I want to start enjoying this thread again.

Freo’s start to the season was a false economy.

They’re a top 8 side that was masquerading as a bottom 4 side.

I can see them replacing Adelaide in the top 8 come seasons end.

    They're really not either...

    Their start was a false economy as is their current form.

    They've beaten bottom or banged up teams.

    They sit somewhere around 9 to 12...anything lower is a bonus for us.

    I suggest we kill 2 birds with the one stone this weekend.

    improve our top 4 chances and improve our chances of a high draft pick.

    Just win this game Dees

    Shouldnt throw rocks in glass houses. Forget about the silly draft picks, we have a season to play out.

    Could be death riding demons if they screw up over the next 4 weeks.  No guarantee we'll even make the 8 .

    We'll know soon enough. We have very few injuries far less than other clubs. Even Port had three key players out .

    Port were missing talls on a wet night. They were probably better without them...so I disagree re "key" We were down Sparrow and Petty...perhaps Brown ( unsure of his status now) We also has Oliver injured in the game and Pertracca at half rat power for the whole game. Plus Fritta on altered training now for months. So...we've def had our fair share of injuries and suspensions in 23. Come Sat we'll be down Oliver and Hunter and unsure of what Trac can do. these are pretty big outs.

    I got an idea. Take a shovel and start shovelling soil over this thread.

    You are wasting your energy.

    We can only blame Goodwins lack of control of a list that should be fighting for top 2 week in and week out. We are our worst enemy.

    Close the stupid thread. 

    They were a 15 win season last year that were 20 points off a prelim.

    As if they were ever going to finish in the bottom 6 this year.

    And credit to Luke Jackson for defeating the much ‘vaunted’ Gawn/Grundy on his own.

    Currently picks 15 (2022), 12 and 30 for Jackson after he beat Gawn and Grundy today.

    Peter Bell would be very pleased with himself

    Adelaide win tomorrow and it's back to thank you Peter Bell for a top 10 pick. 🤣

    • 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?
