Dangerfield playing 2 good games in a row. 
Geelong has had sensational luck this season. Coupled with a dream draw, good player management and a killer forwardline. 
It was theirs to lose for about 10 weeks now and they don’t seem to want to choke again. 

They need to get a significantly harder draw next year. This year their draw was a joke for a team that finished 3rd last season. It was only ranked as the 8th hardest draw as the season began, and only got easier as some sides dropped off.

It was definitely their season.

    Geelong would want a couple more goals to be comfortable.

    Please, no more…

    Swans must kick 2 in a row

    This is not Melbourne. If they lose this from here it would be the worst choke in the history of the game. 

    They did that in round 23, 2021.

    Dees we need to take notice of how to manage players and be fit heading into finals!

    And not just within a season.  Tracc on 360 alluded to us going even harder this pre-season vs 2021's pre-season.

    Sounds like we may have also gone too hard too early.

    Yep, ridiculously soft draw in the lead up to finals. Pair that with the bye week, another week off before the prelim, then a soft kill for the prelim itself, it's no surprise they've got plenty of fuel in the tank.

    Didn't expect Sydney to be this bad though.

    Frankenstein absolutely useless.  I guess the new contract will satisfy him?

    Swans fired their shots and didn't get the in roads they needed. Anything can happen but give me the blue and white side of proceedings any day.

    That was not a grand final and Sydney are not Melbourne 2021.

    With a good injury run we are winning it next year.

    Swans no where near it, Collingwood won’t have a nother miracle season and Geelong wonmt have another pissweak draw like this year and alot of players will retire.

    They will but I’ll bet my house they find a way to make it easier than ours. They will probably play a majority of the top 8 games at GMHBA and their away games to the bottom 4.

    3/3 last games will be in VIC (MCG away games + GMHBA home games).

    Anyone thinking we would be down this much if we were plying are kidding themselves. Even with how banged up we are.

    Sydney are way before their time..

    We wouldn't, as reigning premiers we would show some pride and fighting spirit at the very least. Clayton Oliver by himself would trump over Paddy "Throws" Dangerfield.

    We took a risk with May last year and it paid off. Sometimes you gotta take a punt on your most important players.

    Yes ive never rated their mid field mix aside from Parker.

    Still has me flummoxed how they beat us....twice!

    Might have something to do with our game plan vs the frenetic attack at all costs stuff Geelong dished up to them in the first quarter, I suspect.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
