Being called an optimist is strange, as I am pessimistic about our game against Port. Port are basically at full strength and in good form, while we are not in great form and missing 60% of our goal to goal line, including our best player.

and 3-4 are in their worst form in some time.

    Can the Crows please beat the pies today. I'm sick of seeing those jammy bastards winning tight games. They are well and truly due a loss

    Pies are going to be equal on wins with us by tonight.

     

    Likely to be five teams on 48 points when our game starts tomorrow.

    Not many players can do what Tex can with both feet.

    Scott Pendlebury has nearly 350 games under his belt. He has 8 tackles so far in this game. No sign of slowing up yet

    and Toby is having one of his magic games against the bears

    Go Crows

    Hope so but Collingwood, as one would expect, are experts at getting out of jail.

    Hope the crows and giants win. 

    Seems the umps are a wake to Ginnivan and he isn't going to get his high frees anymore. 

    Good to see the umps not fall for it.

    Ginnivan would fair better with frees if his technique was more like Selwood's.  Selwood leans his head into the opps upperarm  and drops his knees just a fraction but usually keeps his feet.  Ginnivan leans his head into the opps shoulder but stretches his own arm up high which is a giveaway to the umps that he is staging.  He goes to ground waiting for the free, doesn't try to dispose of the ball and is correctly called HTB.

    I certainly don't condone Selwood's technique.  Prefer they were all penalised.

    Pies with the last 5 free kicks. Multiple missed for the crows. Insane

    whos at home?

    Crows delivery inside 50 letting them down. Poor execution and taking the wrong options

    It'll be tight but maybe some home town umpiring will see the Crows home

    Tex could give our forwards a few lessons on how and when to lead. I know he is a bit of a boofhead but I love watching his powerful forward movement.

    And although I hate to say anything good about the Pies, I consider Pendlebury the best Pies players I have seen. Sublime.

    I let myself get too excited by North last week, I'm not letting that happen again today with Adelaide.

    Fully assuming Collingwood pull yet another close win out of their rear ends.

    Winning close games is a bit of a skill, no doubt, but it's also a lot of luck. They're already 6-1 in close games this year, and IMO are in the conversation for having the least impressive "best" football for a top 4 contender I've ever seen. Their best football doesn't get close to us, Geelong, Fremantle, Carlton, Brisbane, or even Sydney, Richmond or the Dogs. But they keep games close with effort and they hold their nerve late.

    • 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?
