put on some Exile on Main St and try to enjoy the rest of our weekends. 

Time to get our Rocks Off and Rip This Joint!

Best one-two punch opening tracks of any album I can think of.

    Disagree. Pies ran over Bombers in last 10 minutes, with that extra days break. I think nearly every team with shorter break suffered the same thing. The fixed ture has really killed us late in the year. Even the two bottom sides we play twice are Pies and Dockers, while others got Eagles and Roos.

    Yeah, maybe. I thought the bombers still had the legs but lacked the poise required to finish the job.

    Bloody Collingwood getting out of jail again - appropriate as they need to get out to play, and many of the fans too.

    But 13 wins, 4th place,  and a percentage of 106,2 lower than any of the top 10 other than St Kilda.

    Quite bizarre.

    I just hope someone does end the Pies streak, puts them out of the finals in elimination week and the bottom falls out from their list next year because this run papered over the cracks too much, everyone starts talking about this year like they did with us and 2018 and it absolutely crushes their existence to oblivion.

    This filth success is doing my head in. It's worse than the Demons doing poorly.

    Imagine if the GF is filth v puddy tatts!! I'm an MCC member and have been to every grand final (other than 2020/21 obviously) for about 15 years. If these teams play off, I wouldn't go.

    Agree, I wouldn’t be watching that. 

    Just put a replay of 2021 GF on at the same time.

    If they get a tough draw in 2023 with this list they won’t make the 8. All we need is Malthouse to pick them for the flag to seal the deal.

    I just want their chances to die and be a very cheap funeral.

    • 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.
