    Unfortunately doesn't really help us

    Freo draw as good as a win with relative %s when compared to us

    We win Tomorrow and it’s 6 points

    Am I right in thinking this is a perfect result? 

    Don't think so, Freo well behind on % were basically extra half a game behind so basically haven't gone backwards relative to Melbourne 

    Now just officially half a game behind

    Marked on 50 would have had to kick from 55 or 60 out.

    Yeah but you get it punched through you get the point.

    What an interesting result

    Great game of footy, great finish. But in reality, I feel  both teams lost it. 

    It is sad to see modern defensive strategy now totally dominates, while forward play and in particular kicking, is losing its vitality.

    Oh the humanity of everyone's reactions on the siren with that draw. How could you want to remove that from the game?

    Hopefully that game bashed that crap out of Freo 

    Hopefully we can avoid this sort of intensity against the Dogs.

    That's right and beat Freo it becomes 10 and unlikely to catch us.

    Yes

    But if freo had won, and we win tomorrow it would be 4 pts and 12% (as good as 6 pts)

    But they didn’t win. So it is a good result

    Not if the punch pushes it froward - yes if touched on the way through.

    The Dogs now have a top 8 spot in their grasp.

    Another step closer to doing a Richmondy?

    Freo had the majority of the play in last quarter and blew it. They seem incapable of kicking goals. Richmond are just inaccurate.

    • 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.
