    GC and Port have a better Percentage than the Pies! Can’t wait to see them with a tough draw next. Won’t make finals

    Lost our first game in round 11 and now there are several teams equal on wins. Second half of the season has been a flop for us (so far)

    Are we on the way to doing a North circa (I can't remember)

    I am so happy though that we are loaded

    Pies could do some damage in the finals.

    Unlike Carlton and Freo, Collingwood have plenty of veterans that played in the 18, 19 and 20 finals series. They’re not as young as the media make them out to be.

    I get it that they’re just scraping over the line against mediocrity but I wouldn’t rule them out in winning the flag. 

    I’d say Geelong would beat them in a final though.

    Sigh.

    They're 7-1 now in games decided by under two goals.

    I would love to know if there has ever been a side sit this high on the ladder this late into a season with a percentage of 106.2%.

    In their last 3 games they’ve beaten The Suns, North and The Crows by an average of 6 points.

    Sides come up with 3 more goals across their last 240 minutes of footy and they’d be 10th.

    Didnt see the game obviously a good contest and i notice frees about the same at Adelaide Oval. Collingwood got loads of them as did the  crows. Pies 22 frees last i looked may have been more.

    Melbourne? 3 frees in 3 quarters at the same game r16.

    How would Collingwood have gone getting 3 frees after qtr time today? Highly likely they would have lost.

    B****y Collingwood. As much as I admire Pendlebury I despise the jumper, the club, the club's history built on the back of John Wren's dirty money, and especially Ginnivan. I reckon I will watch the replay of the next game they lose. The fact they are equal with us on points makes me puke.

    That is something that will never happen. Umps like Collingwood as they do Carlton and the Dogs.

    There are few guarantees in life, but I reckon it's a dead set certainty that if it was us winning these close games against bottom six sides, you would be writing us off entirely as fluking it. Yet Collingwood does it and they are a chance to win the flag.

    Did Ginnivan drop his knee into the Crows player's neck/upper chest (late in the 3rd/early in the 4th) when they were wrestling on the ground?

    As it currently stands 5 teams on 48 points at the top of the ladder. If the blues were to get up, that would be 6 on 48+ points before we play....this is not the game we want to lose.

    Yes - they’re a chance for the flag.

    You disagree?

    Ginnivan is a [censored] but he is a hard player who gets to the ball. Im starting to think he is ok.

    I wish our pressure and tackling was as manic as what Collingwood’s has been for most of this year.

    When you know you're not going to get pinged when you tackle from some whistle crazy maggot, it makes a difference to both facets of pressure. That of course notwithstanding several  of the biggest appealers in the AFL.

    McRae close to coach of the year. The pies won't keep winning close games but he is extracting the maximum from this team. They tackle and pressure as good as any, run both ways and they take the game on. I hope they flame out later in the year but you never know. They could well go deep into finals

    Looks like North are going to tease us again

    Hard not to get excited though. 10.2 to 3.12. Keep it up, North!

    HQ would like North, Carlton, Sydney, Port and Gold Coast to win. 6 teams on 48, 1 on 44 and 8th spot still open with 5 teams on 36 points.

    Genuinely disgraceful from North. Where has this been all year? 
    Gotta feel for Noble.

    • 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?
