Richmond has to knock off north next week and I'm not overly confident about it. Could slide back to pick 6 in worst case scenario.

    Silver lining for a Freo win next week v Port, will be us back in the top 2. If the Pies also get it done. 

    Edit: I mean this slightly sarcastically. Massive silver lining lol

    Why is Richmond tanking? Don't they know the pick doesn't belong to them?

    Hardwick saw the mess and jumped early when offered a nice young list

    Not surprising to read that a lot of aspiring coaches aren't applying for the position.

    We'll finish with a pick between 4-6. JT will find a very good player for us in that range i'm sure.

    West coast Eagles are a laughingstock. How is Adam Simpson still in a job?

    Cost a fortune to break his contract.

    Things are so bad now after Freo debacle they may have no choice.

    Will be staggering if he's still there in 2024. Theyre a very wealthy club.

    They'll cut a massive cheque and be done with him.

    Adam Simpson is the least of the problems at West Coast

    Their list management and fitness and conditioning teams need to be thrown out. 

    They need a complete overhaul of both.

    Health and conditioning head has been sacked. And no doubt their recruitment has been poor.

    i think Simpson is a big part of the problem. for whatever reason the players are obviously not playing for him. Thats a death knell for any coach. the only reason he is still there is because of his contract. Too expensive to sack.

    Goldcoast now playing like they’re tanking. Hard to believe they could be this incompetent.

    Useless bloody Suns couldn’t hold onto their lead, but the umpires did help to drag the blues over the line.

    Pick 4 will still be ours as long as the Suns can knock off roos and the hawks can take care of Freo.

    GC lost but didnt lose much %

    Freo should lose some % tomorrow hopefully

    Yes. That push out of Casboult was pretty obvious. 4 umpires and none of them can see it.

    pick 5 minimum and still a good chance for pick 4.

    The hawks will beat Freo next week i reckon but I hate relying on the Suns to hold up their end of the bargain. Wouldn't be surprised if the chit the bed against the roos. Most undependable team in the league

    Roos losing in the Reid cup is an absolute certainty.

    Well it was, until the WC board changed their stance on the potential to sack Simpson.

    Yes but they still have Curtin.

    North could have called their bluff and said take Reid and we take Curtin.

    Then swap them 2 years later anyway.

    Both clubs now get their first choice player.

    true. but WC could have split pick 1 and got a couple of picks. 

    do you think they'll split pick 2 or take curtin with it?

    I like our chances of getting Pick 4. On form I can't see how Fremantle beat Hawthorn and Gold Coast should beat North. Or both sides could win or lose and Gold Coast make up the 1.6% percentage differential (32 points right now).

    • 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?
