Carlton may end up having a comfortable win over GWS but they appear to be a rung below the Collingwoods and Sydney’s of the top 8.

Our game against them in round 22 is an absolute non negotiable.

    What are the odds of us going 0-4 on the run home and Dogs OR St Kilda  and Richmond going 4-0 on the run home?

    We’ll miss finals if that happens.

    If Dogs lose next week to Geelong we’ll probably unofficially qualify regardless of  us winning another game.

    Come on Dubs, I just want everyone to fall down today and make it a little bearable.

    Nothing surer than us going 0-6-1 in the “hoping team X wins”

    The sad reality is I want the druggos to win. I absolutely hate the filth.

    It is seriously the biggest waste of time and energy.

    GWS are in serious danger of long term irrelevance. If they lose another tier of younger players again this year I think HQ will be furious. 5 years ago it seemed inevitable, and now it seems impossible.

    Well, you wouldn’t expect the team sitting 14th to do so…let’s see how they fare in the remaining four rounds against actual contenders and teams vying for spots in the 8.

    if The Filth continue to fix up Essend.... then our weekend will be a Dee-saster - they will need to win by 20 goals but still Im that negative after last night that Im in that frame of thought - negative.

    They finish the H&A against us, Swans and Carlton. That run of games will give us a good idea of how they'll fare come finals

    Ginnavin wont get a free kick for the rest of his career after that one

    We’ve been waiting all year for them to fall over though.

    This team has the defensive buy-in to make a grand final.

    Just like our commitment to defence last year.

    I say we go for Cox rather than Grundy when/if Jackson leaves.

    Ugh the one game in the year I have to barrack for Essendon 🤮and they can’t even make it worth the angst. Makes me hate them even more. If that’s even possible.

    • 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.
