Well done to the Tigers. Great effort for their captain and the cherry on top they're now ........ 9th. 😆

Credit also to the size of the crowd that turned up taking into consideration the weather

    Suns have improved a lot this season. I expect them to beat Carlton today and have a good crack at getting into the 8. Would be great to see them make finals (I've lambasted them for a long time, but they are finally showing some ticker). Would be magnificent if they made finals at the expense of Essendon.

    So far this weekend the results have suited us putting a game distance to couple of teams that were breathing down our necks. I have seldon enjoyed two rounds of footy more than the last two rounds and we haven't played in one of them.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see the Tigers get up tonight. 

    No bigee.

    I am never surprised when any side gets up against StKilda.

    Were gifted a soft fixture  won a few games against flat teams and the media started talking about finals. Clueless knobs.

    Don't think there a bad side. Some very good talent but will be vying with a few to make the 8.

    Just noticed Port on top of the ladder. I had to go have a panadol.

    Their defence has no idea. Take a look at  highlights 1st qtr. Wouldn't be a single saints player that would be in our top six defenders.

    They have played one more game than the Pies so it could be an aberration.

    Shades of what is to come with 19 teams. Assuming they have the byes in blocks rather than one team each week and who knows what for the last five rounds the ladder positions will be a relative nightmare on a weekly basis.

    Would love to see Norff and Suns get up this arvo. Blueboyz damn lucky they're not playing "oop north" on the goldcoast under humid greasy conditions. Wouldnt back them in a fit.

    Not sure who I want to win.

    GC puts a game between them and freemantle while a Carlton win gets them within 2 points of freo and perhaps threaten to put them down another spot on the ladder later in the season.

    I'm going to ignore the permutations and barrack for a Carlton loss.

    Because it's Carlton and it's the right thing to do.

    Tx Debauched, yea they were poor. I also think with Salo back we have the best bline going about.

    I hate saying this and I feel dirty but I expect Carlton to win today. 

    Same here after 6 straight but they look poor.

    I said it last year but Levi Casboult would be perfect for our game style. Competes so well in the air.

    Probably keen to leave. Would be a great addition.

    I remember when we use to play in this time slot.. 

    The funny thing is that this timeslot usually gets the best commentator team, usually led by Huddo who by all rights should have Brian Taylor's job.

    • 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?
